WC-2016 Silverado 1500For Chevy’s light duty Silverado 1500, slight exterior changes have been made including a redesigned hood and lights. Available features such as chrome and LED lighting are there for those who want it, and additional safety technologies such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist and IntelliBeam high beam assist.

The tech gets boosted for the 2016 Silverado 1500 as Apple CarPlay and the just-confirmed Android Auto will be available on more Chevys than any other brand — and that includes the 1500 and HD lines. Other available convenience features for the new model year include a remote locking tailgate and wireless phone (available on LT and LTZ double cab and crew cab models with available bucket seats).

Under the hood, three advanced EcoTec engines are available for the 1500. Whether you choose the standard V6 or upgrade to the 5.3-liter for 6.2 V8, you will have either the best torque (V6), fuel efficiency (5.3-L) or towing (6.2-L) compared to other same-sized engines in its class.

The 1500’s big brothers have some changes up their sleeves for 2016 as well. While the 1500 saw a style upgrade for next year, the new heavy duty Silverados at Jim Butler Chevrolet upped their game with enhanced equipment. Tougher jobs are now made easier thanks to the help of some improvements and new features on the 2016 Silverado 2500 and 3500.
