2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Crew Cab 4×4 LTZ

Ready for serious hauling duty.

It's strange to jump into a heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado after coming out of a long weekend in a Mazda Miata. Even if I hadn't just spent the previous four nights in one of the smallest cars this side of a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, driving a heavy-duty pickup requires a separate mindset from our day-to-day evaluations of sedans, crossovers, and SUVs. A heavy-duty truck can't be judged on the same standards for ride quality, handling, and passing acceleration. In top-spec trim with a crew cab and a long bed, the Silverado HD measures in at 259.1 inches long--or more than 21 feet. To truly evaluate a heavy-duty truck, you need to push it towards its limits with 5906 pounds of payload or a 13,200-pound trailer. Having just one night with the Silverado HD 3500, I didn't have a chance to load it up with anything more than a tandem bike, which was easily swallowed by the swimming-pool-sized bed.

2011 Nissan Leaf - Fine For The Long(er) Runs - Automobile Magazine
WEEK SIX: June 20-27, 2011

With apologies to Dr. Seuss, would I, could I live with an electric vehicle? The length of my commute (20-30 miles) plus my leadfoot driving style suggests the answer is no, but I'm not convinced. Despite some of my colleagues -- many of whom live far closer to Automobile HQ than I -- exhibiting some tinges of the dreaded range anxiety, I sign on to shepherd our Leaf for a full seven days.
