Ready for work, play, and long-distance journeys, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup that’s ready for virtually every occasion, and while it has many impressive things to offer, here’s a quick overview of some of its best features.


Strength and Off-Roading

With this edition of the Silverado 1500, you have multiple trims with four engines available among them. The base engine, a turbocharged 310-horsepower 2.7-liter I4, generates 430 pound-feet of torque: more than enough to meet most drivers’ demands. There’s also a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel I6 that produces 305 horses and 495 pound-feet of torque while delivering up to 29 MPG in estimated mileage.


The other two engines are a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 with 383 pound-feet of torque and a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Impressive towing capabilities are also offered with this pickup, as you can pull up to 13,300 pounds when fully equipped. 



Cabin Comforts and Design

Seating up to six, the truck’s interior is spacious and also offers plenty of room for cargo, thanks to the under-seat storage area and split-folding 60/40 rear bench seat in the rear of the cabin. Optional highlights include dual-zone climate control, both the Rear Camera Mirror and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated and ventilated front-row seats with power-adjustability, and heated rear seats. There’s also an available console-mounted safe for securing valuables.


Designed with ruggedness and style in mind, the truck’s exterior has standard cab-mounted cargo lamps, 12-standard tie-downs in the bed for securing cargo, and a wide range of head-turning paint color options that include standouts like Lakeshore Blue and Slate Gray. When working with cargo in the bed, the optional Multi-Flex Tailgate’s full-width step and multiple gating functions are sure to make everything easier, and rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lamps, and heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors are all available as well.



Advanced Tech Throughout

Keeping up with the latest tech trends, this pickup’s standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System is perfect for long journeys with its multiple entertainment options, wireless smartphone connectivity, voice-activated calling, and other convenient functions. Pairing the available seven-speaker Bose sound system with it creates immersive audio experiences, and you can view full-color 360-degree visuals of your surroundings with the HD Surround Vision Camera System, another available feature. There’s also a wireless charger option for smartphones and an available windshield head-up display.

All the driver-assist features available are also hi-tech, like Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, both Front and Rear Park Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control, while the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, the Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam headlamps, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking all come standard.
