Chevy gives this year’s market a solid option for a heavy-duty pickup, but describing the 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 as powerful would be an understatement. So many available trucks in this segment have strong engines, but what really stands out about the Silverado 3500 is its horsepower, torque, and towing capacity that are almost unbelievable.
1. Substantial Towing Capacity
Previous models of the Silverado 3500 had class-leading towing capabilities, but this year’s capacity puts this truck in a class of its own. By redesigning the suspension and wheel packaging, the 2021 Silverado 3500 can tow a jaw-dropping 36,000 pounds.
The maximum payload has also increased to nearly 7,500 pounds. Drivers can feel free to haul all of their heavy equipment and gear before they hit the road. Haul confidently knowing this truck can handle the toughest of challenges thanks to the high-strength steel used in its body and frame.
2. Advanced Trailering System
It can be a challenge for drivers to keep track of every angle while hauling cargo, and making a tow load safe and stable is not easy. Chevy’s Advanced Trailering System is a convenient way to keep drivers aware of how their load is faring. Through the truck’s infotainment system or through the Chevy mobile app, drivers can use a pre-departure checklist, check exterior lighting of the trailer, monitor trailer tire pressure, and so much more.
The stability control systems are an added bonus that take into account and adjust for any sway of the trailer. The tow/haul mode optimizes performance in a variety of situations and the auto grade braking helps heavy loads descend hills and mountain roads safely.
3. Multiple Camera Views
The 2021 Silverado 3500 is ahead of its time when it comes to technology. Drivers can gain information from up to 15 different camera views thanks to strategically placed sensors and cameras around the exterior of the vehicle.
Four of these views make it easy to connect a trailer and six of these views offer various angles to keep visibility high while moving. There is a front camera view and a rear camera view, as well as side, rear, and front top-down views that are especially useful when parking or navigating crowded areas.
4. Suite of Innovative Safety Features
The Silverado 3500 has many driver-assist features that drivers can take advantage of. In addition to multiple camera views, this pickup can be equipped with blind-spot monitoring, frontal collision alert, and other driver-favorites that help monitor and detect potential hazards.
Prospective buyers who are searching for a heavy-duty pickup that lives up to the highest of expectations will find the 2021 Silverado 3500 to be a smart choice.
