The
WT (Work Truck) ($28,600) is pretty much as basic as you can get in a modern truck. It comes with 17-in steel wheels, automatic headlights, a corner bed step, manual windows and door locks (regular cab models) or power windows and locks (extended and crew cabs), a rearview camera, a 40/20/40-split front bench with 4-way adjustment, a tilt-only steering wheel, vinyl upholstery and flooring. Still, all models come with a 7-in touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, one USB port, and a 6-speaker sound system (two speakers in regular cab). Newly available on the WT is the Safety Confidence package that adds forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking. Unless you’re a fleet buyer, you’ll probably want to add power windows, door locks, and remote start if you go with the regular cab. Note that this is the only 2021 Silverado available with a regular cab. All other trims have either a double cab or the roomier crew cab. Double cab models have a standard bed, while crew cab models offer a choice of standard or short bed. The long bed is only available with the regular cab. The
Custom ($35,900) adds 20-in alloy wheels, heated power mirrors, cruise control, cloth upholstery, and carpeting. New for 2021, Custom trims include the EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate, LED bed lights, remote start, and available satellite radio and OnStar telematics system. Custom trims also offer the Safety Package The
Custom Trail Boss ($40,800) has 4WD standard and adds a 2-in suspension lift, Rancho monotube shocks, special 18-in wheels, Goodyear Duratrac all-terrain tires, and a trailering package, plus the Z71 Off-Road package that includes a 2-speed transfer case, automatic locking rear differential, hill-descent control, and skid plates. The
LT ($39,600) includes 17-in alloy wheels and adds automatic LED headlights, automatic climate control, OnStar, and 4G LTE with Wi-Fi, Trailering Package, and auto-locking rear differential. The
RST ($43,200) adds 18-in wheels, LED foglights, a power-locking tailgate, keyless ignition and entry, and two extra rear USB ports. The
LT Trail Boss ($48,000) builds on the LT’s features with the off-roading equipment from the Custom Trail Boss. It shares the RST’s upgrades as well. The
LTZ ($49,100) has more premium amenities such as leather seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, a heated tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, 8-in touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, high-def rearview camera with hitch guidance, heated side mirrors, 120-volt outlets, and integrated trailer brake controller. The
High Country ($53,400) adds parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, upgraded digital gauges, a power tailgate, ventilated front seats, navigation, Bose audio, navigation, wireless smartphone charging, and a spray-in bedliner. Options and packages abound for the Silverado and vary by trim and configuration. Among them are navigation and 8-in touchscreen, a slick multicamera trailering system that even gives views inside and behind the trailer, wireless phone charger, and active safety and driver-assistance systems. For the first time, High Country models can be had with Adaptive Ride Control, a sophisticated suspension system. A new feature that could prove popular is the Multi-Flex Tailgate, similar to the GMC Sierra’s MultiPro tailgate. This is to be available in early 2021 on all Silverado models.
