2015 Chevrolet Silverado ready for police duty

Law enforcement agencies across North America are being offered their own version of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pick-up.

Called the Special Service Vehicle, it’s based on the Crew Cab model and comes in either 1WT or 1LS guises. Users get to choose between a 6’6” or 5’8” cargo box, while power is provided by the 355 bhp (265 kW / 360 PS) 5.3 litre EcoTec3 V8 engine which can be paired with either rear- or four-wheel drive.

To help cope with the demands of police work the Silverado SSV gains an auxiliary battery as well as a high-output alternator. Furthermore, the cab features a 110 volt power outlet and the modified centre console has space for four extra switches.

Numerous specialist options are available for the Silverado SSV too. Among them are a vinyl-covered rear seat, additional wiring for warning lights and sirens, pillar-mounted spotlights and a rear-view camera.
