The Silverado has been a staple of Chevrolet’s lineup for nearly half a century. For 48 years, everyone from the blue-collar worker to the vacationer has found something in the Silverado for themselves. The coming year’s 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 has only improved.

Cabin Capacities and Dimensions

The 2024 Silverado 1500 can seat up to six people including the driver, and the total cargo volume is 62.90 cubic feet. The front seats offer 43.03 inches of headroom, 44.53 inches of legroom, 66.02 inches of shoulder room, and 61.18 inches of hip room. The rear seats offer passengers 40.12 inches of headroom, 43.40 inches of legroom, 65.16 inches of shoulder room, and 60.25 inches of hip room.

The Exterior

The rear bumper, front bumper, manual outside mirrors, and door handles are all black to match the finish on each of the blackwall tires, including the spare. The wheels are 17 inches and are steel painted with Ultra Silver for a sleek look. For ease of use, the cargo area has cab-mounted lamps, the Silverado comes with cargo tie-downs, and there is a CornerStep on the rear bumper to help you gain access into the cargo area.

The coming year’s Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has daytime running lamps, LED reflector headlamps, and IntelliBeam automatic headlights that will detect oncoming traffic and dim the high beams by themselves on your behalf. The windows, front windshield, and back windshield are all covered in solar-absorbing glass to keep the cabin cooler.

Mechanics and Capabilities

The 2024 Silverado 1500’s TurboMax™ engine grants the full-sized pickup truck 310 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and a whopping 430 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and has a 220-amp alternator with a rear axle ratio of 3.42. The Silverado’s Durabed is made with roll-formed steel of the highest strength. The Silverado’s base model comes standard with four-wheel drive, and the truck sits on a fully boxed frame.

Technology

At the driver’s seat, you can view your Silverado’s various gauges through your onboard 3.5-inch diagonal Driver Information Center screen. The cabin is surrounded by a six-speaker audio system with optimal speaker placement for the highest quality sound possible. All Silverado models come equipped with Chevrolet’s Connected Access capabilities, which include OnStar emergency services. You can opt for these services through a subscription.

The 2024 Silverado still promises drivers all the towing, hauling, and work truck power the brand’s customers are used to, but the newest Silverado adds plenty of peace-of-mind features for its drivers. Check out the Silverado 1500 in person with us here at Rio Vista Chevrolet today.
