Laporan Wartawan Tribunnews.com Reza Gunadha
TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA - Aksi salah tangkap dan kesadisan cara aparat kepolisian saat menginterogasi, kembali terungkap.
Kejadian terbaru, Achmad Khusaeri, warga Kabupaten Pasuruan, Jawa Timur, menjadi korban salah tangkap yang dilakukan anggota kepolisian setempat. Dia bahkan menjadi korban kekerasan dan kekejaman polisi.
Kepala Urusan (Kaur) Dusun Benculuk Kulon, Desa Cuban Joyo, Kecamatan Kejayan, Pasuruan itu ditangkap oleh 15 anggota Polres Pasuruan yang berpakaian preman, Senin (20/1/2013) tanpa alasan dan surat penangkapan.
Ironisnya, kurang dari 24 jam dari penangkapan itu, sang korban dipulangkan kepada keluarganya sudah menjadi mayat.
"Suami saya (Khusaeri) dituduh menjadi dalang perampokan di desa tetangga. Dia dijemput 15 polisi berpakaian preman. Besoknya, dia dipulangkan sudah menjadi mayat," kata Su'udah, istri Khusaeri di Redaksi Kompas TV Jakarta, Kamis (20/3/2014).
Su'udah menceritakan, sang suami "dijemput" oleh 15 polisi berpakaian preman pada Senin malam, sekitar pukul 22.30 WIB.
Khusaeri, diambil secara paksa oleh belasan polisi tersebut tanpa menunjukkan surat perintah penahanan.
Bahkan, kata Su'udah, suaminya sempat dipukuli dan diseret oleh polisi sebelum dimasukkan ke dalam mobil.
"Kata polisi malam itu, 'kamu ingat muka saya, silakan tuntut polisi, kami tidak takut'. Saya tak sendiri ketika itu, tapi ada saksi lain," tuturnya, menirukan perkataan seorang dari 15 polisi tersebut.
Keesokannya, Selasa (21/3/2014) menjelang magrib, polisi memulangkan suaminya memakai ambulans RS Bhayangkara, tapi dalam kondisi sudah menjadi mayat.
"Dia meninggal ditembak di tulang rusuk belakang bagian kanan yang tembus hingga dada bagian kiri depan. Betis kaki kanannya juga ditembak. Wajahnya juga babak belur dipukuli," terangnya.
Padahal, Su'udah berani memastikan, Khusaeri tak terlibat perampokan seperti yang dituduhkan tersebut. Ia juga meyakini, sang suami tak pernah terlibat kejahatan apa pun.
Selain menjadi aparat desa, kata dia, suaminya bekerja sebagai petugas keamanan (satpam) untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari.
"Saya sudah mengadukan hal ini ke Polres Pasuruan, dan Propam Polda Jawa Timur. Tapi hingga kini, tidak ada tindaklanjutnya. Karenanya, saya beserta keluarga memutuskan untuk mengadu ke Mabes Polri," tuturnya.

BOROBUDUR, PRAMBANAN & RATU BOKO

BOROBUDUR, PRAMBANAN & RATU BOKO




THE EXTRAORDINARY CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CENTRAL JAVA
A lush tropical landscape dotted with hundreds of archeological temples, including two UNESCO world heritage sites, Borobudur and Prambanan, this is a destination that leaves you spellbound. The grandeur and complexity of the temples has to be seen to be believed, and photography struggles to convey the depth.
At a time when Europe was still in the dark ages, the “Central Javanese Period“ was building religious structures and art, now recognised as being the oldest and highest level of art within South East Asia

Central Javanese spirituality and artistic endeavour continues to exist side by side with mundanities of every day life.




