Exploring Capability for 2021

The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 slows for no one, and that includes a heavy load. Touting power and capability through its range of powerful engines, there’s no challenge that this good-looking pickup truck is afraid to take on. Adventure with us as we unpack the Silverado’s towing capacity and explore just what this dynamic truck is capable of.

Power Under the Hood

Under the hood of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a barrage of dynamic available engines that each touts its own level of efficiency, power, and capability. Opt for the 4-cylinder, yes you heard that right, the 4-cylinder, and enjoy 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque from the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, power is always on tap, transferring power to the rear wheels for optimal fuel economy and impressive trailering. Opt for the fearless 6.2-liter V8 engine and enjoy 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain offers the optimal blend of power and capability. Flexing its muscles, the 6.2-liter engine features a towing capacity of 13,300 pounds.

Class-Leading Trailering Technology

Letting you make the most of your powerful engine is the capable trailering tech available in this dynamic pickup truck. An all-new suite of improved trailering tech is available for 2021 that lets you tow and haul with confidence. Offering 15 unique camera views, you can maneuver your trailer with precision and view obstacles and challenges from every angle. Other trailering features include a Trailer Length Indicator, that goes beyond the scope of a standard blind spot indicator to also include the estimated length of your trailer. Also new for 2021 is the Jack Knife Alert, which tracks the behavior of your trailer and will send an alert if it detects a possible jack-knife situation. Think the Silverado 1500 is done impressing? Think again. Other features include available Trailer Theft Alert, Brake Gain Memory, and so much more.

Silverado 1500 Trail Boss models give you even more convenience, offering standard features that include an EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate, LED bed lighting, remote start and more.

Technology Tethered to Your Smartphone

Showing off its Advanced Trailiner system, the 2021 Chevy Silverado is the first full-size pickup truck to offer an in-vehicle trailering app that not only features customized trailer profiles, but also features amenities like pre-departure checklists and trailer lighting diagnostics. Ensuring you have full confidence throughout your journey, the system also features trailer pressure and temperature monitoring that also syncs with the myChevroletTM Mobile App, so this state-of-the-art technology can be tethered to your smartphone.
