When it comes to configurability, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the truck to beat. A wide selection of powertrains and other customization options are available to help you make this truck exactly what you need for work or play. It’s a really versatile truck with a lot of appealing features.

1. Dependable Strength

Because there are multiple engines to choose from, the towing and payload capacities of the Silverado 1500 vary. However, its maximum hauling capacity is 13,300 pounds. The maximum payload capacity ranges from 1,870 pounds up to a maximum of 2,260 pounds.

If you want the maximum towing capacity, then you need the 6.2-liter V8 engine. The 5.3-liter engine enables you to haul up to 11,500 pounds. You can tow up to 9,500 pounds with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine option. Hitch guidance is available to make it easier for you to line your truck up with your trailer.

2. Exciting Driving

Super Cruise is available on the High Country trim, turning your regular pickup truck into a vehicle that feels futuristic. This technology helps create a more supportive driving experience.

Super Cruise is capable of helping to steer, and change lanes. You have to be on a compatible road to use the full suite of features, and more and more roads are becoming compatible with it all the time.

3. Advanced Safety

The Silverado 1500 has standard Chevy Safety Assist, giving you six features that help protect you on the road. Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Automatic Emergency Braking all aim to help you avoid front-end collisions. The Following Distance Indicator helps you remain a safe distance from the driver in front of you.

IntelliBeam automatic headlights automatically toggle the high beams on and off as needed while you’re driving in the dark. Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps you stay in the correct lane by issuing a warning if you unintentionally drift toward the next lane.

4. Incredible Off-Roading Abilities

Three of the Silverado 1500’s trims are trail-ready. The ZR2, Custom Trail Boss, and LT Trail Boss all have specific features that make off-road driving safer and more enjoyable. For example, the ZR2 has an off-road cut front bumper, 33-inch MT tires, and multimatic DSSV dampers. Its off-road chassis and suspension calibrations let it deliver an incredible performance on difficult, uneven terrain.
