Powertrain
The Silverado 1500 boasts a wide variety of powertrain options, making the truck suitable for just about any need. Its standard engine, a 2.7L TurboMax inline-4, is impressive with its output of 310 hp and 430 lb-ft. Fans of V8 power will have a choice between a 355-hp 5.3L and a 420-horsepower 6.2L. The most efficient motor available is a 305-hp 3.0L turbo-diesel inline-6 that helps earn an EPA-rated 29 MPG highway.
Buyers can choose between an 8- or 10-speed automatic transmission. Both feature a tow/haul mode and powertrain grade braking, an automatic system that extends the service life of the brakes by using the engine and transmission to slow the truck. The 10-speed automatic also includes overdrive and manual shifting modes. Every model offers a robust 4-wheel drive system for increased traction.
Towing and Hauling
In Work Truck trim, the Silverado 1500 can tow close to 10,000 pounds, but models equipped with the turbo-diesel engine have a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds with the Max Trailering Package. This package includes tougher rear springs, an enhanced cooling radiator, and an automatic locking rear differential. As for payload capacity, the truck is able to carry well over 2,000 pounds within its reinforced bed.
One of the Silverado 1500’s most versatile features is its available Multi-Flex Tailgate. It has six different functions, including a fold-down step for easier access, a pull-out work surface, and two load stops for keeping cargo from falling out of the bed. Box lengths range from 69.92 inches to 98.18 inches.
Passenger Cabin
Not only does the Silverado 1500 come as a regular cab, but it’s also available in the crew cab and double cab body styles, allowing it to serve as a comfortable family vehicle. Crew cabs are especially spacious, with over 43 inches of legroom in both rows. Many trims come standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, and heated seats.
Infotainment System
A 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Bluetooth audio streaming is standard. Other models get a 13.4-inch display and Google Built-In, granting access to Google Maps, Google Play, and hands-free control over several vehicle functions through Google Assistant. An available Bose premium audio system provides home theater-quality sound with seven speakers and a Richbass subwoofer.
