The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most popular pickup trucks on the market for good reason! Our dealership is exploring eight of the best features of the new Silverado 1500 here.

8 Features of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500

1. TurboMax Engine

The standard engine on the Silverado 1500 is a TurboMax engine that delivers 310 HP at 5600 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes Tow/Haul mode and powertrain-grade braking.

2. Durabed

Haul cargo of any kind with the Silverado 1500’s high-strength steel Durabed. The Durabed is made with roll-formed steel that can carry the roughest materials without getting damaged.

3. Under-Seat Storage

The Silverado 1500 comes with a 40/20/40 split front bench that has built-in storage beneath the seat cushions. This under-seat storage creates the perfect space for small items, like tools or travel essentials.

4. Chevy Safety Assist

Chevy Safety Assist is an essential part of the Silverado’s safety system, using a range of assistive driving functions to prevent accidents. Chevy Safety Assist contains features like Front Pedestrian Braking, which monitors your truck’s path for pedestrians and activates the emergency brakes to avoid a collision.

5. CornerStep Rear Bumper

The Silverado’s CornerStep rear bumper is an important feature that can make any work day easier. This specially designed bumper provides added stability when you’re climbing into your truck bed by offering two hollow foot inserts at either corner.

6. Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System

The new Silverado 1500 comes with a 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system for all of your entertainment needs. This system features smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both options are wireless, allowing you to sync your phone to the car without an auxiliary cord.

The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system also offers AM/FM radio for local music stations and SiriusXM satellite radio for a wide range of entertainment channels. All of the Infotainment system’s options can be accessed with Bluetooth voice controls, helping you keep your hands on the wheel while driving.

7. StabiliTrak

StabiliTrak electronic stability control keeps your Silverado upright when you make a rapid emergency maneuver. StabiliTrak works by automatically adjusting your brakes and engine torque to stabilize the truck. It also provides enhanced traction by reducing engine power and applying the brakes when it detects wheel slippage on a wet path.

8. Teen Driver

Teen Driver is an innovative safety feature that creates a report card for young drivers still learning the rules of the road. Parents can view this in-cabin report card to monitor their child’s driving habits and promote safer practices.
