If you want the improved fuel economy around Cary matched with towing and hauling power, the 305-horsepower turbodiesel will be a great engine choice. It can tow up to 13,300 pounds yet still gets up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway. If you prefer raw power and acceleration, you can choose one of the two V8 engine models with 355 and 420 horsepower, respectively. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower is another engine choice. Each option, except the four-cylinder engine, is paired with a 10-speed transmission. The four-cylinder has an eight-speed transmission. Four-wheel drive is available at each trim model level.

Trailering technology is king with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for your drives around Raleigh and beyond. There is a blind-zone alert that works around the sides of your trailer. A sway control system provides braking if the trailer begins to sway too much. There is also a hill start assistance function to provide more power boost at the start of a hill. For the other side of the hill, there is a hill descent control system as well.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a unique tailgate with an outer and inner portion. The inner portion allows it to become a step into the cargo bed. The inner portion can also keep items in the bed when the outer portion is down or when items in the bed are beyond the height of the tailgate. The cargo bed comes with 12 tie-downs.

A semi-autonomous driving mode is available for hands-free driving on certain portions of the highway. The multimedia screen starts standard at 12 inches and has Google built right in. A 360-degree camera system helps you see every angle around your Silverado 1500.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes standard with numerous safety features. There is an indicator that advises you of your following distance. A frontal collision avoidance system provides a warning and braking as needed. A lane-keeper will warn you if you leave the lane stripes without a turn signal. Automated high beams can sense when there is no oncoming car after dark and turns the high beams on. The beams are automatically dimmed when an oncoming vehicle is present.
