Is the Silverado 1500 worth it over an F-150 or Ram 1500?

It matches or beats both on max tow rating and offers a strong diesel. The F-150 has more engine choices and the Ram rides better empty. Pick the Silverado if towing capacity and diesel mpg matter most.

How much can the Silverado 1500 tow and haul?

Up to 13,300 lbs of trailer and 2,260 lbs of payload, but only on specific configurations. Check the door-jamb sticker on the exact truck, since cab, bed, engine and axle ratio change the ratings.

What fuel economy does the diesel Silverado get?

The 3.0L Duramax diesel is rated at up to 28 mpg highway. Real-world owners often report mid-20s on highway trips, less when towing.

Will it fit in my garage?

Width with mirrors is 97.5 inches, so a standard 8-foot door is tight. Measure your opening and fold the mirrors; crew cab long-bed models are also very long.

What's included with the 13.4-inch touchscreen?

The large touchscreen and 12.3-inch driver display come on higher trims, not the base work truck. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included where the screen is fitted.

When is the Silverado 1500 cheapest?

Prices tend to drop at model-year clearance in late summer and fall, and during truck-month and holiday sales events. Compare trims and engine options before negotiating.

Our take on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup sold in regular, double and crew cab body styles with a choice of gas and Duramax diesel engines. Its headline numbers are a 13,300-lb max tow rating, 2,260-lb max payload and 495 lb-ft from the 3.0L diesel, which also returns up to 28 mpg highway. The cabin offers a 13.4-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver display on higher trims. Curb weight runs 4,410 to 5,710 lbs, and width with mirrors is 97.5 inches, so measure your garage and parking space before buying.
