If you’re after a Chevy Silverado for sale, we’d be glad to help you outfit yours with great accessories.

#1 – Roof-Mounted Dock Glide Kayak Carrier

If you want to enjoy long days of kayaking on the Tennessee River, we highly recommend adding the roof-mounted dock glide kayak carrier. When you don’t have room in your truck bed for your kayaks, this accessory will come in handy. It’s easy to install right onto your existing cross bars and even has an adjustable saddle to get a firm grip on your kayak, regardless of its dimensions. This is also an excellent accessory for your paddleboard. If adventure means days on the water, we recommend adding this accessory.

#2 – Hitch-Mounted 2-Bike Camber Bicycle Carrier

Maybe you like to explore several terrains––both land and water–– in one day. If your roof is already occupied by your kayaks, toss your bicycles onto the hitch-mounted 2-bike camber bicycle carrier. It is specifically made to carry straight-top, tube-style, fat tire bikes and bikes with fenders. Once on, it tilts forward so as to not limit access to the bed. This carrier is even designed to eliminate swaying movement so your two bikes don’t knock up against one another. In fact, there will be a generous seven inches between the bikes. If you want to explore some dirt paths at your destination and have no room in your bed or on your roof, check out this bicycle carrier.

#3 – GO Hydration Water Faucet

If you love to go where no other adventurers have explored, then you probably find yourself away from running water. No problem. If you have the Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug, you can attach this faucet and enjoy running water wherever you go. The faucet comes with a hose, USB charger, storage bag, and two mounting plates. It even has an auto water shutoff feature to prevent waste and an LED light for night use. Figuring out how to wash your face after a long day of hiking is easier with this accessory.

#4 – Vertical Bed Cargo Net With Storage Bag

When you plan on loading up your bed with all sorts of gear for fun in the sun, from soccer balls to bags of snacks to folding chairs, you might not want everything slamming against each other in the bed of your Silverado. This vertical bed cargo net can help keep all the items in your bed organized. Plus, it has an integrated storage bag for stashing delicate items.

#5 – Dual Zone Powered Cooler

Chevy actually carries several coolers of different sizes, but we like this one because of its dual-zone capability. You can essentially have a small refrigerator and cooler with you, as you can separately adjust the temperature of each compartment. In fact, it can go down to negative seven degrees Fahrenheit. This cooler even has a removable and easy-to-organize wire basket and divider, allowing you to create small compartments for different types of food and beverages. Plus, it can be powered via an AC, DC, or solar power for versatility. That means you can plug it into the 12V or 120V outlets in your Silverado. A high-resolution, waterproof display screen shows you the internal temperatures––which you can control via an app.

#6 – Underseat Lockable Storage

If you need to store valuable but bulky items in your Silverado 2500 HD while you’re swimming in the lake or sound asleep in your tent, consider adding this accessory. This spacious underseat storage bin fits underneath the rear bench seat in crew cab models and gives you a discreet place to hide valuables. Plus, it locks up, making it even harder for someone to take your gear.

#7 – Console-Mounted Safe

For smaller valuables, we recommend adding the console-mounted safe. This is a great place to keep your wallet, passport, house keys, and other things you really cannot afford to lose. It installs in the bottom of the center console but still leaves the armrest and console fully usable. So feel free to throw some non-valuables over it, like sunscreen and potato chips, as decoy items. You’ll also still have full access to the USB port and other power outlets to charge your devices on the road. The safe itself is constructed of 16 gauge steel and built to last. It comes with all the bolts you need to secure it to your console and is locked via a four-digit combo lock. If you often find yourself in situations where you can’t bring your phone or wallet––like jumping into lakes––then you’ll want this safe.

#8 – Rear Bench Seat Cover

There’s no denying that being adventurous is messy. You’re always dragging in mud, dirt, water, and all sorts of debris. We highly recommend adding a rear bench seat cover. Chevy has a dual-sided option that’s easy to clean and durable. It has thermoplastic rubber on one side and 600-denier terylene fabric on the other side. The thermoplastic side grips your seat nicely to stay in place on bumpy roads, and the entire cover is machine washable. We also recommend this accessory to adventurers who bring their pets with them and families who bond over hiking and mountain biking.

