The right pickup truck, like those in the Silverado lineup, can make a world of difference when it comes to both work and play. We’re taking a closer look at the lightest pickup in the Silverado line, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500!
Performance
The Silverado 1500 comes with a standard TurboMax engine offering 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Other engine options include the 5.3L Ecotec3 V8, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine.
Entertainment
Inside the Silverado 1500, there’s a 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a range of entertainment features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are connectivity options that allow you to sync your smartphone to the truck. From there, you can access your contacts, text messages, and certain phone apps.
The new Silverado 1500 also comes with SiriusXM radio capabilities. SiriusXM satellite radio has hundreds of music stations, live sporting events, and 24/7 news coverage from around the world.
Capabilities
Several exterior features enhance capabilities, including the cargo tie-downs. There are twelve cargo tie-downs in the Silverado’s truck bed, with each corner rated 500 pounds for ultimate hauling purposes. The Silverado bed is a roll-formed high-strength steel Durabed that can carry the most abrasive materials without any damage.
Seating
The Chevy Silverado has a 40/20/40 split front bench seat with built-in storage under the cushions. This offers the perfect space for small items like tools or first aid kits. The back seat is a 60/40 split bench that can be folded up on one or both sides to increase your cargo space. All seating in the Silverado 1500 base trim is made with smooth vinyl for comfort and easy cleanup.
Safety
Chevy Safety Assist is an essential part of the Silverado safety system. This package uses assistive driving functions to alert you to hazards and obstacles in your path, preventing common causes of accidents. The following functions make up the Chevy Safety Assist package:
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam
- Following Distance Indicator
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Emergency Braking
StabiliTrak and Teen Driver are two additional safety features in the Silverado 1500. StabiliTrak prevents vehicle rollover during rapid emergency maneuvers or when driving on slippery routes. Teen Driver helps parents encourage safer driving habits by providing in-cabin feedback on how well their child is driving.
Appearance
The Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup with a sturdy build and bold exterior features. The 2024 model is available in bright colors like Red Hot and the base trim comes with 17-inch ultra silver painted steel wheels.