A BRIEF HISTORY
At the time in which these monuments were built, Indian pilgrims had spread Buddhist and Hindu teachings spread across Java, Indonesia. The proud ruling dynasties of Central Java built a seemingly endless number of structures, of all scales.
Buddhist and Hindu religions lived harmoniously side by side across Java, and as families of different religions married, even mixed religion temples were built.
The adaption of Indian religion and customs with the local artistry and traditions bred its own unique style; “Hindu-Java Art” .
Around 920 the power shifted from Central Java to West Java and the monuments including Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko became neglected, exposed to ash from volcanic eruptions, and the ravages of the local vegetation.
Now restoration sees these world relevant sites back on the map with millions of people visiting each year.


ORIENT ME!
Java is the most populous island in Indonesia, South East Asia. This is land is densely populated, and the majority of people now practice Islam.
Prambanan, Borobudur and Ratu Boko are close to the major centre of Yogyakarta, also referred to by locals as Jogja. Yogyakarta has a population of approximately 4 million people.
Not too far away are two other interesting cities, both with international airports. Solo, and Semarang, where some people also choose to stay.


Access to the area is easy by plane, train, or buses. Once in the region, given the driving conditions, it is recommended you hire one of the many local drivers rather than rent your own vehicle. For to-the-minute information on travel and hiring a driver, our friendly Visitor Assistance Centre can help.
BY CAR FROM YOGYAKARTA:
Prambanan is around 30 minutes drive
Borobudur is approximately 40 minutes away
Ratu Boko is close to 35 minutes drive

Peugeot "Singa Perancis" Kembali ke Reli Dakar

Peugeot "Singa Perancis" Kembali ke Reli Dakar

Peugeot 405 T16 Paris Dakar

Paris, KompasOtomotif — Setelah 25 tahun absen, mulai 2015, Peugeot menyatakan untuk kembali berlaga di balapan "terganas", Reli Dakar. Informasi yang tersaji masih terbatas. Namun, surat kabar Perancis, l'Equipe, melaporkan bahwa unit tempur yang akan turun nanti disponsori oleh Red Bull.
Seusai melebur dengan pabrikan China, Dongfeng Motors, dan Pemerintah Perancis; Peugeot menganggap bahwa ajang balap akan menjadi langkah yang rasional untuk memajukan kembali citra internasional mereka, tanpa menghabiskan banyak biaya.
Kelas yang dituju masih dipertimbangkan, menunggu keputusan pemilihan varian yang akan dimodifikasi agar layak digeber hingga 900 km per hari, selama lebih dari sepekan.
Peugeot punya kiprah mengesankan di Reli Dakar (dulu disebut Paris-Dakar) pada akhir 1980-an sampai akhirnya FIA melarang mobil peserta di Grup B bertanding di World Rally Championship (WRC).

Saat itu, 205 T16 berhasil memenangi balapan pada 1987 dan 1988, kemudian 405 T16 merengkuh peringkat pertama pada 1989 dan 1990.

