Like with most other trucks, it's important to first determine the bed and cab configuration before deciding on which trim level is right for you. The 2021 Silverado 1500 is available as a two-door, four-door extended cab, and four-door crew cab. The bed configurations include an 8-foot, 6.5-foot, and a 5-foot, 8-inch. There are also four different engine configurations, starting with a 4.3-liter V6 all the way up to a turbocharged diesel engine. The base Silverado 1500 WT doesn’t have too many features but does come standard with smartphone integration and power windows.

The highest trim level available for the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the High Country model, which mainly adds more luxury-based features. Some of these include a sprat-in bedliner, a Bose audio system, and wireless phone charging. There is a safety package available on this trim that adds blind-spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, and lane-keep assist.

Our pick for the best 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the LT trim level. The Silverado LT gets the more powerful turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine setup, along with a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and an 8-inch touchscreen. It’s a good starting place to add on optional packages for more safety and comfort features.
