In the world of full-size pickup trucks, the new 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is well established as a reliable and capable option for both work and play. With an impressive range of capable engines, robust towing performance, plenty of off-road toys, and a comfortable interior filled with modern tech, the Silverado 1500 continues to earn its place in the hearts of Chevy loyalists. In this comprehensive spotlight, we’ll delve into all the major aspects of this versatile truck.
Engine and towing performance
Under the hood, the 2024 Silverado 1500 offers an outstanding lineup of engines to suit various needs. The base turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine produces an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, making it a strong choice for those seeking a balance of power and efficiency.
For those who prefer the classic V8 experience, Chevrolet offers two options: a 5.3-liter V8 rated at 355 horsepower, and a 6.2-liter V8 rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. These engines provide ample power for towing and hauling, and they’re paired with smooth-shifting transmissions.
Additionally, for those who prioritize fuel economy without sacrificing capability, there’s the 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax® turbo-diesel engine generating 305 horsepower and a hefty 495 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers impressive efficiency and is well-suited for long hauls.
With a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds, the Silverado 1500 can handle trailers and so much more.[1] Whether you’re towing a boat for a weekend getaway or hauling construction equipment for a job site, this is a truck that has you covered.
Off-roading capability
For off-road enthusiasts, the 2024 Silverado 1500 comes in a specialized off-road variant: the ZR2. Just as extreme as competitors like the Ford F-150 Raptor, the ZR2 offers a capable off-road suspension, specialized tires, and extra under-body protection. With a four-wheel-drive system featuring low-range gearing, it’s ready to tackle challenging terrain and provide an exciting off-road experience. If you’re looking for just a little off-road capability but not the whole menu of specialized features, then check out the LT Trail Boss or Custom Trail Boss.
Interior comfort and practicality
Inside the Silverado 1500, you’ll find a well-designed and comfortable cabin. Depending on the trim level, seating configurations range from three to six occupants. The Crew Cab stands out with its incredibly generous rear legroom — 43.4 inches — making it ideal for passengers on long journeys.
While the base Work Truck offers basic amenities with vinyl seat covering, higher trim levels offer more comfort and luxury. Mid-range trims feature cloth upholstery, and the top trims boast leather seating surfaces, giving you a range of options to suit your preferences.
One standout feature is the available 13.4-inch touch-screen infotainment system, providing easy access to navigation, entertainment, and connectivity features. This system, along with a 12.3-inch digital driver information display, brings modern technology to the forefront of the driving experience.
Connectivity and infotainment technologies
The 2024 Silverado 1500 ensures you stay connected and entertained while on the road. Base models come equipped with a snappy, easy-to-read 7-inch infotainment touch screen. As you move up the trim levels, you’ll enjoy larger screens, with the top-tier models featuring the impressive 13.4-inch touch screen.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity is now standard across the entire Silverado 1500 lineup. This feature simplifies smartphone integration, allowing you to access your favorite apps without the hassle of cables. Additionally, the availability of Wi-Fi in the Custom trim can turn your Silverado into a mobile office, making it convenient for work or entertainment during breaks.
Safety technologies
Every Silverado 1500 trim level comes equipped with standard driver-assistance technologies, including forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. These features provide peace of mind on the road, whether you’re navigating city streets or highways.
For towing enthusiasts, the Silverado 1500 offers an excellent trailering camera system that provides 14 different views, including one where the trailer appears to “disappear,” giving you a clear view behind your trailer. Additionally, the available Super Cruise™ hands-free driving feature is even compatible with a trailer. Big jobs have never been safer.
Cabs and bed features
The 2024 Silverado 1500 offers versatility in cab and bed sizes to meet various needs. Cab formats include Regular, Double, and Crew, each providing different levels of spaciousness. The Regular cab offers the option of a long bed (98 inches), while the Double and Crew cabs can be paired with a short (70 inches) or standard (80 inches) bed.
The bed volumes range from 62.9 to 89.1 cubic feet, and the truck includes 12 tie-down points for securing cargo. LED lighting for the cargo area is standard in all but the base Work Truck, where it’s available as an option. Even the Work Truck features a convenient corner step in the rear bumper for easy bed access. Made out of roll-formed high-strength steel and offered with a six-way Multi-Flex Tailgate, the Durabed simply has more to offer the competition.
