#1) TurboMax Takes It to the Limit!

Chevy has equipped many trims of the 2024 Silverado 1500 with its 2.7-liter TurboMax—and this four-cylinder engine packs quite a punch. With its eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2024 Silverado 1500’s TurboMax provides incredible performance without hitting you in the wallet whenever you fill the gas tank.

The TurboMax comes standard on the WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss trims of the Silverado 1500. This engine has a dual-volute turbocharger that delivers the torque you need on demand. It’s a cast aluminum engine with a dual overhead camshaft configuration (DOHC) with four valves per cylinder, and it uses direct high-pressure fuel injection to deliver 310 hp at 5600 RPM and 430 lb-ft of torque at 1500-4000 RPM.

This is the kind of performance you usually see in bigger engines. Best of all, you can get up to 22 MPG in highway driving with a 2024 Silverado 1500 if you choose this engine with rear-wheel drive. As we said, your wallet will fall in love with this engine.

#2) Three Other Exceptional Engines

One awesome aspect of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the multitude of options you have to make it your own. Chevy understands that each driver is different. If you plan to use your Silverado for work, then you need to get the most out of its towing and hauling capabilities. Other drivers might want to use their truck for a family vehicle, so acceleration and fuel economy may drive you in a different direction, which is why Chevy offers this truck with three other engine options, each paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

The 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 comes standard on the LTZ and High Country trims while providing an option for drivers who choose the WT, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, or LT Trail Boss. This larger engine features two valves per cylinder and variable valve timing to improve efficient performance. As a result, it can provide an output of up to 355 hp at 5600 RPM and 383 lb-ft of torque at 4100 RPM. The Silverado 1500 with this engine is surprisingly fuel efficient, able to get up to 21 MPG in highway driving with rear-wheel drive.

The largest engine available on the 2024 Silverado 1500 is a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8. It is an option on four-wheel drive versions of the High Country, ZR2, RST, LT Trail Boss, and LTZ trims. It utilizes variable valve timing while producing 420 hp at 5600 RPM and 460 lb-ft of torque at 4100 RPM; this is the most horsepower available on any of the four engines.

Chevy also offers a turbo-diesel engine on the 2024 Silverado 1500—a 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 that is standard on the ZR2, though you can choose this engine as an option on most other trims. It uses high-pressure common-rail fuel injection to deliver 305 hp at 3750 RPM and 495 lb-ft of torque at 1500 RPM; as a result, you get a truck that is powerful and also gets great fuel economy—an amazing 27 MPG in highway driving on four-wheel drive models.

#3) Three Different Cab Styles

One of the other ways that Chevy lets you configure a 2024 Silverado 1500 is by providing you with a choice of three different cab styles. If you want to use your truck primarily for work, you can opt for a regular cab on most Silverado 1500s; this has two doors and one row of seats, reducing the vehicle’s weight and increasing the towing and hauling capacity of your truck. In addition, 2024 Silverado 1500s with a regular cab are more affordable than ones with double or crew cabs, and these savings can be put back into your business.

If you need a little more passenger space, you can choose a Silverado 1500 with a double cab, which boasts two rows of seats, so you can fit up to five passengers in your truck. The double cab is a best-of-both-worlds approach, as it increases the seating capacity on your Silverado 1500 without impacting its towing and hauling capabilities too much.

The largest cab on the 2024 Silverado 1500 is the crew cab, which has two rows of seats but delivers more legroom than the double cab. In fact, the legroom increases from 35.2 inches in the back row to 43.4 inches. This is the configuration to choose if you intend to use your Silverado 1500 at least part of the time as a family vehicle. As its name suggests, you can fit the whole crew in a Silverado 1500 with a crew cab.

#4) Hit the Trails in an Off-Road Model

One of the greatest things about living in the Hudson River Valley is the easy access to all the great parks and trails nearby. However, if you intend to go off-roading, you need to have a truck capable of handling the challenges of these trails. If you decide on a 2024 Silverado 1500, there are a number of trims and packages available that will give you equipment like skid plates, tow hooks, and locking rear differentials, which will make your truck off-road-capable.

The ZR2, LT Trail Boss, and Custom Trail Boss trims have all been designed for off-roading. These have the gear you need with the factory lift you desire to get you around the trails safely. If you decide you like another trim, you can also opt for one of the Z71 off-road packages that will add the features and equipment you need to handle off-roading. If you like to push things to the limit, you can opt for the ZR2 Bison special edition, which has practically every off-road feature you can imagine.

#5) Towing and Hauling Capabilities

No matter which trim, engine, and cab style you choose on your 2024 Silverado 1500, you will get a truck with exceptional towing and hauling capabilities. The key is deciding on what you need to get from your truck. If you plan on carrying a great deal of weight in your payload bed, you can choose one with the 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, which can carry up to 2,260 lbs. In addition, Chevy gives you a choice of three different payload bed sizes, as well as equipment to improve cargo hauling, like the Multi-Flex tailgate.

If you need towing heavy trailers, your best bet is a Silverado 1500 with either a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 or a 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6. These engines increase the trailering capacity on this truck to a very impressive 13,300 lbs. Just like with the cargo bed options, Chevy offers plenty of towing gear—like specialized hitches—to increase your trailering ability.

#6) Special Editions You’ll Fall in Love With

In addition to the Z71, Chevy offers a number of great packages and special editions for you to choose from. These will let you further customize your Silverado 1500 so you can truly make it your own.

Two of our favorite special setups are the Midnight Edition and the Blackout Appearance Package, which take the color black to another level with specialized badging, interior trimming, and exterior features. The Midnight Edition is available on the High Country, Custom Trail Boss, and LT Trail Boss, while the Blackout Appearance Package can be added to the Custom, Custom Trail Boss, RST, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2 trims.
