Step inside the Silverado 1500 to find a cabin designed for comfort and versatility. Imagine starting a weekend camping trip, settling into available heated or perforated leather seats while the optional heated steering wheel warms your hands on chilly drives.
Depending on the trim you choose, your Silverado 1500 will feature one of three cab sizes: Regular Cab models seat three, while the spacious Double Cab and Crew Cab models accommodate six--perfect for friends or coworkers.
Paired with most trim levels, the 40/20/40 split-bench front seat offers under-seat storage for tools or snacks, while the 60/40 split-folding rear bench lets you carry larger items, whether it's lumber for a project or extra camping gear. In the Silverado 1500, every drive becomes an enjoyable experience, whether for work or play.

Select trims also include wireless charging in the centre console, allowing you to power your smartphone cord-free.
Every trip, whether for work or pleasure, deserves its own soundtrack. The available Bose® Premium Sound System will enhance your preferred on- or off-road playlist. Expertly crafted speakers are strategically placed throughout the cabin, offering high-quality audio to make you think you've scored front-row tickets to your favourite band.
Of course, when you're behind the wheel, the most important technologies are those that help keep you safe. The Silverado 1500 provides plenty of protection with its Chevrolet Safety Assist, which often includes features like Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and more.
As you know, towing involves much more than hitching up a trailer and going. That's why Chevrolet offers a variety of available driver-assistance systems. Among them are Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, cameras with up to 14 views, and the in-vehicle Trailering App, which includes pre-departure checklists, trailer tire pressure monitoring, maintenance reminders, and more.
When equipped, Super Cruise™ hands-free driving is available on more than 640,000 kilometres (400,000 miles) of compatible roads and handles speed and steering, even with a trailer attached, when those kilometres have taken their toll.
