Some of the biggest changes with the newest Silverados can be found inside – and these changes are guaranteed to impress you. Discover what to expect from the 2015 Chevy Silverado, and how its latest makeover compares to the Silverado that came before it.

The 2015 Chevy Silverado vs. the 2014 Chevy Silverado

Exterior Features

As far as the outer appearance of the Silverado goes, there’s very little difference between the 2014 and 2015 models, other than a slightly different face on the latter. New sheet metal was introduced in 2014 and was carried over to the 2015 models. The tailgate and roof spoilers have been redesigned on the 2015 to encourage greater aerodynamics. The lowest level trim is fitted with 17-inch steel wheels; allow wheels are used on higher level trims. Other options to choose from include dual or single rear wheels, two different bed lengths and three different cab styles.

Interior Design

The interior of the 2014 and 2015 Silverado is where the wow factor really is. The upgrades that were made in 2014 are the basically same in 2015, and they are what has really ushered this truck into the modern era. While driving this brawny pickup, you’ll be surprised at how much the noise level in the cabin has been reduced. This was achieved with hydraulic mounts and triple-sealed inlaid doors. Previous models were stocked with hard, flat seats that have now been swapped for comfortable seats made from high-quality material.

The 2014’s center stack and dashboard revamp were also passed along in 2015, complete with a stylish eight-inch, user-friendly screen that features MyLink and IntelliLink. Power locks and windows, AM/FM stereo and cruise control are a few more of the standard features in the 2014 and 2015 Silverados. Higher trim levels come with features such as OnStar assistance, Bluetooth connectivity, Bose audio system, satellite radio, remote keyless entry and heated front seats.

Engine & Ride

A standard 2015 Silverado HD comes with the General Motor’s Vortec 6.0-liter V8 engine and boasts 360 horsepower. Standard 2014 models have 285 horsepower and a 4.3-liter V6 engine. Both the 2014 and 2015 trucks are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift option and, of course, the towing and hauling function.

That jarring, bouncing feeling so well associated with the ride of a truck has been significantly improved in the 2015 Silverado. The 2014 Silverado offers an even smoother ride, but that’s because it doesn’t come with hauling and towing prowess of the 2015. When tested, the 2015 has shown it can handle major hauls while maintaining the same speed, evening on upward climbs. For such a massive vehicle, the Silverado allows drivers a great sense of control. It can easily lug a fifth-wheel weighing up to 17,900 pounds or carry up to 3,760 pounds in the truck’s bed.

The 2015 Chevy Silverado has a close competitor in the Ford F-150, has always somehow managed to retain its position as one of the best-selling pickup trucks on the market. All-new for 2015, the F-150 boasts a large number of enhancements and compelling features, but the following comparison shows that the 2015 Silverado is still the full-size truck to choose.

2015 Chevy Silverado vs. Ford F-150 Exterior Features

GM designers have always done a spectacular job in giving the Chevy Silverado impressively handsome sheet metal and the most recent model is no different. The Silverado’s rugged, square-jawed looks and tasteful applications of chrome bright-work help create a sophisticated, buttoned-down appearance befitting of a successful full-size pickup

The 2015 F-150 offers a new body style, but it still lacks many of the exterior convenience features that make the Silverado such a great buy. These include the handy CornerStep rear bumper that makes loading cargo easier and integrated pocket hand grips for improved ingress into the cargo bed.

Interior Features

Both the F-150 and Silverado offer their share of high-level features. For pure luxury, the High Country trim matches similar offerings on the F-150. When it comes to usability, the advanced Chevy MyLink system offers an infotainment experience that’s a step above Ford’s competing offering. Each Silverado is also equipped with OnStar, offering drivers a complete suite of emergency, maintenance and concierge services at the push of a button.

Powertrain

Ford has already shaken the truck world with the introduction of its 365-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine in 2011. For 2015, the F-150 will receive a 2.7-liter version of the EcoBoost family that produces over 300 horsepower and claims to offer fuel efficiency that’s on par with or better than other V8 offerings.

However, Chevy offers a strong lineup of V6 and V8 engines that offer superior fuel economy and excellent performance. For instance, the 2014 Silverado’s 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 delivers an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in highway driving and 16 mpg in the city, matching both the performance and economy of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost while giving truck buyers a traditional V8 experience. For 2015, the Silverado will feature a new eight-speed transmission for better fuel economy as well as a diesel option – one that the upcoming F-150 still lacks.

Exterior Features

A number of outstanding exterior features help separate the 2015 Chevy Colorado from the rest of the pack. All season tires equipped with rugged alloy wheels look incredible and helps give drivers better control in virtually any weather condition. Stunning bumpers with a painted finish and privacy glass installed throughout the vehicle further gives the Colorado aesthetic appeal.

The first thing many will notice about the GMC Canyon is a chrome grill surrounding the truck. Drivers will also enjoy a very large truck bed with the option to have a spray-in liner applied. A CornerStep on the rear of the vehicle makes loading or unloading cargo easier as well.

Interior

In the interior of the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, the first thing many will notice is the 8-inch MyLink color touch-screen that gives drivers direct access to smartphone apps, Bluetooth, preset text messages, Pandora radio and more. Thanks to special features like triple-sealed doors and thick windows, cabin noise is drastically reduced, providing for a quiet, comfortable ride on the roughest terrain. Drivers will appreciate the option of having either leather or cloth seats that provide both front seats with plenty of leg room.

Electric power steering comes standard with the GMC Canyon along with a large center console that provides plenty of space for easy storage. Another interesting feature is the dual-density foam seats that provide an extra element of comfort on the road.

Safety

A myriad of essential and convenient safety features are built into the 2015 Chevy Colorado including daytime running lights, front fog lights, dusk sensing headlamps and an occupant sensing airbag system. Additional features worth mentioning include stability control, traction control, an engine immobilizer and an integrated post-collision safety system. There’s even a component built in to help track your vehicle if it is ever stolen.

The GMC Canyon provides some decent safety features including roadside assistance, forward collision alert and lane departure warning. Turn-by-turn navigation may also help drivers keep them focused on the road while an automatic crash response system and emergency services link are ready to respond should there ever be an accident.
Engine and Performance

The new Chevy Colorado is equipped with an impressive 2.5L or 3.6L V6 engine. A 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine is also expected to be an option for drivers who need unrivaled strength and towing capacity. Also, thanks to the Colorado’s off-road suspension system, this truck can handle just about anything. According to some estimates, this truck should be able to achieve a little more than 26 miles per gallon on the highway.

A 193-hp four-cylinder 2.5L engine, a 302-hp V-6 or a 2.8L Turbo-Diesel are all options with the GMC Canyon, all equipped with direct injection and variable valve time technology.

The Overall Winner

After reviewing all the features and components of both trucks, the 2015 Chevy Colorado is the clear choice. With the Colorado, you can rest assured that all the bases are covered in regards to safety, performance, comfort, luxury, convenience and overall reliability.
