When you get behind the wheel of a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you will be treated to a highly capable truck that keeps you safe. From the moment you learn about its features at Baum Chevrolet Buick, you will see that the Silverado 1500 has plenty to offer Illinois drivers. Take a closer look at some of its standout amenities.
Bluetooth Keeps You Safe and Connected
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 keeps you safe in multiple ways. These include features you may not necessarily associate with safety, such as Bluetooth. Even with Bluetooth now standard on many cars at Baum Chevrolet Buick, it is a standout offering worthy of discussing.
The rise of Bluetooth in cars and trucks comes directly from safety considerations. Most importantly, research confirms that using hands-free electronics compared to handheld electronics decreases your risk of getting in an accident. Look at the study from the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. It found that using a handheld phone increases your risk of a crash by 2-3.5 times.
The bottom line is anything that requires manual or visual action puts you at risk. Hands-free devices reduce this risk, and Bluetooth lets you take advantage of that hands-free technology.
The Most Functional Truck Bed You Will Find
On top of the Bluetooth functionality, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has the most functional truck bed you can find. It starts with high-strength steel that was roll-formed to create a sturdy bed. It also boasts 89.1 cubic feet, the best-in-class figure. To keep your gear organized, the truck bed even has a whopping 12 tie-downs, twice the number available from competitors.

Can Handle All of Your Tasks
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is up to whatever task you throw its way. Maximize efficiency with the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine or opt for the 6.2-liter V8 to get extra power. Don’t forget to consider the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel as well. In total, there are five engine configurations to choose from. Combine that power with advanced towing technology, so you never have to leave your trailer or boat behind.
For an example of the type of towing technology you will find in the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, look no further than the available 15 camera views. This is more coverage than you will find on any competitor.
Depending on how you configure your Silverado 1500, you can tow up to 13,300 pounds or haul up to 2,280 pounds. Or you can enjoy up to 23 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway, helping keep your fuel costs low. To put it in perspective, this means that you could drive the Silverado 726 miles on the highway without having to refuel.
