The optional Dark Essentials Package for the 2021 Chevy Silverado can now be ordered in conjunction with the available Multi-Flex Tailgate for the Silverado 1500 pickup truck.
The Dark Essentials Package, which carries RPO code PDB, is available on several different 2021 Chevy Silverado trim levels and includes the following equipment (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
-
- Black Silverado and trim nameplates (RPO RIK)
- Front Black bow tie (RPO SFZ)
- Black tailgate decal lettering (RPO SB7)
- Black engine badges when ordered with 6.2L L87 EcoTec3 V8 engine or Duramax 3.0L LM2 Turbodiesel I6 engine (RPO SB7)
Previously, the Dark Essentials Package was not available to order with the Multi-Flex Tailgate on the 2021 Chevy Silverado, but customers will now be able to order both of these options on the truck. When the Multi-Flex Tailgate is ordered with the Dark Essentials Package, the Black ‘Chevrolet’ lettering on the tailgate will be replaced with a Black tailgate bow tie emblem. The Multi-Flex Tailgate is usually shipped with a Yellow tailgate bow tie.
