The 2021 Chevy Silverado is so versatile you can easily create your dream pickup truck. In fact, there are over 36 ways you can configure your next truck. This customizability, among other factors, puts it solidly among the best full-size, half-ton trucks currently on the market. Today, we’re offering a guide to the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, a light-duty pickup truck that packs a hefty punch.
Basics About the 2021 Silverado 1500
Released in fall 2020, the 2021 Silverado 1500 is one of the best light-duty pickup trucks on the market. There are eight trim levels you can choose from, and each trim is customizable. For instance, you can choose among a Crew Cab, regular cab, and extended Double Cab. Furthermore, you can pick among three truck-bed lengths, two front seating choices, and seven powertrain options.
Additionally, you can choose between 2WD and 4WD if you don’t plan on taking your truck off-roading. If you plan to take your pickup truck off-roading, you may opt for a 4WD Trail Boss drivetrain.
Pricing
You can get into a 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom for just $38,315. That said, you may pay closer to $41,220 for a Silverado 1500 Custom depending on the features you’re looking for. If you want to get into a new Silverado 1500 WT, you should expect to pay around $38,810. Additionally, you should expect to pay around $45,195 to get into a 2021 Silverado 1500 LT.
New/Unique Features
The powertrain sets the 2021 Silverado 1500 apart from its 2020 predecessor and similar pickup trucks currently on the market. While the choices of motor and transmission are yours, we recommend the 2.7L Turbo adds an impressive 1,000 pounds of trailering capacity regardless of the transmission selected.
Additionally, the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel lets you tow an additional 1,900 pounds without straining the powertrain.
Enhanced Trailering Safety Features
The 2020 Chevy Silverado featured the groundbreaking ability to provide 15 unique camera views. No other competitor could achieve this. The 2021 Silverado, however, has upped the ante significantly. If you get a 2021 Silverado 1500, you can enjoy the following brand-new features that will make towing easier and safer than ever before:
- Trailer Length and Angle Indicators
- Cargo Bed View Enhancement
- Rear Trailer View with Guidelines
- Jack-Knife Alert
Additionally, you still get the old safety features that Silverado owners loved about the 2020 model. For instance, the Rear Side View Enhancement gives you a split view of both sides of the trailer in high-quality resolution. Furthermore, you still get high-definition images thanks to the incredibly high-resolution cameras.
Whether you need to haul lumber for work or you want a pickup truck you can take off-roading, there is a 2021 Silverado 1500 for you. Additionally, this is the pickup truck for you if you plan to tow trailers. No other truck on the market has such advanced safety features.
