Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

actively-shopping · June 16

We've been fans of the 40-20-40 front seat in the lower trims; specifically the leather option on the "3-across" version of the 40-20-40.

I hope this can still be ordered in the "Silverado" or RST trim packages. AND .... if dual exhausts are a part of the Custom trim, does

that mean a V8 package is available on Customs ? Has the RST trim been discontinued ? When ordering a V8 on one of these lower

trims .... must it be the 5.7 ? Or, on 4WD units can the 6.6 be ordered ?

have you considered asking a dealer these questions?

There are knowns and unknowns.

Knowns:

- LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone. The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those. You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims.

Unknowns:

- Custom. No mention of what engines it will have access to. Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though. My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7. I could be wrong though. The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust.

- 40-20-40. I would imagine that is NOT going away. They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket seats up front.

The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months. Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.

Interesting the LTZ is gone on the 1500s. That's a super popular trim level on the 2500s. Most of the goodies from the HC, without the price tag.

HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal. How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.

They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500. LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado. LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.

Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered. So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats. And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will. The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.

Here is the Trail Boss interior. Memory seats and Super Cruise are present. All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen. You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

I agree about the 40-20-40 seat. It's one of the most practical features on these trucks. As for the V8 options, I think we'll have to wait for the official ordering information before we know what's actually available.

My main questions are storage related. I'm a huge fan of the 40-20-40 seats, but they made the under center seat storage not standard on the custom or WT trims. I was also a fan of the behind rear seat storage, which also was limited. Will we get better storage across the line? And not with having to buy expensive trims? On a positive, the upper door storage shelf is back!

I don't know when they changed it, but at least since 2023 the WT and Custom both have the 40/20/40 with the storage middle seat. Same for the rear seat storage on crew cab. If you ordered a WT crew with carpet floors and cloth seats you could order the rear seat storages for the seat backs. Available on Custom as well.
