Silverado 1500

Features of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a bold, rugged style with many advanced features. Nine trim levels are available with most model years: the WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country. 

Exterior Features

Most trims feature a prominent grille with the Chevy symbol in the center, and there are several cargo tie-down points in the truck bed for easier hauling. Standard features include a sculpted hood, skid plates, all-season tires, a 120-volt power outlet, and daytime running lights. You can choose standard, long, or short sizes for the truck bed and regular, crew, or double cab sizes.

Common options include dual exhaust, black or chrome assist steps, all-terrain tires, mud-terrain tires, and power-folding auto-dimming heated side mirrors. LED lights for the truck bed, tinted glass, front and rear splash guards, a sunroof, a spray-on bed liner, a power tailgate, and power-retractable assist steps are also available.

Power and Performance

The Silverado 1500 offers exceptional power and a towing capacity of over 10,000 pounds. The turbocharged V-6 gives more than 300 horsepower. You can also choose an EcoTec V-8 that provides over 350 horsepower or an even more potent V-8 that generates over 400 horsepower and produces a louder, more aggressive engine sound in Sport driving mode. 

There's also a Duramax turbo diesel motor that offers over 300 horsepower. The Silverado 1500 uses a 10-speed automatic transmission. It has a brake pad wear indicator and excellent acceleration and handling. Options include an engine block heater and a heavy-duty engine air filter. Four-wheel drive is also available.

Interior and Technology

This truck comes with keyless entry, folding front and rear seats, push-button start, a touch screen on the dashboard, an outdoor temperature display, a 12-volt power outlet, and a six-speaker sound system. There are plenty of physical knobs and buttons on the dash to make using controls while driving easy. The base WT trim has a practical feel, and it comes with vinyl seats, manually adjustable front seats, and manual windows and locks. Many convenient storage spaces let you carry more cargo while leaving room for passengers.

Options with most trim levels include remote start, a large digital gauge cluster, a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar settings, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM satellite radio, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and voice activation. You can also choose leather seats with wood trim and Amazon Alexa. Some models have a Multi-Flex multifunction tailgate that can open like a door and transform into a step for easier access to the truck bed.

Safety Features

The Silverado has a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, hill descent control, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. You can add front and rear parking assistance. The limited warranty covers 36,000 miles or three years, and the powertrain warranty lasts for 60,000 miles or five years.
