Add bed lighting and the available 120-volt outlet to keep productivity high after dark.

Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, HD Surround Vision on select configurations, and Adaptive Cruise Control contribute to a calmer drive. When the weather turns, the available all-terrain tires on certain packages and the selectable drive modes help tailor traction to conditions without fuss. It is the right blend of premium and purposeful—exactly what a range-topping Silverado should be.
