The Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck has many claims to fame. Look at last year's model alone. It was named 2011 Truck of the Year by Motor Trend magazine. It earned a laudable 4.5-out-of-5 overall consumer rating on Kelley Blue Book, ranking highest for reliability, quality and comfort. And, it's proven itself to be more of a road warrior than any of its closest competitors.

How could Chevy improve on such perfection? Berger Chevrolet concedes, it wasn't easy. After a lot of brainstorming, they decided to appeal to some of the most prominent truck buyers out there - Texans. That's right. To honor the residents responsible for buying roughly one out of every six pick trucks sold in the U.S.,  Chevrolet developed a special "Texas Edition" - to be introduced for the 2012 model year.

"We think the Silverado HD and Texas are a winning combination," said Dave Nottoli, discussing inception of the special edition. "We started with the Chevrolet Silverado HD, which was 2011...Truck of the Year, and gave it some Texas attitude...When you take the capability of the Silverado HD, then add the features and amenities of the Texas Edition, we think it will be a hit..."¹

The Texas Edition will be available on both the forthcoming 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD. All Texas Editions will come with the standard features below.

2012 Silverado Texas Edition At a Glance

-  Best coverage package of any full-size pickup available! (Includes:  10-year 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, roadside assistance, and courtesy transportation program)
- Entertainment and Connectivity Features: CD player, USB port, steering-wheel mounted controls, and hands-free Bluetooth
- Convenience Features: Six-way power driver seat, power camper mirrors complete with turn signals, fog lamps, EZ-Lift tailgate, automatic climate control, and six-inch assist steps

The main difference between the 2500HD and 3500HD, in addition to each model's core powertrain, is that the Texas Edition adds 20-inch polished forged aluminum wheels exclusively to the 2500HD. The 3500HD will come only with 18-inch or 17-inch wheels, depending on drivers' choice of AWD or Duallys.
