Engine Choices of the Silverado 1500
The 1500 gives you ample engine choices for both model years, such as:
- A 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 310 horsepower
- A 5.3-liter V8 generating 355 horsepower
- A 6.2-liter V8 cranking out 420 horses
- 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six producing 277 horsepower
Work Truck, Custom, LT, RST, Custom Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country trims offer a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive; however, the Trail Boss is exclusively four-wheel drive.
As you go up the lineup ladder, Silverado trims add touches of elegance. The Work Truck models start things off with vinyl upholstery and manual controls, while the LT features a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a wide center touchscreen for more refinement.
At the very top of the lineup, the High Country goes all out, adding leather upholstery, open-pore wood accents, and an overall upscale feel that lends itself to more comfort. Rear legroom in crew cab models is ample, though back seat cushions could have more padding.
Where Does the Silverado 1500 Stand on Tech?
From the LT trim to the High Country, you'll get a larger 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google Voice Assistant, wireless smartphone integration, and available Amazon Alexa support. Every Silverado 1500 also features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a built-in mobile hotspot as standard. For old-school Silverado fans, Chevy kept some physical buttons and knobs for core controls because they're easy to find and operate, even in gloves.
