No one probably beats the Americans in terms of patriotic sentiment. And the country's brands fight to offer their vehicles to the security forces. This Chevrolet Silverado PPV becomes the new American police pick-up.
It's the first time Chevrolet has offered the Silverado to law enforcement. Throughout history, various models of the brand have served the body, such as the Caprice, the Impala or the Tahoe, but never the famous pick-up.
The acronym PPV refers to Police Pursuit Vehicle, a declaration of intent about the functions that the Chevrolet Silverado will perform.
The police Silverado has received some modifications. It is based on the Short Bed Crew Cab model, but has been fitted with a Z71 package that improves suspension, as well as an underbody skid plate and locking differential.
Likewise, Chevrolet has incorporated a five-centimeter lift that allows it to reach a ground clearance of 29 centimeters, which allows it to increase the angle of attack up to 25.9 centimeters.
Mechanically, the Silverado PPV is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produces 355 hp and 520 Nm of torque, distributed between all four wheels, through a ten-speed automatic gearbox.
It includes Tahoe PPV wheels wrapped in specific off-road tires for high-speed driving, Brembo brakes and a towing capacity of 4,300 kilos.
The Chevrolet Silverado PPV includes a series of added details to become a police vehicle, such as the siren and emergency lights, an interior and exterior lighting system, LED lights or Chevy Silverado 1500 custom led headlights and it dispenses with the front center seat.
Another section that has been specially taken care of is security. Thus, the police Silverado has the Chevrolet Safety Assist system with all the ADAS systems that equip the brand's models.
All the modifications made have followed the instructions of the members of the police and the team of engineers of the North American company.
