There’s no shortage of options when it comes to putting together a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500. You can get a vehicle that prioritizes towing, or one that’s best when it’s carrying loads over long distances. The Silverado can also be the family vehicle that you take off-road or to the cabin. In any configuration though, the 1500 is a truck that is built for hard work.
What You Move and How You Move It
A Balance Between the Cab and the Bed
It’s up to you how much space you want available for carrying passengers, and how much you want to leave for the truck’s bed. You can maximize the size of the cargo bed by having only one row of seating in a standard cab. Alternatively, opting for either the double cab or the crew cab reduces the available length for the bed, but means that you have an additional row of seating for family or co-workers.
The Right Engine
Because choosing the proper tool can make the difference between a job being a struggle or a snap, the Silverado offers a selection of engines so you can put just what you need under the hood of the truck you build. From the quick power of the 2.7L turbo, through the raw grunt of the 6.2L V8, there’s an engine with the performance you want for the load you need to haul.
While most of the available engines run on gasoline, buyers looking for a vehicle for long trips should consider the 3.0L turbo-diesel option that offers superior efficiency and range. The engine generates powerful torque at low speeds and uses a 10-speed automatic transmission to help optimize the RPM as you accelerate.
The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Helps You Get Things Done
Trailering-Assist
Towing is a big part of what a pickup does, so the Silverado is built not just to pull heavy loads, but also to help you manage them by using options like Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control. From inside the cab, you can monitor the tire pressure of a compatible trailer, or keep track of things out back with up to 15 available camera views to help with actions like parking and merging.
The Cargo Bed
Even if you only occasionally load up your truck, it should be ready whenever you need to. The Silverado’s high-strength-steel bed is rugged and made for constant use, with up to about 89 cubic feet of cargo bed volume, 12 cargo tie-downs, and available LED lighting. An optional Multi-Flex Tailgate can be installed on any trim to add six functions that make life easier, like load-stops for dealing with long cargo and a fold-down full-width step.
With the Silverado 1500 you get a vehicle that’s sturdy and built around a powertrain that expects to be burdened. While it’s a workhorse in any configuration, there’s plenty of flexibility between the different trims and options to find just the right truck to tackle the jobs that you need to do.
