This truck is versatile too, and it comes with two cargo bed sizes and three cabin styles. There`s plenty more where that came from, so let`s explore some of the truck’s best features.

6 Favorite Features of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500

1. Plenty of Powerful Engine Options

The Chevy Silverado is certainly a truck to choose from if you value variety. The powertrain options are numerous. Here’s what you can choose from:

  • 4.3-liter V6 base engine: 305 lb-ft of torque and 285 horsepower

  • 3-liter inline-6 diesel engine: 460 lb-ft of torque and 277 horsepower

2. You Can Tow Extremely Heavy Loads

The Silverado`s maximum towing capacity is 13,300 pounds. Its minimum towing capacity with the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine is 7,000 pounds. To achieve the maximum towing capacity, then you need a V8 engine, 20-inch wheels, and the Max Trailering Package.

There’s a camera system that lets you monitor your surroundings, and that makes towing even safer. You can be sure that nothing is going to get in the way of your heavy load. The camera system lets you view your truck bed and your hitch. It also comes with a surround-view, a rear top-down view, and a zoom-in feature.

3. Plentiful Cargo Space and Excellent Payload

The largest available truck bed has an area of 89.1 cubic feet. All engines offer you an impressive 2,280-pound payload. This is plenty for most everyday needs, and you can really fill up that space with ample gear.

4. Wonderful Off-Roading Abilities

All trims of the Chevy Silverado 1500 have excellent capabilities on the trails. Almost every trim has a four-wheel-drive option available. The best trims for off-roading are the High Country, Trail Boss, and Custom Trail Boss. These trims have a 2-speed Autotrac Transfer Case, automatic locking rear differentials, and a set of skid plates.

5. Interior Comfort

The Silverado 1500 has plenty of interior luxuries. The rear seating is roomier than the rear seating in competitors. Seating throughout the vehicle is supportive with plenty of cushioning. Lumbar support in the front seats is available on higher trim levels, and ventilated and heated seating is also available. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard on all trims.

6. Safety Features

Six airbags are standard on the Chevy Silverado trims, and a rearview camera is available on all trims, too. The vehicle also has an impending collision alert, automatic emergency braking system, blindspot monitoring, and teen driver technology.

The teen driver technology lets you set a speed limit for your vehicle, and that keeps your teenager safe on the road. You can also monitor your teenager’s driving habits through an app on your phone.
