Providing auto shoppers with a diverse selection of powertrain options and body configurations, Chevrolet’s Silverado 1500 can handle just about any job. You can also customize the full-size pickup’s cabin in a variety of ways. Here’s your quick guide to the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 at your local Chevy dealer!

Power and Performance

Ranging from the standard 310-hp 2.7L turbo inline-4 to the available 420-hp 6.2L V8, the Silverado 1500’s selection of engines promises excellent dependability and capability. The ZR2 model’s 305-hp 3.0L turbo-diesel inline-6 develops an astonishing 495 lb-ft of torque. An 8- or 10-speed automatic transmission provides plenty of low-end grunt. Both transmissions feature a tow/haul mode and powertrain grade braking.

Fully independent suspension, available four-wheel drive, and StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction control make the Silverado 1500 a serious off-roading machine. ZR2 models come standard with full-locking front and rear differentials for even more grip while traversing rough terrain.

Towing and Hauling

Combined with the Silverado 1500’s sturdy construction, the truck’s engines enable it to pull heavy loads with ease. While 2.7L models have no problem towing well over 9,000 pounds, the V8 allows for a tow capacity of 11,500 pounds. With the 3.0L turbo-diesel, the Silverado 1500 becomes one of the most impressive pickups in its class with its ability to pull up to 13,300 pounds.

As for payload, the Silverado 1500 can carry up to 2,260 pounds inside its durable bed. Box lengths vary from 69.92 inches to 98.18 inches. 12 bed tie-downs are standard, plus buyers can add the Multi-Flex tailgate featuring six functions, including two load stops and a work surface.

Interior

The Silverado 1500 can be a regular cab or a four-door double cab or crew cab. Able to comfortably seat up to six passengers, the four-door Silverado can easily double as a family vehicle. The truck also offers many creature comforts, such as dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated seats, and a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support. Available wood trim and leather upholstery make the ride extra luxurious.

Multimedia and Connectivity

A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system features standard support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Bluetooth audio streaming. Internet access while on the go is available, as well, thanks to the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Other trims are equipped with a 13.4-inch touchscreen running the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system offering extra customization and Google Built-In.

Whether you need a heavy-duty work truck or a rugged, versatile family hauler, the Silverado 1500 is sure to deliver! Get in touch with Patterson Kilgore Group in Kilgore, TX today and schedule a test drive!
