2015 Chevrolet Silverado Could Be Your Town's Next Cop Car
2015 Chevrolet Silverado Could Be Your Town's Next Cop Car-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:26

GM's introducing a Special Service Vehicle variant of the 2015 for police use, so now you've got another headlight pattern to get paranoid about.

The Silverado SSV doesn't have any particularly insane ass-busting features like high-speed deployable spike strips or EMP launchers. And obviously, it's not quite as cool as the . A 170 amp alternator, big auxiliary battery, and extra switches to control all the gadgets cops love to get donut crumbs on are the main attractions.

Chevy's also making a "common key" option so police departments can operate all their GM products with the same key, so that's kinda neat.

Municipalities will be able to Silverado SSVs pre-fitted with other law enforcement gear they often get from the aftermarket:

Spotlamp – driver or driver and passengerWiring for grille, lamp and sirensFlasher system for headlamps and taillampsCommon key packageVinyl rear seatsFront center seat deleteAuxiliary dome lampElectronic four-wheel-drive switchDaytime running lamps delete

Rear-vision camera

The town I grew up in had a Ford F-150 crew cab when I was in high school, and I've seen plenty of Tahoes in New York State Police livery. But I can't remember ever seeing a GM pickup wearing The Shield. Are police trucks more common where you live?

Ram's Retort To GM's Towing Comparison Between The Big Three
Ram's Retort To GM's Towing Comparison Between The Big Three
It's an exciting time to be talking about trucks— every automaker is bending the throttle on innovation in the utility segment and it's all-out war to be king of every comparison. GM impressed me with their intelligent cruise control, but Ram's Nick Cappa wanted to address some things I might...

TONKA F-150: A Surprisingly Well-Executed Appeal To Your Inner Child
TONKA F-150: A Surprisingly Well-Executed Appeal To Your Inner Child
The bright-yellow F-150 emblazoned with TONKA logos at the Chicago Auto Show was hard to miss, even though it was wedged behind Ford's main display in the commercial truck section. The style's not for everybody, but the build quality was impressive. The truck's made by a company called Tuscany, which...

2015 Silverado & Sierra 2500 HD 4WD Crew Cab: The Truck Yeah! Review
2015 Silverado & Sierra 2500 HD 4WD Crew Cab: The Truck Yeah! Review
GM was officially first to launch a 2015 heavy duty pickup, and it doesn't suck. The redesigned 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 and 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are not without fault, but they offer a significantly better towing experience than what the rest of the segment can offer. For now. The...

No Aluminium For F-250, No Diesel For F-150
No Aluminium For F-250, No Diesel For F-150
Ford confirmed that the exterior styling and construction materials will remain unchanged for the 2015 F-250 Super Duty, and adamantly maintained that there is no diesel F-150 on the horizon. At least, not yet. The biggest change we'll see in the 2015 Ford F-250 will be in the turbo setup...
