Interior
What is it like on the inside?
For a long time, the Silverado’s interior was drab and poorly appointed, vastly outclassed by the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. But Chevy’s made a big effort to step up its game in recent years, and the Silverado now stands toe to toe with the industry’s best trucks. Soft leather upholstery is available, as are heated and cooled seats, and this truck can be optioned with every creature comfort you desire. Then again, that’s not entirely surprising considering these trucks cost as much as luxury cars these days.
How much stuff can I put in the bed?
Much like the Silverado’s towing specs, this really depends on the truck’s engine, driveline, trim level, and bed length. On the low end, a Silverado Crew Cab with the six-foot, six-inch bed does the worst, able to carry 1,720 pounds. The Silverado Regular Cab with an eight-foot bed, on the other hand, will haul 2,260 pounds of dirt, rocks, the contents of your old apartment, whatever.

The bed folds down as you’d expect, but there’s also a Multi-Flex tailgate option that’ll let you open just the top half, the whole thing, convert the top half into a step, and more. It’s useful for securing and hauling all sorts of objects, and it’s simple and intuitive to use. Plus, it’s a Silverado. Go on and slam stuff around – this truck can take it.
How’s the tech?
Great, actually. On LT trim levels and above, the Silverado comes standard with a 13.4-inch touchscreen that’s colorful, bright, and immediately responsive, and the menu structure is a cinch to navigate. There’s Google built in, so you can connect your various apps, and both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connect wirelessly. The big, digital gauge cluster complements the large center screen nicely, as well.
