2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Pros: Top-notch interior in most trims; whisper-quiet diesel; useful MultiPro tailgate; SuperCruise availability; responsive handling Cons: Rougher ride than competitors; no hybrid or electric option (yet) The other American truck makers may still get more attention and accolades, what with their Raptors and Lightnings, TRXs and impressive coil-spring suspensions. There’s frankly more to get excited about. Yet, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a fine truck that, after scores of substantial updates two model years ago, is impossible to ignore. The Silverado may not offer a hybrid or all-electric version (yet), but its TurboMax and Duramax engines pack loads of torque and excellent fuel economy. It may not offer a high-powered desert runner, but the ZR2 is fully capable of getting very dirty. And while there aren’t as many luxury trim levels available as Ford and Ram offer, the Silverado’s handsome, well-constructed and tech-filled cabin is second-to-none in terms of equipment, quality and appearance. Actually, never mind the ritzy Silverado trim levels – even the LT volume-seller is now pretty great. Ultimately, there are definitely versions of rival trucks that are more distinctive, appealing and competitive than what the Silverado can manage. Its ride quality also leaves something to be desired. But if we’re talking volume-selling versions, the Silverado 1500’s high baseline of competence generally puts it neck-and-neck with its American competitors – and far afield of its Japanese ones. It just puts its head down and goes about its business. Many truck owners can probably relate.    Interior & Technology   |   Passenger & Cargo Space   |   Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive   |   Pricing & Trim Levels   |   Crash Ratings & Safety Features What's new for 2024?

The 6.2-liter V8 (what, couldn’t think of a “Max” name?) now includes an active dual exhaust with a sport mode. The Midnight Edition appearance package (which requires ordering a host of other equipment) is now available on the High Country in addition to the Custom Trail Boss and 2LT, though the High Country version gets black power assist steps with LED lighting. The Blackout appearance package expands beyond the Custom trims to the RST, LT Trail Boss and ZR2. People really love black car trim these days. Adaptive cruise control is now standard on the Highway Country, and OnStar and wireless Apple/Android connectivity is now standard on even the Work Truck. What are the Silverado interior and in-car technology like? There are two completely different interior designs. The Work Truck, Custom and Custom Trail Boss still have the ugly, half-hearted interior this generation of Silverado originally launched with, complete with 8-inch touchscreen (pictured above, bottom right). This is less of an issue at a lower price point and for trucks, like these trims levels, with a more rough-and-tumble purpose. All the upper trims get the interior design introduced …
