/ 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO: A SMART, SOLID COMBINATION OF STRENGTHS
HERE ARE THE FIVE QUICK REASONS HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL
IS THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE FOR OUR TRUCK BODIES:

DURABILITY: Chevy trucks feature a substantial amount of rugged high-strength steel in the frame and
body structure, and roll-formed steel boxes. These steels are light and durable, and our body shop technicians
are already experienced in repairing them.
“
VALUE: High-strength steel costs less to buy than aluminum, which may impact repair costs and ownership
costs, according to a report by the American Iron and Steel Institute (steel.org). Silverado has been named Best
Value Truck Brand by Vincentric, partly because of average cost of ownership.
CONVENIENCE: Current estimates say only about 10 percent of body shops are set up to repair aluminum
bodies. Ford has started a process to certify dealer-owned and independent body shops to service aluminum,
according to a Bloomberg News article (Jan. 14, 2014).
CHOICE: Our three-truck portfolio, all built with high-strength steel, offers a Truck for Everybody. With our
comprehensive lineup, customers can choose the best truck for their needs.
EFFICIENCY: Lightweight, high-strength steel helps fuel economy.1 Silverado’s 2WD models offer the best V8
highway fuel economy in their class at an EPA-estimated 23 MPG. We balance efficiency with other important
factors to truck buyers: quality, reliability, value for the money and previous experience with the brand.
