We did a full review on the redesigned Silverado a couple years back. You can check that out here. But there are some new things to talk about on the Silverado.

First and foremost, the multi-flex tailgate is an option new to the Silverado. People think this thing, with six unique functions, is so interesting that a video of it we put on Instagram might be our most-watched post ever. This Swiss Army Knife of tailgates is admittedly pretty boss. It makes loading a ton easier for starters. Paired with the Silverado Durabed, you get LED lighting, a 120v outlet, and 12 tie-downs.

So, that’s for your payload, but the Silverado also gets improved trailering capacity on the 2.7-liter turbo engine to the tune of 9300 pounds. That’s 2500 more than it got before. On a new Regular Cab Long Box model that number gets even higher (9,600 lbs towing) The 3-liter Duramax diesel, like this one I’m driving, gets an additional 1900 pounds (graphic: 9,500 lbs towing). Incidentally, that Duramax is also $1,500 cheaper than last year’s model. So more capability for less money. That’s just smart math, people.

Towing all that stuff also gets a bit easier with some new camera angles to watch whatever it is you’ve got back there. And there’s advanced tech like a trailer length indicator that helps you change lanes, a jack-knife alert, and the rear trailer view now features guidelines and a trailer angle indicator.

Also on the safety tip, the Safety Confidence Package is available on the Work Truck, Custom, and Custom Trail Boss models. That includes forward-collision warnings, Automatic emergency braking, and front pedestrian braking.

Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on the LTZ and High Country Trims. It’s available on everything below that.

The highest High Country now gets GMs Adaptive Ride Control with active dampers and sensors to notice bumps in the road and adjust them when needed. It’s kind of a shame that the adaptive suspension doesn’t come on lower trims because it would make the ride more comparable to the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150.

Incidentally, those competitors are upping the ante all the time, so it’s no surprise that Chevy is trying to keep lockstep with them.

Pricing starts on the Silverado at $28,900. We already thought this truck’s previous improvements were pretty good. These newbies make the Chevy Silverado even more compelling. And we’ll check in again when we’ve got more to talk about.
