New 2014 Silverado Underwent Extreme Durability Testing

HINGHAM, Mass.- The Chevrolet Silverado is know for its ability to outlast the toughest tasks, but Chevy took it a step further with the latest model. The new 2014 Silverado underwent extreme durability testing to ensure it is capable of any challenge. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverados benefit from 12.5 million miles of testing, conducted before the first truck even arrived on dealership lots.

To make sure the new Silverado is even tougher than the previous generation, the 2014 Silverado underwent 12.5 million miles of extreme durability testing. The test trucks traveled from desert temperatures in Yuma, Arizona to sub-zero cold in Kapuskasing, Ontario to extreme testing at General Motors' Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan, completing more than 4 million miles of combined vehicle durability testing to push the Silverado to its limit before beginning production. Some of the tough tests included traversing the Belgian blocks, splashing through the off-road-simulation grit trough, climbing/descending a 30% grade, and driving at high speeds.

The Silverado was pushed to it's limit, loaded to gross vehicle weight in many of the tests. However, since most drivers don't drive their truck fully loaded on a regular basis, an additional fleet of test trucks racked up 8.2 million miles of real-world mileage.

Chevrolet's goal with the 2014 Silverado durability testing was to improve areas that could be improved and stick with what was already considered world class. The 2014 Chevy Silverado truck includes three key durability improvements from the pervious model.
-A high-strength steel frame that will not crack, even when loaded to full capacity.
-New four-wheel-disc brake system with Duralife brake rotors that offer double the service life and brake-tuning revisions that improve pedal feel for more confident braking performance on any driving surface.
-An anti-chip coating on the lower body side that offers extra protection from stones and gravel.
