“They hit one out of the ballpark with this Silverado. It’s got good fuel efficiency and the power I need. Plus it’s a good-looking truck.”

Silverado driver Joe Fuller is a straight-talking tall Texan who wears boots and a cowboy hat every day.

Fuller’s work in the agricultural feed industry takes him all around central Texas; he estimates his 2007 Z71 Silverado Crew Cab racks up 40,000 miles every year. He also runs a small cow-calf operation at his home on acreage near Hearne. “My Silverado has to serve a dual purpose. Driving so much on the job, I need a reliable and fuel efficient truck. Silverado fits the bill. And it’s real comfortable which is important to me because I’m 6’3” and I need some leg room.” Fuller chose the heavy duty towing package to handle the demands of his cattle business and the crew cab so that when the kids are home from college, the whole family can ride in style and comfort. “I’m super-pleased with this truck,” says Fuller, “all the young guys I work with want to drive it.”
