The 1500 is the lightest-duty pickup in Chevrolet's Silverado lineup, but it offers powerful performance and high-strength capabilities that rival its larger counterparts. From the versatile engine options to the Chevy Safety Assist package, we're exploring seven of the most interesting features of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. 7 Favorite Features of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 1. TurboMax Engine The standard engine on lower Chevy Silverado 1500 trims is a TurboMax engine that's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes Tow/Haul mode and powertrain-grade braking. This combination generates 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. 2. 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine The intense 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine comes standard on the ZR2 trim and is available for other Chevy Silverado 1500 trims. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, producing 305 horsepower at 3750 rpm and 485 lb.-ft. of torque at 2750 rpm. The 3.0L Duramax offers the most extreme towing capabilities for the 1500, boosting your maximum capacity to 13,300 pounds. 3. Under-Seat Storage You might think a pickup truck has little cabin space for cargo items, but that doesn't apply to the Chevy Silverado 1500. This pickup has an under-seat storage compartment beneath the front bench seat. Just lift the seat bottom to reveal a perfect space for first aid kits, work tools, travel essentials, and more! 4. Durabed The Chevy Silverado 1500 is popular among drivers who frequently haul large items and bulk materials. Thanks to the high-strength steel Durabed, you can haul anything in your Silverado 1500 without damaging your cargo bed. There are twelve cargo tie-downs that are rated at 500 pounds per corner to help secure your materials in place. 5. CornerStep Rear Bumper If you've ever lost your footing and slipped when climbing into your truck bed, you'll love the Chevy Silverado 1500 CornerStep rear bumper. The CornerStep rear bumper has hollow spaces located at each corner with textured foot pads inside. This provides more traction and stability when you're accessing cargo inside the bed. 6. Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 comes with a 7-inch color touchscreen ​for the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system. This system offers access to wireless smartphone integration, SiriusXM satellite audio, AM/FM radio, and more. Sync your phone to the truck for hands-free calling or enjoy the endless selection of music on SiriusXM! 7. Chevy Safety Assist The Silverado 1500 comes with Chevrolet's comprehensive driver-assistance package, Chevy Safety Assist. Chevy Safety Assist uses a combination of different functions to watch your surroundings and alert you to possible hazards before an accident occurs. This package includes Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, and more.

After returning from a decade-long break in 2019, the versatile and affordable Blazer goes electric for the 2024 model year. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV lineup features two trim levels and two drivetrains, so you can pick the right electric SUV configuration from your local Chevy dealership. Explore the Trim Levels of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV LT The entry-level LT trim offers futuristic styling and numerous creature comforts for an affordable price. It rides on 19-inch aluminum wheels with painted pockets, but you can opt for 22-inch Gloss Black wheels. It features body-color mirror caps, door handles, and a grille panel. The golden bowtie emblem and black door moldings contrast with the SUV's body for a bolder look. Evotex-trimmed front bucket seats and 60/40 split-folding rear seats with ample legroom are standard to accommodate five passengers. Single-zone automatic climate control maintains the desired cabin temperature. A clutter-free 11-inch driver information screen sits behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel and can be customized with five visual themes, including Driver Assistance, Map, and Clean. To add color to long road trips, the dashboard features a large 17.7-inch infotainment screen with wireless connectivity and several entertainment features. RS The top-of-the-line RS trim introduces a sporty look to the exterior. 21-inch aluminum wheels with black-painted pockets replace the base model's 19-inch ones, and the grille panel is clad in Gloss Black. The LED headlights are highlighted by an illuminated front light bar that flanks the available black bowtie emblem. The headlights and taillights feature animated lighting sequences that activate when approaching, walking away from the vehicle, and during charging. Building on the LT trim's interior, the RS adds luxurious perforated suede-trimmed seats with heating and power adjustment with driver memory for the first row. Dual-zone climate control is standard to let the driver and front passenger adjust their own comfort settings, and heated rear outboard seats are available to upgrade rear passenger comfort. Other amenities aboard the cabin include a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and ambient interior lighting. Drivetrain and Range Options Both trim levels are powered by an 85 kWh battery that supports 150 kW DC fast charging, but the range varies with your choice of drivetrain. If you prefer driving further on a single charge over having additional traction, the RWD configuration, producing 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, offers an outstanding 324 miles of electric range. Meanwhile, the AWD configuration produces 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque and offers 279 miles. Found the right trim level? Take it out for a spin to test its features!

The 2025 Chevy Trax stands out among other small SUVs due to its spaciousness and array of standard features. It delivers a pleasant and calm driving experience, and it has an attractive design on the inside as well as the outside. It's definitely worth taking it out for a test drive so you can explore it further. 6 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Chevy Trax 1. Standard Safety Suite Six standard safety features are ready to help you if you ever get into a sticky situation. Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Automatic Emergency Braking warn you of collisions and can actively help you prevent them. The IntelliBeam automatic high beams and the Following Distance Indicator are great tools that help you stay safer while they're in use. 2. Active Noise Cancellation When you take the Chevy Trax out for a test drive, be sure to listen closely to the cabin. You'll notice a quiet atmosphere with very little outside noise creeping in. This is because there's technology in the vehicle that blocks and absorbs unwanted noise, including vibrations. Microphones in the cabin work to pick up and then cancel out the unwanted noise to create the calm and comfortable cabin you deserve. 3. Excellent Infotainment The infotainment system in your Chevy Trax comes with some great, useful features such as Wi-Fi hotspot capability and a trial subscription to SiriusXM. You can wirelessly connect compatible smartphones to the infotainment system, and you can also wirelessly charge your phone in higher trims. There's one USB-C and one USB-A port on the instrument panel that help you and your passengers keep your phone charged. Higher trims have two charging-only ports on the back of the center console. 4. Wonderful Warmth Heated front seats are available on the base trim and standard on the 1RS and up. Having this feature available on the base trim makes the Chevy Trax unique, as you'll often see competitor vehicles only offering this feature on higher trims or, at the very least, from the second trim up. 5. HD Rear Vision Camera The standard HD rear vision camera makes backing up easier. You can easily see if there are any obstacles behind the vehicle, and you can gauge how close you are to walls or solid structures while backing into a parking space. The available Rear Cross Traffic Alert makes backing up even safer. 6. Space for Cargo The Chevy Trax has 25.6 cubic feet of room for cargo behind the second seat and 54.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the second row folded down. That's a lot of cargo space for a small SUV, and the fact that the cargo space more than doubles with the second row folded flat is excellent.
