"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."

"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."
