The high-capacity suspension and 4WD system provide the traction and composure needed for spirited driving, whether on pavement or gravel.Compared to the Ford F-150 STX and Ram 1500 Tradesman, the Silverado Custom delivers a more direct steering feel and a suspension tuned for both comfort and engagement.
