Looking for a heavy-duty pickup truck? The Chevy Silverado 1500 is a high-performer, ready to provide Lansing, East Lansing, and Grand Ledge, MI, area drivers with a complete experience behind the wheel.
Part of this complete experience? The power and payload provided under the hood. In this Chevy Silverado 1500 payload capacity review, our team here at Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing will cover all the details you need to know about this truck’s hauling capability.
Under the Hood of the Chevy Silverado
Of course, when taking a look at the Silverado 1500, you will want to start under the hood. Here, you will actually find that the truck offers a number of different engines. Standardly, you will get a 2.7L Turbo High-Output I-4 engine. This will provide you with plenty of power off the top: 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, to be exact.
If you are looking to enhance the muscle you have under the hood, you can look at the other available engines:
- 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I6: 277 horsepower & 460 lb-ft of torque
- 6.2L EcoTec3 V8: 420 horsepower & 460 lb-ft of torque
- 5.3L EcoTec3 V8: 355 horsepower & 383 lb-ft of torque
Any of these four available engines is a great option for local drivers, whether you are looking to tow the boat to the lake or transport tools for a home improvement project.
Inside the Bed of the Chevy Silverado
Also important to the payload you have available to you is the bed in the back. Again, here the Chevy Silverado 1500 makes a few options available.
The Standard Bed measures about 6.5 feet in length, offering drivers 71.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. The available Short Bed measures just shy of six feet in length, providing 62.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. Then, there is the Long Bed, which is over eight feet in length. This bed, as you would expect, provides drivers with the most cargo volume: 89.1 cubic feet.
Engine + Cargo Capacity = Payload
So, now that you have learned more about the engine power available with the Silverado 1500 as well as the space allocated for cargo, you will likely want to know what it has to offer when it comes to the payload. Well, when properly equipped, the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers up to 2,270 pounds of maximum payload.
This figure should arm you with plenty of capability when it comes to transporting different equipment. Whether it’s a bunch of small machinery, a tractor, or even some lumber, you will be able to haul everything you need.
