Configurations on Configurations
To get an understanding of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500, it is useful to learn about the different configurations available on the truck. Chevy offers the Silverado 1500 with three different types of cabs. These cabs are the regular cab, a two-door model with one row of seats and a three-passenger capacity, the double cab, with two full-size doors and two half-doors with two rows of seats, and the crew cab, which has four full-size doors and two rows of seats.
The Silverado 1500 also has two types of payload beds. The standard box measures 157 inches (157.1 inches on the Trail Boss models), while the short box measures 147.4 inches (147.5 inches on the Trail Boss). The standard box will probably be preferable if you plan on hauling longer objects, while the Silverado with the short box will be easier to maneuver. But with all of this said and done, the Silverado 1500 has a lot to offer in terms of configuration.
Trims and More Trims
Keeping up the trend of a million and one options, the 2021 Chevy Silverado comes in a plethora of trims. This pickup has a base MSRP of $28,600, which will get you behind the wheel of a Work Truck trim. This will be ideal if you plan on using your truck for work, but if you want more, you should consider some of the other trims on offer. The next model up from the Work Truck is the Custom, which adds cruise control and an EZ Lift power lock, and a release tailgate.
This trim is followed by the LT, which has an MSRP of $39,600 and adds Chevrolet OnStar & Connected Services, and chrome bumpers to the Silverado 1500. The next option, the RST trim, includes a keyless remote starter and LED fog lamps for an MSRP of $43,900. Next, the LTZ has an MSRP of $49,100 and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the truck’s Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, 20-inch polished wheels, a leather interior and seats, and a high definition rearview camera with a hitch guidance control. The top-of-the-line High Country trim really has it all with a Bose premium audio system and navigation on the Infotainment 3 system, adaptive ride control, 22-inch wheels, and high-intensity headlines.
Chevy also offers the Silverado Custom and LT in Trail Boss editions, which are 4-wheel drive only and feature 20-inch black wheels with Goodyear Territory MT tires. Finally, if you are interested in taking your truck off-road, you should consider getting your 2021 Silverado with the optional Z51 package. This includes an automatic locking rear differential and hill-descent control to improve the off-road capabilities of your Silverado 1500. Chevy has also added three new packages, the All-Star Edition Plus, Texas Edition Plus, and the LTZ Premium Texas Edition. It is safe to say, with all of these options, you are sure to come across the perfect Silverado 1500 for you.