The Chevrolet Colorado and its twin, the GMC Canyon, were jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu. Isuzu, which participated in the design process, began selling its own version worldwide in 2002. In late 2005, Isuzu offered a version in North America called the "i-Series". This North American model Isuzu shared North American powertrains, styling, and equipment with the Colorado/Canyon twins and differed from Isuzu's worldwide offering. All Chevrolet, GMC, and Isuzu versions worldwide are based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3. Most vehicles for markets outside North America are manufactured at a GM plant in Rayong, Thailand, as well as at a GM plant in São José dos Campos, Brazil. Most North American-market vehicles were manufactured in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Colorado/Canyon offer both manual and automatic transmissions. GM also offers either a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive drivetrain with standard, extended, and four-door crew cab body styles. Most models come with the 2.8 L (171 cu in) LK5 I4 engine as standard, but a more powerful 3.5 I5 comes with the Z71 package on four-door versions and is optional on all others. The 4-door Z71s also get the 4-speed automatic transmission standard. This package was later dropped in favor of LT2 and LT3.
A ZQ8 edition is available with a lower and more road-tuned "sport" suspension than the standard Z85 and comes with 17 inch wheels, color-matched bumper and grille, and low profile fender flares. There is also a Xtreme edition of the ZQ8 which has a different front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fender flares, grille, headlights, and 18 inch wheels. The Xtreme edition is basically a continuation of a trim package from its predecessor, the Chevrolet S-10.
For 2007, Colorado/Canyon was facelifted and offered new engines, which include the 2.9 L (177 cu in) LLV I4 and 3.7 L (226 cu in) LLR I5 which were both introduced due to numerous head problems, new colors — Deep Ruby (Sonoma Red for the Canyon), Pace Blue (Sport Blue for the Canyon) and Imperial Blue (Midnight Blue for the Canyon), and new tires and wheels. Minor changes to the grille and interior for the LT and LTZ models; the LS models kept the same pre-facelift look, similar to the facelift of the TrailBlazer in 2005 & 2006. In addition, the "Colorado" & "Canyon" badges were phased out from the doors in favour of GM's corporate logo. For model year 2009, the Colorado was facelifted again and a 5.3 L (323 cu in) LH8 V8 is offered, producing 300 hp (224 kW) and 320 lb·ft (434 N·m). For the 2010 model year, the GM badges were phased out from those trucks,[2] although fewer 2010 models had the GM logo on the doors.
Colorado/Canyon U.S. sales peaked in 2005 at 163,204 units, surpassing the perennial segment leader, the Ford Ranger, by almost 35% and just 3.3% behind the new best-seller, the Toyota Tacoma. In 2006, however, while still leading the Ford pickup by 27.5%, Colorado/Canyon's sales lagged their Toyota competitor's by almost 34%. One 2005 Canyon owned by successful U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown became famous as it was widely featured in his TV advertisements.[3]

The second-generation Colorado was shown at the 2011 Bangkok Motor Show, and was originally planned to be sold in the United States.[26] The U.S. spec model will now carry a different front end, with its design being based instead on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, and new engines. For the initial launch, Chevrolet will offer a choice of a 2.5L I-4 and LFX DOHC 3.6L V6. A 2.8L diesel will be added in 2015, a first for its class in the US market. The 2015 U.S.-spec model was revealed on November 20, 2013 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and will be available for sale in early 2014.[27]

Holden Colorado 7


Holden Colorado 7 LTZ rear
Launched in late 2012 the Holden Colorado 7 is based on the same under pinnings as the regular Colorado, however bodywork from the A-pillar back is entirely different. Instead the Colorado 7 takes on the form of a large SUV with an enclosed roof, tailgate and 7-seats. The Colorado 7 is powered by the same VM Motori 2.8L Turbo Diesel engine and unlike the Colorado the rear suspension is a five-link system connected to coil springs but retains the live axle.[31]
The range consists of two trim levels; LT and LTZ. Standard equipment for all Colorado 7s includes cruise control, body-coloured bumpers, side steps, front fog lights, aluminium roof rails, rear parking sensors (in addition to the rear camera), Bluetooth phone connectivity, USB input, roof mounted climate control vents for second and third rows and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with multifunction controls. The LTZ adds 18-inch wheels, projector headlights, exterior chrome highlights, leather seats, a premium sounds system, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, higher grade interior trim elements and LED tail-lights.[31]
Chevrolet has discussed re-introducing the Colorado 7 as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which is already on sale in other markets globally into the North American market, though no definite plans have been made, and it has not yet been formally announced.

U.S. Market 2015 Chevrolet Colorado

In November, 2013, Chevrolet announced that it would be producing a successor to the previous-generation Colorado, which would bear the same name as its predecessor. The Colorado would go on sale after being on hiatus since 2012.
According to the information on Chevrolet's website, the all-new 2015 Colorado will come in three cab configurations (extended cab with a 6.2-ft box, crew cab with a 5.2-ft box, or crew cab with a 6.2-ft box, and in three models; the W/T (Work Truck), the LT, and the Z/71 (based on the LT model).
Sixteen-inch or seventeen-inch steel wheels or alloy wheels will be available, and a Decor Package for the W/T model will add a chrome front grille and front fascia and body-colored door handles and side view mirrors.
All 2015 Colorados at the start of production will include General Motors' 3.6L Direct Injection V6 engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive, though a diesel engine that is turbocharged will be available by 2015.
The all-new Colorado will start production in the United States in 2014, with inventory arriving at Chevrolet dealerships nationwide by mid-late 2014, as an early 2015 model year vehicle. It will compete with other midsized pickup truck offerings, such as the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma.

