It is certainly a well-suited off-road vehicle. You may even place it in the same category as the Ford’s F-150 Raptor and the Ram’s 1500 Rebel. However, the Raptor has a slightly higher edge when running in the desert. When using the Silverado, you get adequate clearance for matching results with its length. It can safely move on over uneven terrain and highly muddy surfaces while sidestepping getting bogged down. With its 2-wheel drive, you will get a ground clearance of slightly over 8 inches – enough for off-road travel in most places. Its 4-wheel drive version provides greater power and traction with 10.88 inches of clearance.
