The all-new 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 first hit dealerships in the fall of 2020. With the best-in-class highway fuel economy, more cameras than any other competitor, and top-of-the-line technology, it’s no wonder this pickup sits at the top of its class.

A Quick Guide to the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500

New Features

The new Silverado brandishes the first-ever automatic power up and down tailgate. It is also known as the multi-flex tailgate, named after its ability to function in six different ways. This truck also boasts a myriad of trailering technology.

When changing lanes with a trailer, your truck will project a red overlay that is twice the trailer’s length, so as a driver, you can be confident that the lane is all clear. The brand new jack-knife alert and cargo bed view enhancement for aligning a fifth-wheel also make this truck one of the best for towing.

Safety Features

Chevy strategically placed 15 cameras around this truck, which is more than any other competitor on the market. These cameras take the role of a backseat driver to alert you when you are following too close to the vehicle in front of you or when it detects a potential collision.

The auto emergency braking system will automatically apply the brakes if you are traveling less than 50 mph or will assist the driver with braking harder if needed. The adaptive cruise control not only maintains a consistent speed but will keep the same distance between the car in front of you as well.

The 2021 Chevy Silverado Is Ready to Work

With a towing max of 13,300 pounds, 420 horsepower, and 460 pounds of torque, this truck puts its competition to shame. The new Chevy possesses 12 tie-downs, double the amount of any other truck on the market. The Durabed also features 89.1 cubic feet of standard cargo bed volume and LED cargo lights, so you never have to worry about being left out in the dark.

As mentioned above, the multi-flex tailgate is a new characteristic for the Silverado. From your key fob, you can open or close the tailgate. However, additional options allow you to create space for oversized items or generate an additional step so you can reach farther into the bed.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Although this truck is ready to get down to the nitty-gritty, the interior flaunts an elevated new design and plenty of space for any passenger. Offering over three and a half feet of headroom and just under four feet of legroom, anyone can travel comfortably in this truck. Additional storage has been added so you can rest assured you have everything you need at all times.

Chevy also included Apple Carplay and Android Auto to ensure you can stay connected no matter where you are. The head-up display projects your speedometer plus other important information onto the windshield in front of you, so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
