Finding the right truck in Maine is a rite of passage. Whether you’re hauling equipment to a job site in Lewiston, towing a boat to Sebago Lake, or simply need a reliable partner to clear your driveway after a foot of snow, you need a vehicle that won’t flinch when the going gets tough.
At Emerson Chevrolet in Auburn, we have a deep appreciation for the trucks that keep our community moving. Right now, we are excited to showcase a standout in our pre-owned inventory: a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LT 4WD. Equipped with the legendary 5.3L V8 engine, this truck is the perfect blend of traditional power and modern capability.
The Icon: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 Performance
In an era where many manufacturers are moving toward smaller, turbocharged engines, there is still something to be said for the raw, dependable power of a naturally aspirated V8. This Silverado’s 5.3L engine is a workhorse that has powered more Maine winters than almost any other powertrain on the road.
Performance at a Glance:
- Horsepower: 355 hp @ 5,600 rpm
- Torque: 383 lb-ft @ 4,100 rpm
- Transmission: Smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic
- Towing: When properly equipped, this V8 can tow upwards of 9,500–11,000 lbs, making it more than capable of handling your camper, horse trailer, or flatbed.
What makes this engine truly special is its Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) system. Unlike older cylinder-deactivation systems that could only switch between 8 and 4 cylinders, DFM can operate in 17 different patterns. This means the truck constantly calculates exactly how much power is needed and can shut down cylinders in various combinations to maximize fuel efficiency without you ever feeling a transition. You get V8 strength when you need it and improved economy when you’re just cruising down the turnpike.
Built for Maine: The 4WD System and LT Trim
Living in Auburn, you know that "4WD" isn't an option—it’s a necessity. This Silverado features a true Four-Wheel Drive system with an Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case. This allows you to switch between 2WD for dry summer roads, "Auto" for variable conditions, and 4WD High or Low for when the trails get muddy or the roads turn to ice.
The LT Advantage
The LT trim is widely considered the "sweet spot" for truck owners. It offers a significant step up in style and comfort from the base work trucks while remaining rugged enough for actual labor.
- Exterior: Chrome bumpers, a chrome center grille bar, and body-color door handles give this truck a polished, professional look. LED reflector headlamps and signature daytime running lamps ensure you have maximum visibility during those dark, early-morning winter starts.
- Extended Cab (Double Cab) Versatility: The Double Cab configuration is the smart choice for the owner who needs a full-size bed (6.5 feet) but still wants the ability to carry extra passengers. The rear-seat area is spacious enough for tools, groceries, or the kids, while the standard bed length ensures you don't have to leave the tailgate down to fit your gear.
Tech and Comfort: Your Office on the Road
A truck today is often much more than a hauler; it's a mobile office and a family sanctuary. The 2020 Silverado LT was designed with this dual-purpose in mind.
Connectivity
The interior centers around the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen. It is fast, intuitive, and comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Whether you need turn-by-turn directions to a remote location or want to stream your favorite podcast during a long drive to the coast, your digital life is perfectly integrated.
Interior Amenities
Chevy’s designers focused on ergonomics for the 2020 refresh. You’ll find:
- Generous Storage: Massive door pockets, a spacious center console, and dual gloveboxes.
- Heated Elements: Many of our LT models come equipped with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel—features you will thank yourself for every morning from November through April.
- QuietTuning: Advanced sound-deadening materials ensure that even with a V8 under the hood and all-terrain tires on the pavement, the cabin remains a quiet place for a phone call or a conversation.
Utility: The Durabed Difference
The bed of this Silverado isn't just a box; it's the Durabed. Built with high-strength roll-formed steel, it is designed to be tougher and more durable than the competition.
Key Utility Features:
- CornerStep Rear Bumper: Oversized steps that make it easy to climb into the bed even while wearing heavy winter work boots.
- 12 Standard Tie-Downs: Twice as many as some competitors, each rated to handle 500 lbs.
- EZ Lift Tailgate: An internal torsion bar makes the tailgate easy to lift with one hand, and the power lock/release adds a layer of modern convenience.
