The Chevrolet Silverado, the longest-lasting, most-dependable full-size pickup on the road, shows off how reliable it really is in a 60-second U.S. ad that will air during the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday. The ad, called “2012”, shows the Silverado navigating the devastation and destruction predicted to occur this year by the Mayan calendar.
