Its crew cab layout, power driver seat, and integrated bed power outlet appeal to those seeking both comfort and practical solutions for professional or recreational use.This truck utilizes a 2.7L Turbo I4 engine producing 310 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive for optimal simplicity and longevity. The Silverado’s powertrain is recognized for its ability to exceed 150,000 miles with routine care. Its 3.42 rear axle ratio supports both daily driving and towing demands, while offering an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 21 mpg highway efficiency for the segment.Ongoing value is reinforced by a suite of active safety features designed to protect both occupants and your investment. Key systems include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and a HD Rear Vision Camera. These technologies help minimize accident risk and potential repair costs over years of use, enhancing overall cost control.The Custom trim brings convenience and utility-focused packages, such as the Custom Convenience and Custom Value Packages, delivering benefits like remote keyless entry, a 10-way power driver seat with lumbar, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and dual 120-volt power outlets.
