2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Exterior

The design of the 2017 Silverado 1500 goes unchanged from the 2016 model year, when the truck received various styling updates.

Modern Cab Design

The cabs of the 2017 Silverado are designed to reduce wind noise in the cabin. Inlaid doors, for example, fit into body sides rather than wrapping over the roof. They combine with triple door seals to reduce wind noise and turbulence, helping quiet the cab.

Aerodynamics

Also, the front of the 2017 Silverado is carefully sealed to provide efficient cooling with minimal aerodynamic drag. An aluminum hood with twin power domes also enhances efficiency with lower weight than a steel hood.

When it comes to ergonomics, Silverado’s wide rear crew cab doors make it easier to get in and out of the truck, while the pickup box’s two-tier loading design, standard CornerStep rear bumper and ergonomically shaped handholds built into new box rail protectors make it easier to load and retrieve items.

Pickup Box & Tailgate

Silverado’s design also includes a smart pickup box that’s strong and durable – and offers greater cargo flexibility. It features a two-tier loading design that allows customers to insert a platform to separate items during hauling or conceal valuables below, such as power tools.

The EZ Lift-and-Lower tailgate makes it easier to access the box. An internal torsion bar reduces the effort to raise and lower it, while a rotary damper allows for a controlled and more gradual lowering motion when opening it. The tailgate is also easily removable without tools. It is standard on LT, LTZ and High Country models.

Silverado also offers a remote-locking tailgate, which is available on WT and LS, and standard on all other models.

To ensure loaded items remain in place while the vehicle is in motion, four integrated cargo tie-down provisions are built into the lower corners of the Silverado’s pickup box and adjustable upper tie-down hooks are available. The patented upper hooks – each rated at 250 pounds – can be placed in several locations around the upper bed rails, providing flexibility for securing loads of all shapes and sizes. Four of the hooks are included with the optional package, with additional hooks available as accessories from Chevrolet dealers.

A box light is standard and mounted above the rear window, while available under-rail LED lights enhance illumination and turn on with the standard overhead box lamp.

Mirrors

Heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors are available on LS and LT, featuring segment-first LED rear guidance lamps.

Capless Fuel Fill

New for the 2017 model year is a capless fuel fill system as a standard feature across every model and trim level. Trucks ordered as pickup box deletes will continue having the capped fuel fill.
