​The Chevy Silverado is a truck that’s always been synonymous with hard work, getting things done, and a deep-rooted Americana culture. Dependable, reliable, and equipped to handle the toughest jobs, the Silverado nameplate burst onto the scene in the mid-1970s as a top trim level on all Chevrolet C/K trucks. By 1999, the standalone full-sized model took the US by storm. And now, for 2024, the all-new Silverado 1500 is poised to keep its reputation going. With formidable engine options, a heavy-duty chassis, and off-roading prowess, not to mention a luxurious interior and bold exterior, BZ Chevrolet is here to help you explore everything you need to know about the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. Let’s go!
Chevy Silverado Engine & Performance
With a range of engines from a turbocharged four-cylinder to a pair of V-8s and an all-new Duramax diesel, there is a Silverado 1500 trim guaranteed to compliment your lifestyle. The 6.2-liter V8 delivers a hefty 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of maximum torque and is standard across the Silverado lineup, including WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST and LT Trail Boss. (More on those later). In the 2024 model year, Chevrolet introduces the ZR2 variant, now equipped with the 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax turbodiesel engine. This powerful engine produces 305 horsepower and an outstanding 495 pound-feet of torque.
To enhance the Silverado’s performance capabilities, Torque-on-demand is delivered by the unique dual-volute turbocharger, which has priority oiling and cooling to help you quickly take on the most challenging jobs, whether you’re heading to the job site or the campsite.
Silverado 1500 Towing Capabilities
When paired with the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management or DuraMax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 engines, this powerful pickup can pull up to 13,300 lbs. Moreover, with the addition of advanced towing technologies, you can have confidence each time you hitch up. As for the tailgate, the Multi-Flex Tailgate provides six different functions to make loading, unloading, and accessing the cargo bed easier.
New for 2024, Ligonier drivers can now take advantage of Transparent Trailer View, which is available for conventional and fifth-wheel/gooseneck trailering. Additionally, you can benefit from other intelligent trailering technologies, such as the newly introduced Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering.
Style & Safety Features
With a range of color paint options, a body-color grille bar, and Gloss Black 18-inch AEV unique wheels, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado's rugged exterior starkly contrasts its luxury interior. Featuring leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, convenient storage, and ample seating space, your passengers will experience exceptional comfort during extended road trips. The vehicle also includes an impressive 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and an expansive center touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and functions as a mobile hotspot.
Every 2024 Silverado 1500 also comes with several standard advanced safety and driver assistance features designed to help give you added confidence every time you hit the road, including automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and lane departure warning.
