Chevy has outdone themselves once again with the 2021 Silverado. Earning its name as a workhorse, the Chevy Silverado blows all the competition out of the water. Here are five amazing features of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500:
-
Engine Power
The 1500’s optional 6.2L V8 engine packs a punch with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, perfect for even the most strenuous of jobs. The engine power results in the truck being able to trailer a maximum of 13,300 lbs. Even the standard 2.7L turbo gas engine with 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque is enough for most users.
-
Trailer Tech
Trailering and hauling have been made as easy as possible with the new trailer technology. The in-vehicle trailering system gives you control over your trailer connections, lighting system, and profiles. Safety is at the forefront of Chevy’s system, with the system also providing pre-departure checklists that remind you of adjustments that need to be made prior to leaving, such as mirrors and transmission adjustments. Tire temperature and pressure can also be checked during a drive so that a blowout can be prevented.
-
Cargo Bed and Storage
The 89.1 cubic ft cargo bed provides all the space and extras that you’d need. The strength and quality of the bed are second to none, but its tie-downs, lights, and tailgate that Chevy truly excels. 12 tie-downs (industry standard is 6) ensure nothing moves around while out on the road, the lights help you work late into the night, and the tailgate can be folded down into 6 different setups for whatever you need. It can be a desk, a bed, or even a step. There are also storage spaces in the backs of the rear seats if you want to keep something secure in the car.
-
Cameras
The cameras and sensors on the Silverado 1500 ensure that the driver has a 360-degree view of their car from the comfort of the interior touchscreen display. Backing up and fitting into tight spots is a breeze with the reversing cameras. The hitch view gives four different angles that will improve alignment when connecting a trailer or boat, and the rear side view, activated by using the turn signal, ensures that you won’t get caught out trying to move in front of a vehicle unsafely.
-
Infotainment
Being out on the road often gets boring, so the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will have you humming. Thanks to the new standards, and the Wi-Fi hotspot, you won’t have any trouble entertaining yourself. The Wi-Fi-Hotspot also creates the ability for you to work from within your own car and helps you stay in contact with your clients and staff.
Perfect for the hauling and trailering enthusiast, the new Silverado 1500 has everything you’ll need to tow your boat or haul your work materials around. Come on down and see us at Jim Turner Chevrolet to test drive the new Silverado 1500 today.
