This trim is a standout option when it comes to the Silverado lineup, with Car and Driver recommending it to those who want a Silverado. This is because “the LT model is where the fancier interior comes into play.” Being that the truck comes in a few different configurations, they also suggest that you opt for the “crew cab and standard-length bed for maximum cargo and passenger space.”
Some other recommendations they threw in for the LT are the “5.3-liter V-8 over the optional diesel engine because it’s cheaper and quicker.” If you opt for the diesel engine, you even gain access to the optional “Z71 Off-Road package with a host of upgraded hardware that makes playing in the dirt and mud easier and more fun.”
If you do opt for this package, you’re able to do much more than drive from site to site in style, you can even go off-road thanks to the off-road suspension, Hill Descent Control, skid plates, all-weather floor liners, and 18-inch wheels wrapped in 18-inch all terrain tires. This package even comes with a spray-on bedliner, making it more rugged.
If you’re not interested in getting extra add-ons, the truck still comes with some nice standard features. The first one is a pair of screens.
