2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

雪佛兰整个年代提供了足够的引擎ilverado 1500 pickup line to cater to just about every need. Starting off the selection is a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, all of which is managed by a 6-speed automatic transmission. There is also a 355-hp, 383-lb-ft 5.3-liter V8: when paired with the active fuel management system, it gets the 6-speed auto, while an 8- or 10-speed automatic is available if you opt for the dynamic fuel management system. Further along in the line you get a 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder motor that produces up to 310 hp and 348 lb-ft. Power is modulated by an 8-speed auto. With 420 hp and 460 lb-ft, the 6.2-liter V8 is the most powerful engine in the range and comes standard-fit with a 10-speed auto. For an optimal balance between performance and efficiency, there's a 3.0-liter V6 turbo-diesel motor that spits out 277 hp and 460 lb-ft and comes paired with a 10-speed automatic. In most models, power can be sent to either a rear-wheel drivetrain or all-wheel-drivetrain, the latter coming standard on the Trail Boss models.

In terms of performance, all of the powertrains provide more than enough grunt for pleasant daily driving and light work, with only the V6 exhibiting some noticeable strain under a full load. When properly equipped, the 6.2-liter V8-equipped Double Cab Silverado 1500 with 4WD is availed with a 13,300-pound towing capacity.

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 isn't a perfect car, but it impresses in many of the right ways. All of the powertrains are competent and fairly refined, and there are gas, diesel, and even turbocharged options to choose from. The Silverado is not the most polished cruiser on the road, but it's still pleasant enough for daily driving. In the proper configuration, the Silverado 1500 pickup truck also delivers some pretty decent off-roading potential. Chevrolet presents several cab configurations and bed lengths, too, which means buyers can design a Silverado 1500 that perfectly fits their needs. Whatever the case, the Silverado 1500 pickup is a capable workhorse that can carry oodles of cargo on board and drive with plenty in tow. Chevrolet could certainly make some improvements to its truck's crashworthiness for a better safety rating, however, as both the NHTSA and the IIHS's review of the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 return mediocre results. The automaker also doesn't have the best reputation for reliability. Nevertheless, the truck continues to perform confidently alongside its respected competitors, the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500, and is certainly worth considering.

With the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck's price ranging between $30,000 and $60,000 between eight trim levels, choosing which model to go for will really come down to your personal requirements and budget. If you're an avid off-roader, the Custom Trail Boss is a good option as one of the more affordable trims that sports a more adventurous aesthetic and comes equipped with the Z71 off-road package, Autotrac two-speed transfer case, and the heavy-duty automatic locking rear differential. If you're more into just the commanding presence of pickup trucks and would prefer something that prioritizes comfort and convenience, then the LT is the go-to trim. Option it with the CrewCab body config for a dashing 4-door truck with a spacious cabin.
