Powertrain and performance
- Engine: EcoTec3 5.3L V8 producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. This Gen III-style small block features a combination of direct injection, variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation (Active Fuel Management) to balance performance with efficiency.
- Transmission: Smooth-shifting automatic transmission engineered to work with the 5.3L V8 for confident acceleration, towing and everyday drivability.
- Capabilities: The Z71 designation brings an off-road-oriented suspension tune and hardware to enhance traction and control off the pavement; the platform also includes trailer-oriented electronics and cooling components to support towing duties. Trailer sway mitigation, stout brakes and drivetrain cooling are engineered to make trailering straightforward when properly equipped.

Exterior
- Paint: Deep Ocean Blue Metallic — a deep, lustrous blue finish that presents cleanly and resists showing light road wear when properly maintained.
- Z71 styling and protection: The Z71 package adds distinctive off-road styling cues and protective hardware — these elements help identify the truck’s capability while also providing practical protection under the chassis and around the lower body.
- Bed protection: A drop-in bedliner provides rigid protection for the bed floor and sides against cargo abrasions, impact and corrosion; integrated tie-down points help secure loads.
- Lighting and trim: The Silverado’s front fascia and available fog lights provide clear roadway illumination, while tasteful chrome or body-accent trim give the truck a purposeful, yet refined look.

Interior and comfort
- Interior color: Jet Black — a durable, easy-to-maintain interior that complements the exterior finish.
- Seating: Front 40/20/40 split-bench with leather-appointed surfaces. The split-bench design offers flexible seating and storage configurations — the center section folds down to create an armrest with beverage holders and a secure storage surface when not used as a seat.
- LT Convenience Package: This package brings upgraded comfort and everyday convenience features designed to make life behind the wheel easier — enhanced seating adjustability and thoughtful storage solutions are typical elements of this package.
- Tilt and telescoping steering column: Provides a broad range of steering wheel position adjustment so drivers of varied sizes can quickly find an ergonomic driving position.
- All-weather floor liners: Heavy-duty liners protect the vehicle’s carpeting from mud, snow, sand and spills; they are contoured to fit the cabin and are easy to remove and clean.
- Practical storage: Multiple cabin storage spots include a large center console area (or center seat/console configuration), door pockets and map pockets to keep gloves, paperwork and personal items organized.

Technology and connectivity
- 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen Chevrolet MyLink audio system: This generous display hosts stereo controls, phone pairing, USB and auxiliary inputs, and many of the infotainment functions you use every day. Hands-free Bluetooth streaming and voice recognition enable safer operation of phone and audio features while driving.
- Audio and media: AM/FM radio, available satellite radio compatibility (SiriusXM), USB port(s) for device charging and media playbac
