If you’ve recently weighed the pros and cons of opting for a new pickup as your next vehicle and landed in favor of choosing one of these capable vehicles, your next step is to decide on the make and model of the truck you’re purchasing. Chevrolet has an impressive lineup of pickup trucks that includes the midsize Chevrolet Colorado, the half-ton Silverado 1500, and the Silverado heavy-duty models (2500 and 3500). All have a host of features, capabilities, and specifications that make them a great option on their own, and the Chevy brand has an overall appeal to truck shoppers for several reasons.
The first and most obvious reason to choose a Chevrolet model is its inherent capabilities. The Chevrolet lineup is filled with powerful models with impressive max-towing and payload capacities. For the 2024 model year, the Chevrolet Colorado’s max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds sits at the top of the mid-size truck segment, only matched by its corporate cousin, the GMC Canyon. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow more than 13,000 pounds, and the heavy-duty models can hitch more than 30,000 pounds of cargo to their rear bumpers.
All the Chevrolet truck models are available in one of the brand's off-road specific trim levels – the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison. These models have features that allow you to take your pickup truck far beyond the pavement and into the wilderness with ease. Key features include:
In addition, most ZR2 models feature underbody protection, like aluminum skid plates and large MT tires. Available underbody cameras make it easier for you to avoid obstacles on the trail. Even if you don’t opt for an off-road specific trim, the available off-road packages allow you to significantly improve your Chevy’s off-road capabilities.
Driving with a trailer isn’t always easy, but Chevrolet strives to make the driving experience more enjoyable for its drivers with the most advanced technology available. Chevrolet trucks and even a few SUVs are available with trailering technology that improve maneuverability, visibility, and trailer management. Some of the most impactful trailering technologies include:
These features are only a few of the technologies available to Chevrolet drivers. Use the in-vehicle trailering app to access a full list of trailering stats and features.
Chevrolet vehicles have a full set of standard safety features that include Chevy Safety Assist and Chevrolet Teen Driver Technology. In addition to these essential features, many Chevy trucks are available with cutting-edge technology like the Super Cruise – the first truly hands-free driving system available in the U.S. and Canada. The latest iteration of this technology features an available trailering mode as well as automatic lane change.
