2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Model Review - Austin, TX

What's New for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV?

For 2024, the Chevy Silverado gets a minor makeover with some cool upgrades. Gearheads will appreciate the new active exhaust system that gives the 6.2L V8 a more aggressive growl in sport mode. Chevy also expands its style options with two fresh metallic paint colors and a Midnight Edition for the luxurious High Country trim. The technology also receives a bump, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all Silverado models, including the base Work Truck. Finally, the base 4-cylinder engine gets a new name: say hello to the "TurboMax."

Performance

The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a variety of engine options to suit different needs. Whether you prioritize power, torque, or efficiency, there's a Silverado for you.

The Duramax turbodiesel delivers impressive torque for effortless hauling. Even the base 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder offers surprising muscle, making it a capable choice for daily commutes or lighter tasks.

For those who like to get off of the beaten path, the Trail Boss model boasts a 2-inch lift and aggressive tires for enhanced off-road capability. And for tackling the most extreme terrain, the range-topping ZR2 is a separate, even more capable option.

The Silverado also impresses with its towing capacity, which is a maximum of 13,300 pounds when equipped with the 6.2L V8. Even with the 5.3L V8, you can still tow up to 11,500 pounds. This combination of power, capability, and available engine options makes the 2024 Silverado a compelling choice for drivers needing a truck that can handle work and weekend adventures.
