Chevrolet is dominating the highway with the recent introduction of one of its toughest trucks yet, the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500. Get a closer look here to learn what the newest model has to offer and why this just might be the truck of the year.

2021 Chevy Silverado Basics

This full-size pickup truck continues its long-standing tradition as a built-to-last American truck. As it has been for more than 100 years, almost all design, manufacturing, and assembly took place in the USA, beginning in September 2020. The trucks were dispersed nationwide throughout the fall and are ready to drive off dealership lots today.

Pricing

With 8 different models and 6 different engines to choose from, the newest trucks offer something for all driving needs. And the Silverado starts affordably around $28,000 for the basic model. For those wanting to go bigger, the price can end up closer to $70,000 for the larger model options with specialty editions.

Unique Features

To really make the most of the truck’s performance and comfortability, there are several custom features, including the 6.2-Liter EcoTec3 V8-engine (considered top of the line in performance), 10-speed automatic transmission in 4WD, heated and cooling seats with leather interior, technology upgrades, and unique exterior color options.

Upgraded Towing, Trailering, and Tailgate Features

Praised for its excellence and reliability in towing capacities, the 2021 Silverado continues to deliver with improved towing performance on two of its most efficient engines – the 2.7-Liter Turbo and the 3.0-Liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The technology upgrade adds roughly 1,900 to 2,500 lbs of towing capacity.

The Advanced Trailering Package

For added trailering security, the Advanced Trailering Package is available to assist drivers with trailer connection and viewpoints. The package includes:

  • Hitch Guidance with hitch view
  • Hitch area lighting 
  • Electric parking brake hookup assist 
  • Integrated trailer brake controller 
  • Trailer theft alert

The Multi-Flex Tailgate

Whether it’s hauling, working, or enjoying leisure time outdoors, all models include the newly designed Multi-Flex tailgate which features six different configurations for varying tailgate needs.

Fuel Efficiency

A major perk offered with the 2021 models that shouldn’t be overlooked is the diesel engine options. The Silverado models complete with diesel engines are consistently noted for high-fuel efficiency getting 28 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. With a tank capacity as large as 28 gallons, that equates to less stopping to more and more moving toward the destination.

Safety Measures

Driver and passenger safety was not overlooked in the new release. It earned a 4 out of 5-star safety rating from the IIHS and features standard safety measures like running daytime lights, multiple airbags, and electronic stability control. Additional safety options include blind-spot detection and lane departure prevention/warming.

Tried and true, the Chevy Silverado 1500 brings together reliable features of models past with modern upgrades and excitable features. Drivers will hit the road with confidence and style. Call or stop by Stan King GM Superstore to take one home today.
