The 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 Engine Choices

  • 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 – While this is the first pickup V6 engine that uses active fuel management, you certainly wouldn’t know it based on its capabilities.

Thanks to the use of direct injection and variable valve timing technology, this engine gets 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.

Putting out 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of peak torque, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 still gets an estimated 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. When properly equipped, the 2014 Silverado 1500 can tow up to 11,500 lb.