Putting Together the Chevy Silverado 1500 That Meets Your Needs

The Chevy Silverado has been one of the most popular trucks in the country since it was introduced more than 20 years ago. These days, you have a ton of options to choose from when looking at a Chevy Silverado for sale, which can make choosing the right combination a bit intimidating at first glance. Fortunately, getting the perfect selection of features and options isn’t as difficult as it might seem, especially with the helpful team at Crossroads Chevrolet by your side to take you through everything. While we’re always happy to work with you and help you find what you need, we also know that a lot of people like figuring things out before they ever come to us. Today, we’re going to take you through some of the major decisions you need to make in order to put together the 2023 Silverado 1500 that meets your needs. more What’s Your Truck For? One of the first questions we like to ask customers who come to us looking for a truck is what they plan to use it for. It’s remarkable how easy it is to overlook this question, yet it’s absolutely essential for ensuring you get exactly what you need in your Silverado 1500. If you’re looking for a truck for general use but don’t have any specific requirements in mind, then you have a lot of options available. But it’s still important to consider things like how many passengers you’ll typically have riding with you, what kind of towing you want to be able to do, and how important comfort is to you. On the other hand, if you have some specific needs in mind, then it’s essential that you identify them and know what you’ll require. For example, if you have a boat that you want to be able to tow with you to enjoy a day out on the Tennessee River, then you need to figure out how much weight your boat and trailer comes to and get a Silverado 1500 that can handle it. Similarly, if you have a family of four and you want to have everyone along with you, then you’ll need to choose the right cab size for that. Figuring out all of these requirements ahead of time will make every other part of finding the right truck much easier as you go. This is why we sometimes tell shoppers to choose the trailer or camper they want before they buy a truck, so they know the level of capability they need from a pickup. At the same time, you can consider things like the sort of comfort features you like or how important it is to you to have a great sound system that you can enjoy. All of this might seem minor, but you’d be surprised how quickly the small things can add up. Cab and Bed Configurations Now that you’ve got some key requirements figured out, you’ll want to take each part of what a truck offers one step at a time and determine just what you need. The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 has three different cab sizes and three different bed lengths available, making up a total of five different configurations. Your choice of configuration not only impacts some of the other options you have, like engines and trim levels, but also how much room you have for your passengers and anything you want to be able to toss into the bed of your truck. There’s a Regular Cab, which has two doors and gives you one row of seating. This cab is offered with either a 6.6-foot Standard Bed or an 8.2-foot Long Bed. You can also choose a Double Cab, which gives you two rows of seating for up to six people and is available with the Standard Bed. Finally, you can go with a Crew Cab, which also has two rows of seating, but the rear seats are a lot roomier. This is offered with either the Standard Bed or a 5.8-foot Short Bed. Choosing the Engine Once you know what size cab and bed you want in order to meet your needs, it’s time to make one of the most important decisions when putting together the right truck: the engine. Chevy offers four engines for you to choose from on the 2023 Silverado 1500, and each of them is a terrific choice. However, they deliver different amounts of power and performance. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but there’s probably one that would best meet your needs. The available engines include: 2.7L Turbo High-Output – 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of Torque 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 – 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of Torque 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 – 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of Torque 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel – 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of Torque Your engine choice affects your truck’s overall performance and the kind of towing capacity it offers. All four of these engines deliver a terrific driving experience. In fact, the 2023 Silverado has one of the most powerful and impressive starting engines in the industry, so you’ll get a great ride with any of them. This standard engine provides up to 9,500 lbs of maximum towing capacity. By comparison, the 6.2L V8 engine can haul up to 13,300 lbs of weight behind it, so your choices make a big difference. Selecting the Right Trim The reason we’ve placed selecting the trim level this far down when putting together the right truck is that it’s ultimately going to be a bit limited by some of your other decisions. There’s no reason to decide that you want the Custom Trail Boss trim if you don’t want four-wheel drive because it’s only offered with that drive type. Similarly, some engines are also restricted by trim level, so it makes sense to first decide on the kind of power and capability you need in your truck and then choose a trim level that provides it. You have nine different trim levels to choose from, so figuring out what you want from your truck can help make deciding on the right trim much easier. For example, if you know you want a pickup that can take you off-road and explore some new trails, then you’ll want to focus on one of the Trail Boss trims or the incredible ZR2, all of which have skid plates and an off-road suspension. On the other hand, if you’re more interested in getting the latest tech features and interior luxury options, then the High Country trim, with its 13.4-inch infotainment display, 12.3-inch Driver Information Center display, and premium leather seating, is a better way to go. Final Considerations Once you’ve figured out everything else, you only have a few more things to consider: mostly some final packages and available options to choose from. These will depend on the other decisions you’ve made, like the engine you pick and the trim level you want, so there’s not much reason to focus on them too much until you’ve decided on the major details. Putting these final touches on your truck is the perfect way to customize it to your exact requirements and ensure you drive away in the right pickup with everything you’ve been looking for. Of course, all of this becomes a lot easier when you’re working with a great dealership that puts your needs first, which is exactly what you’ll find when you visit us at Crossroads Chevrolet. Give us a call or stop by today, and we’ll help you put together the Silverado 1500 you’ve been dreaming of.
