The New Features of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado

The 2016 Chevy Silverado, available now here at Chevrolet of Homewood, is packed with plenty of exciting new features. The 2016 Silverado isn’t radically redesigned, since the current generation debuted a little more than a year ago, but it does get some upgrades to make it exciting to drivers in the Calumet City area. We’ve rounded up some of the most exciting new features in the 2016 model in this list:

  • Eight Speed Automatic: The new Silverado in LTZ or High Country trim levels can be had with an eight speed automatic transmission when equipped with either the 5.3L V8 engine or the 6.2L V8 engine.
  • Apple CarPlay: The Silverado will now come standard with Apple CarPlay, the latest smartphone integration system that makes it easier than ever to get the most out of your iOS device and your Chevy MyLink infotainment system.
  • Android Auto: The Google counterpart to the Apple CarPlay system is coming later this year. It should make Android smartphone users happy, thanks to easier and more convenient smartphone connectivity.
  • Wireless Phone Charging: When you opt to have your Silverado with front bucket seats rather than a front bench seat, you can also opt to have your Silverado with wireless smartphone charging. That’s a feature you’ll appreciate immediately, and soon wonder how you ever lived without it.
  • Remote Locking Tailgate: The Tailgate can be unlocked via your remote that also locks the doors. This could not be done before, ever. This is an important feature, especially if you secure valuables in back with a topper or cover on your bed.
  • Power Side Steps: If you pick the Silverado High Country trim level, you can have power assist steps with a button on the end that when kicked automatically swings inward, providing increased access to the bed.
