Engineer Brent Deep took a new 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD heavy-duty truck for a 245-mile test drive along I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado, towing a massive 20,000-pound trailer with ease. The entire route, which climbed from approximately 5,000 feet in Denver to over 11,100 feet at the Eisenhower Tunnel, presented Deep with the perfect opportunity to put the Chevrolet Silverado's advanced smart exhaust brake system through its paces. The steep grades and rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains proved no match for the truck's impressive capabilities. Despite hauling a heavy load, Deep barely touched the brakes as he navigated the demanding conditions, confidently relying on the Silverado's innovative braking system to slow the vehicle down on descents. Deep's test drive was a resounding success, demonstrating that the Chevrolet Silverado's smart exhaust brake system is more than capable of handling even the most extreme driving situations. Whether traversing steep mountain passes or hauling heavy loads, the Silverado's advanced technology ensures a safe and controlled ride every time.
