The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the perfect vehicle for all your hauling needs. Complete with loads of safety and security features, it is equipped with everything you need and want while out on the road. Here are four things that you will love about the new Chevy Silverado:

1. Towing Ability

With 13,300-lbs of towing capacity, the newly redesigned Chevy Silverado will make towing troubles a thing of the past. The 10-speed transmission and V8 engine combined with MaxTrailering Package give all the towing power you’ll ever need. 

Additionally, the improved rear suspension and increased torque and horsepower ups the ante for power and control. With the truck jam-packed with features, you will be hitching up your campervan or boat and setting off for an adventure before you know it. 

2. Trailering Features

Chevy’s Advanced Trailering System perfects your trailering experience by reducing risk and the potential for damage. The System monitors tire pressure, light function, and trailer angle, while the eight cameras onboard show you all angles and help you hitch the trailer smoothly. The Jack-Knife Alert feature reduces even more risk by alerting you to a potential jack-knife situation before it occurs, while the Tow/Haul mode protects the transmission by evening out the transitions and reducing the need for maintenance. 

Safety isn’t the only thing that Chevrolet thought about when making the new 2021 Silverado. The Trailer Theft Alert System provides security. If an attached trailer is disconnected, an alarm and the horn will sound, along with you being notified by the myChevrolet app. The app also comes in handy if you regularly haul different trailers. It allows you to create custom profiles for different trailers, setting up the hitch type, brake gain, maintenance reminder, and other aspects.

3. Truck Bed Size

The 89.1 cubic feet of truck bed space means you won’t have any trouble fitting in all your gear and work materials. The 12 cargo tie-downs will stop things from moving around in the back as you drive, and the roll-formed high-strength steel used will ensure the truck bed will remain free from damage.  

If you work at night, it will now be made easier thanks to the in-built LED lights. Located on the corner pillars, the cab, and above the hitch, the entire scene will provide enough light to pack or unpack the bed or work in it. Also adding to the functionality, the Multi-Flex Tailgate can be folded into six different forms, giving you two alternate work surfaces, a step into the bed, or slide-stoppers for long items.

4. Communication and Entertainment Integration

Connecting your phone to your car will now be a breeze with the newly integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay features. The simple connection process makes it easy to take the incoming phone call quickly or to put on a song. An integrated 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot (data service plans available for purchase) allows you to work from your car while out and about. 

The myChevrolet Mobile App adds more functionality to the truck with it being able to be used as a remote control for your car. With it, you can unlock and lock the car as well as start and stop it by voice. Checking the truck’s tire pressure, oil life span, and fuel range can all be done through the app as well.
