Difference in the 7" and 8" Infotainment screens

Looking to see if any of you know the differences in the screens are other than the obvious 1" size difference. I'm looking to get a Silverado, coming from a Camaro with the bigger screen. Wondering if there are functionality, software, or option differences with the screens.

Depends. The base level 8” display is the same as the 7” as far as features. But there is also a midlevel version of the 8” standard on LTZ, and available as an option on LT, RST, and LT TB. It is known as the “plus”.

 

The ”plus” 8” is considerably different. It has a higher resolution screen and backup camera, HD radio, XM360L, and wireless CarPlay / AA. Lastly, there is a top end version of this “plus” system with embedded nav, optional LTZ and standard on HC.

Thank you, that helps a lot. So if I'm not getting at least the plus then the difference really is just 1". That's good to know, because it is very hard here around Columbus, Ohio to find a 6.2 configured with some other comforts in the higher 40 to lower 50 range.

Pretty much hard to find anything anywhere at this point.
