Meet The Ultimate Pickup Truck

The Chevrolet Silverado combines luxury with payload and power. It’s a consistent favorite among full-size pickups because it’s equally at home as a work truck, exploring the outdoors, or driving your family to a soccer game.

Chevrolet Silverado Features and Specifications

Let’s look at the Silverado’s fuel economy, trim packages, and other specs.

Silverado Trim Packages

The Chevrolet Silverado comes in the following trim package options:

1. WT is the base trim, featuring Durabed, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility, and an optional 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 engine with Active Fuel Management.
2. The Custom trim adds to the WT with deep-tinted glass, signature LED taillamps, and a 2.7L Turbo engine.
3. Silverado Custom Trail Boss is an off-road-oriented trim that includes a Z71 Off-Road Package, a 2-inch factory suspension lift, and an Autotrac 2-speed transfer case.
4. The LT trim upgrades to an 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen, LED headlamps, and a 2.7L Turbo engine.
5. The Chevrolet Silverado RST trim adds keyless open and start, LED cargo area and fog lamps, and an EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate.
6. The LT Trail Boss is similar to the Custom Trail Boss, but this trim adds features like the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine with Dynamic Fuel Management, and dual-outlet exhaust with polished tips.

Chevrolet Silverado Fuel Economy: 17-21 MPG

The Silverado’s fuel economy depends on engine size, drivetrain, transmission, and trim package, but it averages 17 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.

Silverado mileage depends on how and where you drive. Driving too fast, accelerating quickly, carrying a lot of weight, and going off-road all reduce fuel efficiency. Your Silverado will get better gas mileage if you take care of it and drive it carefully.
