Interior, Technology, and Safety Features

As one of the best pickup trucks for daily driving, the Chevy Silverado 1500 delivers ample comfort and convenient technology for long days on the job. With available luxuries like heated seats and a heated steering wheel, you won’t have to be daunted by wintery drives. 

If you and your front-seat passenger have differing opinions on what the cabin temperature should be, available dual-zone automatic climate control lets you both get your way. Plus, available ventilated driver and front passenger seats help you stay cool during long South Carolina summers. 

Enjoy Wi-Fi hotspot capability when you need it, whether on the job or off the road, and enjoy seamless access to a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with a 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen or a 13.4-inch diagonal Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium System with Google built-in, depending on the trim level. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, adding even more convenience to your travels. 

The standard 3.5-inch diagonal monochromatic Driver Information Center is upgraded to a 12.3-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center on higher trim levels, and you can add an available multi-color 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display for a convenient — and safer — view of vehicle information as you drive.

With up to 14 available camera views, driving your truck with or without a trailer becomes even easier. When towing, a feature that really comes in handy is the available Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert feature, which is designed to warn you about vehicles in your blind spots. And with the available Trailering App, you’ll be all set!

Durabed and Multi-Flex Tailgate

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is designed to accommodate a range of needs. Offering three cab sizes for you to choose from — Crew Cab, Double Cab, and Regular Cab — it also boasts best-in-class* standard cargo volume (89.1 cubic feet) and a Durabed made of roll-formed high-strength steel. It also gives you 12 standard tie-downs, which are rated at 500 pounds per corner, and offers an available 120-volt outlet.
