DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
premier online resource for buying and selling new and used cars,
announced tonight that the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is the winner
of the first-ever Cars.com "Best Pickup Truck of 2014" award,
powered by PickupTrucks.com. The "Best Pickup Truck" award winner
embodies the utmost in power, capability and value.
"The new Silverado is packed with structural upgrades, new
technology and more safety features than ever before, and when it
comes to power, capability and value, the Silverado truly has it
all," said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com's
Editor-in-Chief. "We've driven this truck over many rugged miles,
and it doesn't simply do what it says it can do, but it does it
with style, comfort, and margin of safety that is almost
unparalleled."
Other nominees for the "Best Pickup Truck of 2014" award
included the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Ram
2500/3500 and the Toyota Tundra.
"Three of the top five bestselling vehicles in the U.S. in 2013
were pickup trucks," said Mark
Williams, PickupTrucks.com editor. "It's become clear
that pickups are not just a construction tool any longer; truck
makers have figured out that truck buyers come in all shapes and
sizes and they want their vehicles to fit all of their needs. That
means pickup trucks now come in all shapes and sizes, as well,
packed with a huge variety of features and options--there's truly a
truck for every shopper nowadays. While the Silverado is our top
pick for 2014, we believe all of our nominees are great
options."
