Trim Levels

Diversity defines the Chevrolet Silverado lineup, with a spectrum of options available for different drivers. What’s unique about each trim? Let’s look closer.

WT

This economical option has what you need to do your job. It focuses on essential functionality without additional frills. The WT trim level features available rubberized vinyl floors, black bumpers, cargo tie-downs, a 40/20/40-split front seat with under-seat storage, Chevy Safety Assist, and USB ports.

Custom

The Custom trim builds on the WT’s foundation, enhancing aesthetics and functionality. Like the WT, it features the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a 7-inch touch-screen display. It has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 20-inch Bright Silver aluminum wheels, and a tailgate with EZ Lift assist and power lock and release. This trim also comes standard with the Trailering Package, which includes a trailer hitch, a trailering hitch platform, a 2-inch receiver hitch with four- and seven-pin connectors, a seven-wire electrical harness and seven-pin sealed connector, and hitch guidance.

LT

The LT trim level is where the 2024 Silverado really starts to show its tech-oriented prowess. This trim features a 13.4-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system with Google built-in and a 12.3-inch driver information center. You also get 17-inch aluminum wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar. Like the Custom trim level, the LT also includes the Trailering Package as standard fare.

RST

The 2024 Silverado’s exterior gets a slight update with the RST trim. It offers all the same technological goodies as the LT but has 18-inch aluminum wheels and a rear window defogger. The most dramatic change over the other trims is that the RST sports a more aggressive exterior with a black bowtie front grille.

Custom Trail Boss

The Custom Trail Boss trim level offers many of the standard Custom trim’s features but adds a Z71 suspension with a 2-inch factory lift. It also comes with aggressive-looking 18-inch High-Gloss Black aluminum wheels and cargo bed LED lighting.

LT Trail Boss

The LT Trail Boss trim ups the ante with features. In addition to all the goodies the LT offers, you also get the same Z71 suspension with a 2-inch lift and 18-inch High-Gloss Black aluminum wheels as the Custom Trail Boss. The LT Trail Boss takes it a step further with heated driver and front outboard passenger seats and a heated steering wheel. The Convenience Package also comes standard on this trim level, which features remote start, second-row USB ports, a 120-volt interior power outlet, and a 120-volt bed-mounted power outlet.

LTZ

The LTZ builds upon the previous trim levels and adds a power up-and-down tailgate, 20-inch Sterling Silver wheels, ventilated front bucket seats, and rubberized vinyl floor mats. The LTZ also adds the Safety Package as a standard package, which includes HD Surround Vision, Trailer Camera Provisions, Trailer Side Blind-Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Braking, and several other high-tech safety features.

High Country

The High Country is one of the most luxurious trucks you can buy. With 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with Charcoal pockets, heated and ventilated front seats, a power-sliding rear window, wireless charging, and a whole suite of safety features, you can’t go wrong with the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado High Country.

ZR2

If you’re looking for the top-of-the-line Silverado, look no further than the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2. This trim has all the innovative technology and powerful off-roading capabilities you want. It gets its name from the standard ZR2 Suspension Package, which includes a high-performance lifted suspension and Multimatic DSSV dampers. The ZR2 comes standard with a 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine, but a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 is also available. It features an electronic transmission range selector, skid plates, 18-inch wheels with Oxide Gold outer ring accents, and all the technology the lower trim levels feature.

Performance

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado features as many drivetrain options as it does trim levels. You’ll want to keep a few things in mind when shopping for your Silverado. Most trims are available in both two- and four-wheel drive, except for the Trail Boss and ZR2 trims, which only come with four-wheel drive. Depending on the trim level, you can select from a range of engine options, including the following:

• TurboMax engine: 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
• 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8: 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque.
• 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel: 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque.
• 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8: 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.

Your truck will have an eight- or 10-speed transmission, depending on the engine.