U.S. Market 2015 GMC Canyon

On January 12, 2014, GMC introduced the new GMC Canyon in an official press and video release and made its public debut the following day (January 13, 2014) at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, with sales to begin at GMC dealerships in the second quarter of 2014 as a 2015 model.
The Canyon will offer the same features as its cousin, but will have a higher MSRP and more options. It also sports the same GMC front grille design with styling that closely resembles its full size siblings GMC Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, except that they are smaller with a different treatment and lower fascia. Two alumunum-block engines, a standard 2.5-liter inline-four with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and a 3.6-liter V6 is available with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft., will be offered. The 2015 Canyon will come in three trims and 2WD and 4WD drivetrain options, although the base model will only come in a 2WD, six-speed manual, 2.5L engine trim.
The added and optional interior features (based on trim) will include active aero grille shutters, available OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with on-board wifi, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and an available Teen Driver feature that limits speed and audio volume

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1LZ 4x4 Crew Cab

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1LZ 4x4 Crew Cab 5.75 ft. box 143.5 in. WB Overview


Redesigned for 2014, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500's bold new exterior houses one of three all-new EcoTec3 engines, a fully updated cabin with available MyLink connectivity and other features designed for the most discerning truck owners. Silverado's exterior design blends strong Chevy truck heritage with a refined, modern aesthetic. The new design is more muscular, functional and aerodynamic. The CornerStep bumper, combined with handholds built into the new box rail protectors, makes it easier to access the box.
Regular cabs are available with the 6-foot, 6-inch or 8-foot box lengths, while the extended cab will come exclusively with a 6-foot, 6-inch box. Crew Cab customers can choose between two bed lengths; in addition to the current 5-foot, 8-inch box, a new 6-foot, 6-inch box is available. Updates to the body and chassis are designed to improve ride and handling, comfort and capability. The Silverado 1500's engine range is updated for 2014 with the goal of increased in power, torque and fuel efficiency across the board. Each of the available EcoTec3 4.3-liter V6, a 5.3-liter V8 and a 6.2-liter V8 engines features direct injection and Active Fuel Management, which means they seamlessly switch to run on four cylinders during light-load driving to save fuel.
For owners whose work or recreation takes them off road, the Z71 trim includes Rancho shocks, front tow hooks, a transfer case skid plate unique 18- or 20-inch all-terrain tire, Hill Descent Control and a automatic locking rear differential. Available MyLink connectivity uses an available high-definition, fully reconfigurable eight-inch color touchscreen. Heated seats are available with cloth seats and standard with leather. Available LED cargo lights integrated beneath the bed rails will illuminate the bed when a tonneau cover is in place. The available EZ Lift and Lower tailgate uses an integrated torsion bar and damper to ease lifting and lowering. Paired with Forward Collision Alert and Land Departure Warning is Driver Alert Seat, which generates vibrating pulse patterns on the left and/or right side of the lower seat cushion bolster to alert the driver of potential dangers, such as an un-signaled lane change or approaching another vehicle too quickly. Other new features include available front Park Assist, in addition to the rear Park Assist already available, and a sliding rear window with a defroster.

All-new Silverado aims for high country.


