2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT1 LB

If you like the feel and features of the LT1 but need extra room in the back, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT1 LB is for you. That LB stands for long bed, which in this case is 97.8 inches long, up from the 78.7 inches of the standard bed and the 69.3 of the short bed. The drivetrain remains the same as the LT1's (a 4.8-liter V8), but the additional inches in the bed change some of the specs. The maximum payload is 1,861 pounds, the maximum towing capacity is 5,100 pounds, and the mileage is 14 city/19 highway mpg.
