Chevrolet Adds A Pursuit Rated Silverado for Law Enforcement

Your local Chevrolet dealer may have just gotten a little cooler. Chevrolet just debuted its first Silverado that is rated for pursuit. This pursuit truck is unlike anything else available at your favorite Chevrolet dealer but has some familiar elements we already know and love.

The new Silverado Police Pursuit Vehicle comes as a crew cab with a short-bed and four-wheel-drive. It was designed to take on high speeds without sacrificing comfort and storage space. This Silverado comes after a quarter-century of success from the Chevy Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV).

Check Out These Specs

To ensure that the Silverado PPV is fully capable of meeting the demands of police work, this truck comes fully loaded. It starts with a 5.3-liter V8 engine that is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission to create 355 horsepower. Throw in updated Brembo Brakes and a heavy-duty air filter for good measure.

To ensure that this truck can handle high-speed pursuits, the Silverado PPV is equipped with a certified speedometer and 20-inch wheels featuring 20-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires rated for high speeds. When these trucks aren’t in a high pursuit situation, they are excellent at hauling trailers with a 9,300-pound max towing capacity, perfect for marine and mounted divisions.

For work that takes place off of the pavement, the Silverado PPV is loaded with the Silverado’s Z71 Off-Road Package: Rancho shocks, a locking rear differential, and a skid plate. These trucks can also be lifted up to two inches, offering a best-in-class 11.35-inches of ground clearance.

The Silverado PPV is comfortable and practical. It comes with a 220-amp alternator and two 120-volt outlets that keep the various digital devices charged and ready to go. Officers will also enjoy the power cloth seats that allow them to quickly and easily adjust the seat to their needs.
