The Chevy Silverado is one of the most popular trucks in the world. But will the recent strikes at GM affect the companies ability to supply these trucks?
Sometimes, numbers in a vehicle’s name mean something. In BMWs, for example, they used to signify both the specific series (3-series, 5-series, etc.) and the engine displacement. E.g., a 328i was a 3-series with a 2.8-liter engine. Now, such digits are little more than an internal sorting code. Even trucks aren’t necessarily immune to this. …

Lighter engines, too, which also affects maximum …
