2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

From the responsiveness of the 2.7L Turbo to the powerfully advanced 6.2L V8, there is no shortage of engine options to tackle just about any job.

Chevrolet introduced the Silverado 1500 with five trim levels, plus multiple special editions, which means there's a Silverado for every job. Each of these models offers an available power up/down tailgate, 2-inch factory suspension lifts, and 22-inch wheels in various materials and styles. Off-road packages come standard with black wheels and a factory lift as well as Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Mud Terrain tires. Besides a variety of trims, six unique engine options emphasize the 2021 Silverado's diversity. A 2.7-liter turbo engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission starts the lineup. This powertrain offers a respectable 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. Next up is a 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V-6 engine. This engine is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission, both combining to produce 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. It also features active fuel management technology for enhanced efficiency. There are two 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8s, one of which features Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) technology. This engine with DFM combines with either an eight-speed or a 10-speed automatic transmission to supply 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. A 6.2-liter V-8 monster rounds out the gasoline-powered engines. This powertrain is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and generates an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet is also offering a diesel option, a Duramax 3.0-liter turbo engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces the perfect balance of power and efficiency, boasting 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.

A properly equipped 2021 Silverado 1500 offers a maximum trailer towing capacity of 13,300 pounds and a payload rating of 2,280 pounds. There are also standard features to take this vehicle to the next level, including Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, Auto Grade Braking, and a segment-first Trailer Theft Alert.

The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance.
