Want a hardworking truck that ticks every box and looks great doing it? Then look no further than the always-dependable 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500. With fantastic new features and incredible power options, you’ll love what’s available with this new model.
New for This Year
The latest model has seen a number of upgrades designed to give you more bang for your buck. With a new infotainment system, impressive trailer-towing technology, and more choice than ever before, you’ll be thrilled with what’s available in 2021.
Customization
You can design this pickup to be whatever you need it to be. There are eight trim levels available, plus choose from three separate cab and bed sizes. The regular cab seats three, while the double or crew can seat up to five.
Whether you’re after a no-fuss ride that gets the job done, or you want something that feels more like a luxury vehicle, you can make this car your own. For the latter, enjoy upgrades like heated seats, a sunroof, and a 360-degree camera system.
If you’re after the cheapest option, go for the standard 1500, which will set you back about 30k. Even in its most basic form, there’s ample legroom, bed capacity, and cargo space, plus plenty of muscle; it’s a fantastic pickup no matter what your trim.
Power
The customization doesn’t end there. Choose from five killer engines, including a turbocharged four-cylinder with 310-horsepower, a 420-horsepower V8, and a turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel.
Towing capacity has gone up with this model, and it now has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. It can haul up to 2,280 pounds depending on the trim. You can opt for the Advanced Trailering System, which gives you a host of helpful features to optimize how you look after your trailers such as trailer service reminders and a pre-departure checklist.
Handling
Given how muscular of a truck it is, you’ll love how smooth this Chevy drives. It’s responsive and easy to maneuver even in the most confined areas. Rear and four-wheel drive options have you covered no matter how off-road you want to get. Choose between 6, 8, and 10-speed automatic transmission.
Interior
High-tech features are available, including excellent safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Connecting your phone is simple thanks to the standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Blast your favorite tracks as your tear down the highway with an optional seven-speaker Bose audio system.
The layout of the interior has remained faithful to past designs, staying simple and easy to use. Comfortable, spacious seating comes in either cloth or genuine leather upholstery, and power-adjustable front seats have a range of movement to fit pretty well any driver.
