Don\u2019t look now, but that Chevrolet pickup behind you may be a police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chevrolet announced Wednesday the debut of the its first pursuit-rated Silverado, joining the Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle that the company has produced for 25 years. The 2023 Silverado Police Pursuit Vehicle is based on the crew-cab, short-bed, four-wheel drive truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur 25 years of engineering Tahoe police pursuit vehicles coupled with Chevrolet\u2019s 100 years of truck success, puts us in a great position to deliver a truly capable Silverado PPV,\u201d said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president of GM Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police pickup trucks my seem odd, but they provide all-weather capability, lots of room for cop gear and sufficient space for perps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Silverado PPV is a natural extension of Chevrolet\u2019s law enforcement offerings given it shares its mechanicals with the Tahoe, a vehicle used by police departments for the past 25 years. But in recent years, it has been the sole offering even as Dodge offers the Charger sedan and Durango SUV police vehicles, and Ford offers the Explorer, F-150<\/a><\/strong> and, since September, the Mustang Mach-E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
