The Chevy Silverado 1500 pickups capacity for hard work is hereditary, an integral part of its family DNA. For generations, Chevy's full-size pickup truck has been working on ranches, getting dirty at construction sites, and hauling boats to lake housesand nothing's changed about that today. The current production Silverado 1500 gets handles work and playtime duties with a wide range of powertrain options. The larger gas V-8 is a staple and arguably one of the smoothest out thereEric Stafford, CARandDRIVER. He continuedWhile the base-level Work Truck and Custom trims are well-suited for tradespeople and folks on a tighter budget, the LT model is where the fancier interior comes into play; we think it's the one to get. We'd also configure our Silverado with the crew cab and standard-length bed for max cargo and passenger space. We'd choose the 5.3-liter V-8 over the optional diesel engine because it is cheaper and quicker. Unlike the standard turbo-four, the V-8 also lets us select the Z71 Off-Road package with a host of upgraded hardware that makes playing in the dirt and mud easier and more fun.. LT adds to the Custom trim with, Chrome exterior trim, Automatic locking rear differential, LED headlights, Dual-zone automatic climate control, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster display, the 3.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, Enhanced Google-based voice control system, a Power-adjustable driver's seat, Heated front seats and a Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel Other standard features include Remote engine start, Cruise control, Power windows and door locks Power-adjustable, heated exterior mirrors, the six-speaker audio system, Satellite radio, Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and the Trailering package with Hitch guidance lines for backup camera.
