Breakdown of the RST Silverado 1500

Chevy continues to improve and upgrade its flagship pickup truck. The newest version of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with more trims and standard equipment than ever before. You can now choose between eight distinct trim levels, not to mention special editions and upgrade packages.

While each trim is designed to fit a specific need and niche, the RST Silverado 1500 offers a powerful truck at a tremendous value.

Here’s a breakdown of the RST Model of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500:

More Power For The Ride

The newest Silverado 1500 comes with four muscular powertrain options. While every engine isn’t necessarily available at every trim level, you can often upgrade to a more robust selection.

The RST comes standard with a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine that offers 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque. You might also look at the 5.3-liter V8 (355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque) or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine (277 ho and 460 lb-ft of torque).

The 2.7 turbo engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. While this model comes standard with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, it can easily be upgraded to a four-wheel-drive drivetrain.

Exterior Upgrades Help You Look The Part

When you compare the RST trim on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to the lower-level trims, you’ll notice a few eye-catching upgrades. Start with the impressive body-colored trim pieces and 18-inch aluminum wheels.
