0:03 A Man And His Truck And An Engineer / Efficiency 0:05 My name is Nick Mundt, I am the co-host
of two television shows on the Outdoor Channel, 0:09 Bone Collector and Realtree Roadtrips.
0:12 I like the outdoors, camping. Pack up all the gear, take off for a few days.
0:16 I'm Nick Smith, I'm an engineer for Silverado. 0:18 My life takes me on the road for about
300 days a year. 0:22 A lot of people get homesick and want
to go home -- 0:23 I get sick of being home and want to
be out on the road chasing something. 0:26 My dad, he had a 1985 Chevy pickup, and
we actually drove from Michigan down to the Grand Canyon,
0:33 California, Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming. 0:36 The most important thing on a road trip
-- power, capability and efficiency. 0:41 I think the great thing about the EcoTec
engine, it gives you power, it has capability, it's also fuel efficient.
0:47 The last 20 years of my life have been spent living out of a suitcase, going from
camp to camp. 0:52 The EcoTec3 engine has three key technologies:
0:56 Direct injection, continuously variable valve timing, and active fuel management.
1:00 But a majority of my hunts that I go on, I like to drive, it's one of the neatest
things about my job, 1:05 Is that I get to go to new areas.
1:06 Direct injection is really important because it's more complete, you can mix that
fuel more efficiently 1:13 Which means you don't have to stop at
the fuel station as many times. 1:16 Hunting is definitely my passion. You
know, I get in my Chevy, turn on the radio, and I go.
1:21 Continuously variable valve timing, we make sure the engine can run most efficient
while also 1:27 Delivering as much power across the whole
operating range. 1:30 Active fuel management is where the engine
can run on four cylinders. 1:34 When you need the added power, all the
cylinders will come on. 1:37 My Silverado and I have been to so many
great hunting spots. 1:40 These technologies help make the Silverado
the most fuel-efficient V8 available in a full-size pickup.
1:46 I depend on my gear -- my bow, my arrows, my knives. Biggest tool for me is my Silverado.
1:51 Gets me there every time. 1:53 That to me is what strong means, and
that's what the Silverado is. 1:56 Chevrolet bowtie logo
