		<description><![CDATA[The 2009 Chevy Silverado holds its line well when going down interstates and moves through turns without billowing around. The workhorse powertrain also makes a good showing during more practical applications such as towing. Navigating this or any other full-size crew-cab pickup, for that matter, around crowded city streets and parking lots, however, can cause [...]]]></description>

Cruising around town, the 2.4-liter engine accelerates vigorously, with ample power to pass slower vehicles. Steering is tight and precise, and when forced, [...]]]></description>