Introduction

The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is the next generation of Chevrolet's best-selling vehicle. Although some things look and sound familiar, like the three engines that are all-new despite being the same size as their predecessors, virtually everything has evolved to the next level or been replaced.
Substantial bodywork and a larger grille for cooling match a more imposing facade with better aerodynamic properties, while the frame underneath the 2014 Silverado has been stiffened despite a 30-pound weight loss. By most measures, the 2014 Silverado is lighter than the 2013 model, but it hauls and tows more than before.
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado comes with a roomier cabin with more luxury and safety features in a stylish new design. There's more room up front, and 2014 Silverado Crew Cabs offer more space in back than previously. The driver gets excellent instrumentation and MyLink telematics.
Silverado base price is $23,590, according to Chevrolet, but that's almost a meaningless number because anything you buy will cost more.
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country model is the fanciest Silverado to date. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country is directed at Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram Longhorn, Toyota and Tundra 1794.
For the first time, the mid-size cab choice comes with a center side pillar and four conventionally opening doors. This generally improves rollover crash performance, makes a quieter, less squeak-prone interior and is easier to load in tight quarters. Chevrolet has dropped the Extended Cab moniker and calls this the Double Cab, the name Toyota has used on its four-door pickups for more than a decade.
The three new engines are dubbed EcoTec3 because of three shared features: direct injection, active fuel management and variable cam timing. Often reserved for the thirstiest or most expensive engines on some trucks, these come standard on every 2014 Silverado.
The new 4.3-liter V6 is standard on every cab/bed combo. At 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque it rates just 30 less (of each) than last year's 5.3-liter V8 and out-grunts most competitor base V6s.
The new 5.3-liter V8 is rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. That's right in line with Ford's 5-liter V8, and 2014 Silverado Crew Cabs with the 5.3-liter V8 match or better competitors for top payload and towing ratings. Figures for the 6.2-liter V8 had not been released at press time but were expected to bring at least 420 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque.
All Silverados come with a 6-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD).
Suspension and braking systems are updates on current designs; external dimensions haven't changed but the track (width between left and right wheels) has increased aiding both stability and aesthetics. The 2014 Silverado uses electric power steering.
The new Silverado drives like a more refined version of the last one, even though it will tow more, go quicker or get better mileage. A very quiet cabin means happier passengers and less fatigue for owner/operators, with the Double Cab likely to show the most improvement.
The only thing we see lacking in the new Silverado is that elusive intangible that grabs people. Chasing power and fuel economy Chevrolet used different technologies than Ford's EcoBoost (though GM's direct-injection turbocharged car engines preceded EcoBoost by years). And the new Silverado doesn't offer the flashy 8-speed automatic or optional air suspension of the Ram. But trucks are made for people and to tow and carry things, and if the numbers are accurate the Silverado is a player.

