2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid Review
from the Cars.com expert editorial team
Vehicle Overview
The Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid is a half-ton pickup truck that achieves better overall fuel economy than a gas-powered Silverado, but it can still pull a 6,100-pound trailer. Available exclusively in the crew-cab body style, the Silverado Hybrid can seat up to six people and is expected to use one-quarter less gas than a regular Silverado.
New for 2013
There are no significant changes for 2013.
Exterior
In passing, the Silverado Hybrid doesn’t look much different from its gas-only sibling except for hybrid badges on the front fenders and the tailgate. Exterior features include:
- Low-rolling-resistance tires
- 18-inch wheels
- Deeper front air dam than regular Silverado
- Standard tonneau cover
- Available power tilt/sliding sunroof

- Gauge tracks optimal fuel economy
- Hybrid badge on tachometer
- Available leather seats
- Available navigation system
- Available Bose premium stereo
