The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a full-size, heavy-duty truck, and it’s incredibly capable. It beats its competitors in many ways, and we find its various features to be highly impressive. There are tons of features that we could discuss, but we’re going to focus on the ones we feel are the best.
1. Impressive Towing Capacity
The Silverado 1500’s maximum towing capacity is 13,300 pounds. This is highly impressive, and it beats several of the vehicle’s competitors. You’ll need the vehicle’s strongest engine, 20-inch wheels, and the Max Trailering Package to gain this capacity. Even without those features, you can still haul large loads. We highly recommend opting for the Max Trailering Package, though.
The Max Trailering Package brings a range of cameras into the mix. The cameras let you keep an eye on your load, so you can feel safer while towing. The cameras can also help you see the area behind your trailer, and that brings further safety to your hauling.
2. Excellent Payload
The truck’s payload is also wonderful. You can pack 89.1 cubic feet with 2,280 pounds of gear. You don’t need the strongest engine to haul this load, but you’ll need the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine. You’ll also need the long cargo bed that’s available.
For people who dislike towing, the large truck bed should be more than capable enough for your needs. It’s great for taking gear on road trips, and it works well for transporting materials for DIY projects, too.
3. Highly Responsive
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is more responsive than most vehicles of its size. Some competitors struggle with braking, especially while hauling a heavy load. The Silverado 1500 has no such issue, and it responds to the lightest touch of the brake pedal. The pedals also feel wonderful to use, and you can very much tell that the pedals are all high-quality.
4. Delightful Comfort
Comfort is vital in a vehicle. You don’t want to set off on a long journey while uncomfortable. The Chevy Silverado 1500 is excellent for keeping you cozy on those long journeys. The front and back rows are roomier than average, and the seats are highly supportive. The seats are also padded, so they keep you comfortable while they support you.
Some of the vehicle’s higher trims have further comfort. There’s lumbar support in the driver’s seat on higher trims, and the seats are power-adjustable with 10 settings. You can also heat and ventilate the seats on higher trims. The heating and ventilation complement the dual-zone automatic climate control very well.