The 2014 Silverado offers a choice of three cab configurations and five wheelbases with different-length beds: Regular cab with standard (6-foot, 6-inch) bed or long (8-foot) bed, Double Cab with standard bed, and Crew Cab with standard or short (5-foot, 8-inch) bed. All come standard with the 4.3-liter V6, 6-speed automatic and rear- or four-wheel drive. The 5.3-liter V8 is optional on all cabs. The 6.2-liter V8 is available on Double Cab and Crew Cab models.
Silverado WT is the base work truck ($23,590). It comes with a 40/20/40 bench front seat, rubber/vinyl floor, black exterior trim, power locks and windows, cruise control, 3.5-inch info screen, corner step rear bumper, 17-inch steel wheels, six-speaker stereo, 2 USB ports, aux input and SD card slot. 2WT models add on MyLink infotainment with 4.2-inch screen, Bluetooth, CD/MP3/Sirius XM/HD radio, OnStar with six months' Directions & Connections, remote keyless entry, chrome bumpers and heated power mirrors. Silverado Crew Cab 1WT ($32,710) and 2WT ($34,764) are similarly equipped.
Silverado Crew Cab LT ($35,260) upgrades to a cloth 40/20/40 front seat with locking storage underneath, leather-wrap steering wheel with audio controls, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and EZ-lift and lower tailgate.
Silverado Crew Cab LT Z71 ($36,850) adds off-road suspension calibration with Rancho monotube shocks, hill-descent control, all-terrain tires, locking rear differential, skid plate, fog lamps, tow hooks, and a Z71 appearance package. Silverado Crew Cab LT Z71 4WD ($40,525) adds four-wheel drive; as with other models, it's also available with the standard-length bed ($44,460) instead of the short bed.
Silverado Crew Cab LTZ ($40,230) comes standard with V8, leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, MyLink with 8-inch color touch-screen, remote start, power front seats, fog lamps, 18-inch aluminum wheels, chrome door handles and mirrors, 110-VAC outlet, power sliding rear window and rearview camera. Silverado Crew Cab LTZ Z71 ($40,910) adds the Z71 equipment. As with the other trim levels, Silverado Crew Cab LT Z71 4WD ($44,160) adds four-wheel drive.
Silverado High Country adds more chrome, unique grille and 20-inch wheels, body color bumpers, exclusive saddle brown interior with perforated, piped leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, wood trim, Bose premium sound system and front and rear park assist. Navigation is optional.
Optional equipment is extensive, often progressive (require this, must order that, etc.) and model-limited. A few examples: tri-coat white metallic paint ($995), integrated trailer brake controller ($230), 5.3-liter V8 ($895), locking differential ($395), upgrade wheels in tires in 17, 18 and 20-inch sizes, in-bed LED lighting ($60), leather ($1,095), towing package, snow-plow package, navigation, moonroof. A choice of rear axle ratios is available, including 3.08 and 3.42.
Safety features on all Silverado models include dual front airbags, front side airbags, side-curtain airbags, and electronic stability control with trailer sway control. Options include park assist, rearview camera, forward collision and lane departure warnings.

Walkaround

Teasing the bigger-is-better trend, the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado looks bigger than the last one but is virtually identical in exterior dimensions; for example, it is one-tenth of an inch wider. The most obvious changes are up front and the rear doors.
A taller grille, with more chrome as price rises, and revised bumper allow more powertrain cooling, but with fewer pieces and tighter fits, more aerodynamic than before. The windshield lays back another degree and fairs into the roof such that frontal area, the other component of aerodynamic resistance, is no larger than last year's.
The new styling will sit well with conservative pickup buyers. The new Silverado is instantly identifiable as a Chevy even if not wearing the big badge. At least one observer initially thought the 2013 Silverado next to it was just a different trim level.
Massive rectangular wheel openings consume the majority of the bed side panels and reinforce the GM impression; wider wheels help fill them, but there's still a lot of open space around the tires. In profile, the bed section is almost military in its geometric execution.
The B-pillar, the post between the front and rear doors, has been moved forward four inches. This may have negative implications only for tall, very broad shouldered types, but is outweighed by the superior access through the rear door, especially for boots or big toolboxes headed for the floor.
On most models the rear bumper sports a step in each corner and a corresponding handhold in the side rail for easier bed entry. High Country's painted bumper loses it, but a chrome step bumper is available. Most versions offer LEDs under the side rails of the bed, activated by the shower-head bed light switch, for illumination beneath bed covers. And many have a tailgate damped for both up and down motion, a feature you'll really appreciate when you remove the gate for something and find what it really weighs.
Outside mirrors have slightly less area but you won't notice; you will like the built-in convex mirror on the driver-side. A towing mirror option will be available but was not seen nor evaluated.
Myriad trims, chrome packages, three wheel diameters, 10 tire choices and plenty of stickers yield many appearance permutations, even before adding accessories. One of our sample trucks listed a chrome exhaust tip at $185; for that amount we'd expect polished stainless steel.
Bigger-and-better has been applied to badging, too, with enough large-scale bow-ties and nameplates you might have to downsize your magnetic business signs so they still fit and stick.
It's worth noting that 4WD versions are about the same roof height as 2WD because some other 4WD pickups are inches higher and may not fit the parking garages you frequent.


