Awards for Value
For the Chevy Silverado 1500‘s latest award, Vincentric measures the cost of ownership based on typical use, using eight different cost factors. It takes into consideration depreciation, fees and taxes, fuel consumption, insurance, financing, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs.
The Silverado 1500 also won the 2020 Kelley Blue Book (KBB) 5-Year Cost to Own Award, meaning that you get long-term value from your truck. But your savings don’t stop there because, when it’s time to trade your truck, the Silverado also earned the 2020 KBB Best Resale Value Award. This is the truck that keeps on giving.

Multiple Configuration Options
The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is available in eight trim levels: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country. Whether you’re looking for a practical daily workhorse, a truck with awesome off-road capability, or a luxurious, well-appointed hauler, there’s a Silverado to suit your needs and your budget.
The Silverado 1500 is offered with various cab and bed configurations, depending on the trim level. Choose from the two-door regular cab, the extended four-door double cab, or the spacious crew cab with full-size rear doors and generous rear space. Depending on your choice of cab, you can opt for a standard 6.5-foot bed, a 5-foot-8-inch short bed, or the longer 8-foot bed.
