Everyone knows that when you go to a Chevy dealership, you’ll find pickup trucks such as the Chevy Silverado 1500 with impressive capabilities when it comes to towing and hauling. However, the bigger story in the full-size pickup truck market is how Chevy designs their trucks for daily driving, too. The days of gas-guzzling engines and rough road manners are gone, replaced with trucks with upscale accommodations and comfortable rides.
Driving Technology
In today’s tech-driven world, most drivers and passengers don’t want to leave their technology at home, they want it with them at all times. The Silverado 1500 has tons of functional tech to make your drive better. Google Built-in is one of them. It gives you access to your voice assistant and puts your favorite apps right on the touchscreen. The seamless connection means you can ask Google anything and it will deliver, whether it’s directions or the hours of the restaurant where you want to have lunch.
Driver Assistance Keeps You Safer
Since safety is a priority for most drivers, it makes sense that the Silverado 1500 has a full suite of advanced driver assistance features. These all fall under the umbrella of the Chevy Safety Assist suite and include systems such as forward collision alert that scans the road ahead looking for possible collisions, and automatic braking which will apply the brakes if you miss someone stopping in front of you.
Busy highways can be stressful, but you can feel more confident as soon as you drive off the Chevy dealership lot with lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning to help make sure you stay where you belong.
The Utility You Need for Work and Play
Let’s face it, you can’t beat the utility of a pickup truck. The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a choice of engines starting with a powerful 2.7-liter four-cylinder TurboMax with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. But this is just the beginning. You can get a 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower or a 6.2-liter V-8. If you want diesel power, check out the turbodiesel with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque.
Need towing power? The Silverado 1500 can pull up to 13,300 pounds making it a seriously capable hauler whether it’s a trailer for work or your boat when you want to play on the weekends.
Making Trailering Easier
Speaking of towing, you can’t beat the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 when it comes to tech that makes trailering easier and safer. First, you have 14 available camera views to help you while you hook up and while you’re driving. These views come from state-of-the-art cameras that can even give you a close-up view of the hitch and a birds-eye view around the entire truck and trailer setup.
The rear top-down view provides you with a look at the clearance you have between the Silverado bed and obstacles around you, and the bed view camera gives you a peek at your cargo.