Interior

The 2014 Silverado cabin is comfortable, quiet and can be packed with enough features and USB plugs for each passenger to have one. The only parts that might have been pulled straight from the 2103 are the shift lever and some door switches.
A big, more segmented dashboard dominates the cab like never before. Outboard of the AC vent left is a switch panel convenient if you rest your arm on the door. Switches for trailer brakes are at the top, ideal for adjusting while you watch for locked wheels in the mirror. On 4WD models, near-identical round knobs for are used for selecting 2WD/4WD or turning on the headlights. Be sure you grab the correct one if you don't use Auto for both.
Inboard is a steering wheel slightly canted and off center for crashworthiness. It tilts on all, telescopes on some, but each function uses a separate lever and isn't easily done in one fluid motion. One observer noted that the big outboard switch panel feels like it crowds the wheel and gauges against the center, but that looks worse in pictures than from the seat.
Instrumentation is very good. After a sleepy, multi-seconds gauge-check sweep the numbered, analog displays swing to life and respond quickly; watch the oil pressure carefully and you'll feel these are indeed connected to something. The tach has no redline but neither the 4.3 nor 5.3 went beyond 5550 on their own, and the 140-mph speedometer is likely 25-40 beyond a tire-imposed electronic limit. Transmission fluid temperature and fuel economy are among the broad data available in the screen under the smaller gauges.
The central panel requires nearly a third of the real estate, logically laid out with vents, touchscreen, audio and climate controls. The MyLink infotainment navigation system maps well, the Bose stereo system sounds good, and we didn't sample voice operation given limited cell service. As with any telematics the MyLink should be tried thoroughly, while parked at first then moving (some functions will disable in motion), to see if you prefer all those features or simply your smartphone paired via Bluetooth.
Accessory switches (pedals, bed light, park sense, etc.) are along the bottom and symmetrically laid out. There are no blank spaces to either show you didn't get something or to fit your own aftermarket switches.
Dual gloveboxes cover the right third of the dash. Doors have up to three storage locations in each, and the center console has a variety of shapes and sizes, if not one big cooler-size bin. The top-line full-length console has in total five USB ports, three 12-volt power points, an SD card slot and a grounded 110-VAC outlet, with another in the back optional. Taller drivers found the trim panels on the console and door inconveniently at knee height, while other sizes found the center armrest too high even with the seat at full height.
The 40/20/40 front bench seat option has good storage in the fold-down backrest-becomes-armrest, with more storage space beneath the seat cushion. With minimal padding and no shoulder belt it works better as console than seat.
Front seats are very comfortable and easy to climb into (front grab handles are mounted to steel structure). The rear seat on Extended cab models will carry adults in a pinch, better if all on board are average stature or smaller. Crew cab rear seats rival the front for comfort except the headrests wouldn't keep even a 5-foot, 9-inch rider's head off the rear window. There is no center headrest, and LATCH anchors will fit up to two child seats in any of the three seating positions.
You can now get heated seats on cloth upholstery models. High Country leather is heated and cooled in front. Heated steering wheels wisely have the switch in plain sight on the spoke, not buried on the column or in a touchscreen menu.
Outward visibility is slightly less than before because the windshield pillars appear wider and to a lesser extent the windshield top feels lower relative seating position. However, the edges of the hood are better defined and new options mitigate other aspects.
Silverado now offers forward collision warning, lane departure warning and the seat-vibration alert introduced by Cadillac last year. How and when you're alerted can be adjusted and turned off, handy since our trail drive at less than 10 mph buzzed our jeans every time the truck sensed a collision with a deep rut, rock, or bush in our path.


