The Innovative Multi-Flex Tailgate

First, it’s hard not to talk about the standout features of the Silverado 1500 and not include the Multi-Flex tailgate. This versatile tailgate, first making its debut in 2021, is one of the many features available for the Silverado, providing you with a better way to haul cargo in the back of the truck.

The Multi-Flex tailgate has six different functions. The first of these is called the Primary Gate Access. It is just like any other tailgate and can either be opened using the key fob from inside the truck or by pushing a button on the tailgate itself. It’s the other functions, however, that make it stand out against the rest. For instance, the Primary Gate Load Stop is the perfect choice when transporting cargo longer than the bed. With it engaged and the primary gate open, your load won’t slide out the back end. There’s also the Foldable Inner Gate, which gives you the ability to fold down the middle part of the primary gate for easier unloading and loading.

Even more access is offered when using the Full-Width Step to get into the back of the truck. This step has a maximum weight limit of 375 lbs. There is also an Inner Gate Load Stop that allows you to stack cargo higher without the fear of it falling out, and the Inner Gate Work Surface, which helps you make quick work of the day’s tasks, even when you’re on the go. You’ll also find an available built-in speaker contained within the tailgate, which is perfect for tailgating.

Towing Capacities and Trailering Enhancements

Functionality can also be found when exploring the Silverado’s towing capabilities. When it comes to towing, there are two factors to consider: maximum available trailering and maximum available payload. Maximum available trailering is the heaviest weight the Silverado can pull behind, including the weight of the trailer and its goods. The maximum possible payload, on the other hand, is the most weight it can hold, including you and your passengers and goods. Essentially, trailering capacity refers to the weight a vehicle can tow, whereas payload capacity refers to the weight it can support within its own structure.

With these two things in mind, the Silverado has a maximum trailering capacity of 13,300 lbs—when properly equipped—and a maximum payload capacity of 2,260 lbs. Those numbers are more than enough to transport whatever you need, from your ATV to your boat to work equipment and more. However, the numbers aren’t what makes the Silverado stand out when it comes to trailering. Rather, it’s the way you’re able to carry out the task.

One of the most dynamic features you’ll find available for the Silverado 1500 is Super Cruise. This hands-free driving system was added as an option when choosing the High Country trim during the 2022 model year. What’s even more significant is that you can access Super Cruise while trailering, which sets the Silverado apart from all other trucks in its class. This hands-free driving system is easy to use and is compatible with over 750,000 miles of roadway, including I-30 and I-45, plus many more in the Dallas area.

Other trailering features that make our “favorites” list include the ability to see everything you need to see while hauling. This is thanks to the eight available cameras that offer up to 14 views. Additionally, the available Trailering App lets you customize your specific trailer, gives you pre-departure checklists for added confidence on the road, and automatically monitors tire pressure. Plus, you’ll find driver assistance safety features when trailering as well, such as Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and more.

Technology to Keep You Connected Throughout Your Journey

In today’s digitally driven world, staying connected even when you’re on the road is key. Chevrolet understands this and has included features in the Silverado 1500 that not only meet but exceed expectations. It all starts with the infotainment system, which is part of Chevy’s Digital Infotainment System. The goal of this system is to provide you with access to the apps and information you need most, including real-time data, thanks to the customizable Driver Information Center.

The size and specific functions of this infotainment system depend on the year and trim level. For instance, the 2021 model year introduced a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with an eight-inch touchscreen in the top tiers. Newer models, however, offer a much larger touchscreen. Take the 2022 model, for example, which offers a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Additionally, perks like a Google-powered voice assistant and Alexa built-in are options found on Silverado models that debuted in the last couple of years. These additions make it easy to keep your to-do list organized as you head to the Dallas Zoo with the kids for the day.
