2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

This highly competitive segment ended up with the Chevrolet Silverado in the winner’s circle as Vincentric’s Best Value in America, with its sister vehicle, the GMC Sierra, close behind.  The newly redesigned Ford F-150 also did well, but wasn’t able to overcome the strength of the two General Motors products.