Driving Impression

The new 2014 Chevy Silverado drives and does pickup chores well. We think it has the most realistic base engine in the business, a new 4.3-liter V6.
As a competitor ad points out torque is what gets the job done in pickups. The new 4.3-liter V6's 305 pound-feet is more than Ford's 3.7-liter (278 lb-ft), Ram's 3.6-liter (269 lb-ft), or Toyota's 4-liter (278 lb-ft). And the Silverado's 4.3-liter gives up no more than 20 hp to Ford or Ram's high-revving V6s. Ram's 8-speed gearbox helps with torque multiplication and highway mileage. Chevy 4.3-liter estimates weren't available at posting, but considering Chevy's 5.3-liter V8 ratings (16/23 mpg for 2WD) nearly match Ford's 3.7-liter V6 (17/23 mpg 2WD) and Ram's 3.6-liter (17/25 mpg SLT 2WD) your load and driving style will have far more effect on fuel economy than which brand you choose.
The 2014 Silverado's 4.3-liter V6 pulled a dual-axle travel trailer for us with no problem, whether or not we engaged Tow/Haul. It revs to just 5500 rpm, at least 1000 less than the Ford or Ram, generating less noise and vibration. We were pleasantly surprised by the very quiet, smooth idle at just 500 rpm, a lower speed than the V8. Not towing, on an undulating course with traffic, we managed almost 18 mpg in the V6, not a bad number given locale and driving style.
The new 5.3-liter V8 makes the Silverado faster, of course, and its shorter gearing enables top trailer ratings to 11,500 pounds. The V8 doesn't have an obvious advantage in smoothness over the V6. Both engines will switch to four-cylinder operation unnoticed (unless you watch the dash carefully) when power isn't needed, and since 2/3 of the V6 is a bigger engine than 1/2 of the V8, the V6 appears to run as a four more often. Were the 4.3 offered with the same axle ratios as the V8 we'd recommend it even more, and unless you're towing more than 5000 pounds frequently through hilly terrain the V6 will be more than adequate. If you don't think so, we'll remind you a Chevy dually with a 7.4-liter V8 less than 25 years ago had only 230 horsepower. It had 80 lb-ft more torque, but just half the gears so less torque got to the wheels.
Both 4.3 and 5.3 are E85-capable, but fuel economy with E85 ethanol drops about 30 percent over gasoline. The 6.2-liter V8 requires Premium fuel.
Silverado ranks well on maximum payload figures, with more than a ton of capacity on base Regular cabs and from 1751 pounds to 2101 pounds on four-doors. Like most half-ton pickups, we found it worked at about 2/3 of capacity and expect the ride to suffer beyond that.
Tow ratings are up too, to 10,200 pounds on Regular cab and 11,500 on Double cab. Crew Cab ratings are about 200 pounds lower than Double Cab as are 4WD, except on Crew V6 (6600 pounds) because of a better axle ratio. Remember that tow ratings are not always directly comparable among brands because the only industry-wide standard is SAE J2807, and only Toyota certifies its ratings to it.
Even a short drive shows the Silverado to be more refined, quieter, and delivering a better ride, particularly on choppy road surfaces that make trucks shake and things like sharp bumps in corners that cause the rear end to skip sideways. Ride quality will vary among the 10 tires and various suspension choices. As before, we found the Z71 package designed for off-road use delivers the best blend of handling and comfort on rural highways, ranch roads, pockmarked infrastructure and expansion-heaved expressways most pickups travel.
Steering is electric-assist now and needs the same space for a U-turn as last year's despite wider tires and track. It requires little effort at low speeds, doesn't lose assist in heavy maneuvering like corkscrewing a trailer into a camp site, weights up nicely with speed and tracks well. We noticed it doesn't seem to return to center quite as fast, but it's a subtle difference.
All-disc brakes have good feel and retarding, and a new material is said to last much longer; only time will tell.
The integrated trailer brake controller is well worth the price; even if your trailer has surge brakes consider it for resale value or loaning the truck to others.

Summary

With plenty of choices to keep up with the competition, the 2014 Chevy Silverado adds considerable refinement, efficiency and comfort to a new look, new cabin and new engines. By pull-and-carry truck standards, fuel economy and features it is absolutely competitive, whether or not you're loyal to bow-ties.
