Chevrolet (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/) is playing around with the buzz machine for its upcoming 2014 Silverado (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/silverado/); showing off just one "spy shot" along with a short press release (http://motorgen.com/2012/10/01/2014-chevrolet-silverado-spied-our-best-look-yet/#continued) about the pickup, both on its own media website and on its Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151121213721961&set=pb.102279051960.-2207520000.1349124289&type=1&theater). That's cute and all, but while General Motors is trying to up its social media cred, hard-working spy photographers are bringing in a truckload of more detailed Silverado images.
Here we see the pickup with almost all of its heavy black camouflage removed, relative to the last time we spotted it (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/07/24/2014-chevy-silverado-redesign-caught-with-new-interior-exposed/), and in what seems to be close-to-production form. The 2014 model is, in all fairness, shaped an awful lot like the current truck. But, in a segment where form is very much based on function and where smaller details set models apart, that is to be expected.
Under the hood there could be a lot of change for the new Silverado, however. A fifth-generation small block V8 engine is said to be the primary powerplant, with an aluminum head, direct injection and cylinder deactivation all probable. Meanwhile, a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 could also be brewing as a direct answer for Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) and its EcoBoost F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/).
