The Chevy Silverado is one of the quintessential, great American-made trucks. It is one of the top-selling trucks in America—and the world—for many reasons, the foremost being that it combines power and affordability into a capable truck that has performed work tasks at a high level for years. That sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Yeah, we think so, too. The Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 have multiple engine options, large towing and payload capacities, and several truck cab and bed configurations, which make these trucks highly customizable for those searching for a truck of tremendous value.
For those looking for a Chevy Silverado for sale, we have many new and used models at our dealership. The 2024 Silverado has some fun new features over the 2023 model, including new colors, engine options, and advanced features, plenty of which come standard even on the lowest trims. Whether you are in the market for a general-use truck for your contracting company or a heavy-lifting 3500, we can help you find the best truck for you or your business. Here at Blossom Chevrolet, our selection of Silverados is as extensive as the Silverado is tough.
Since its introduction in 1999, the Chevy Silverado has consistently grown in popularity due to its great design, rugged manufacturing, and long-term durability. These trucks just keep going and going, working as hard and for as long as you're willing to. The Silverado consists of three main models: the 1500, the 2500, and the 3500. The smallest of the trucks—the 1500—is the lightest-duty Silverado but is still an exceptionally strong workhorse. The 3500 is a monster of a truck that can tow an incredible amount of weight, while the 2500 lies snugly between the two as a highly-capable go-getter.
The Silverado 1500 is the most popular version of the Silverado due to the versatility and capability of the truck. It is the most compact of the Silverados but still has several large engine options available. The towing and payload capacities are impressive for a truck of this size. Chevy provides many options for cab size, bed size, powertrain layout, and tech features, too. The ability to customize a Silverado so thoroughly allows every buyer to make the exact 1500 they need, as either their personal pickup or a company truck. It is no wonder that the Silverado has been improving in popularity over the decades.
The 2500 and 3500 belong to the Silverado HD Series, and the specs really prove "heavy-duty" to be the case. They can provide tens of thousands of pounds of towing might and yield thousands of pounds of payload capacity. Towing around building materials, machines, and big trailers requires a seriously powerful truck, which the Silverado HD Series is more than capable of. The 3500 is the no-compromise model for those who need performance above all else, while the 2500 has a balance of power and agility that lies somewhere between the 1500 and 3500. The 2500 can be a great choice for those who need more power than the 1500 but don't need a truck as large as the 3500.
The 2024 Silverado sees some good improvements over the 2023 model year. Most of these features are modifications of previous features and once-premier options only available on the highest trim packages. The 2.7L High-Output I-4 now features the TurboMax name, and the ZR2 has a newly available engine in the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6. The new Silverado also features a dual active exhaust with Sport mode included in the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, which allows you to tune the sound of your engine through the exhaust. The High Country trim package includes the Adaptive Cruise Control, and the base WT trim now includes front and rear park assist with its safety package. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto—as well as OnStar connectivity—are also now standard on the WT.
The 2024 Silverado has two new exterior color options in Lakeshore Blue Metallic and Slate Gray Metallic, both of which give Chevy buyers more of an opportunity for customization. The Blackout Appearance Package is now available on the Custom, Custom Trail Boss, RST, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2 trims; meanwhile, the Midnight Edition is now available on the High Country trim, which includes the new power-retractable sidebars in black with LED lighting. So the 2024 model year sees many improvements in styles, included features, and some improved options across trim packages.
At Blossom Chevy, we have a wide and varied selection of both new and used Silverados. We also have many Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) trucks available to take some of the risks out of buying used. Once approved, CPO Chevys are backed by a six-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 12-month or 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. This certification requires several things: first, that the model is 6 model years old or newer; second, that it has less than 75,000 miles on the odometer; and third, that it passes the 172-point inspection. Once it is certified, the purchaser inherits this generous warranty—protected as if their truck were new off the line and not only new to them. Since buying used is often a treacherous venture, given that used trucks have many unknown factors, buying CPO is a great way to mitigate risk.
If you are risk-averse or just like to get things brand-new, buying a truck fresh off the line will be the best way to go. Chevy prices its trucks competitively, so the value for your dollar will always be favorable. You'll get a lot of life out of a Chevy truck when it is well-maintained and cared for, and we love to help our customers find a great deal on their new truck, whether it be actually new or just new to them. Our used selection is solid, and these can often afford you an amazing deal. So whatever is in your budget, just come by and we'll see what we can do for you.
