What Chevrolet Truck Is Right for Me? | Edinburg, TX
If you are a Texan looking for a hard-working truck, Chevrolet should be high atop your list. Whether it is for work, play, or a little bit of both, the 2021 Chevrolet truck lineup has a range of great options ready to meet your needs. And best of all, you will find them right here at Fiesta Chevrolet in Edinburg, Texas.
2021 Chevrolet Colorado
Don’t need all the towing muscle of a full-size or heavy-duty truck? The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado may just be right for you. Even though it is not as brawny as its bigger siblings are, the Colorado pulls its own weight with enough towing power and payload for odd jobs and weekend adventures. With the available 3.6-liter V6, you can tow up to 7,000 pounds;1 the available 2.8-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel goes even further with a max 7,700 pounds of towing power.2
Available in extended and crew cab configurations, the 2021 Chevy Colorado is also a smart choice if you have a growing family. The Colorado can seat up to five with your choice of dual rear seats or a folding rear bench, and it offers plenty of comfort in terms of headroom and legroom. In fact, the Colorado gives you just a touch more front legroom than the Silverado. You will also get plenty of tech with available features like the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with an 8-inch-diagonal touch screen.
While its smaller size makes the Colorado city-savvy, it knows a thing or two about getting down and dirty. Especially if you ride with the Colorado ZR2, which adds on off-road-friendly features such as Multimatic™ shocks and a 48-millimeter factory-installed lift.
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
For most truck lovers, the 2021 Silverado 1500 is more than just right. With the latest Silverado, you’ll get ample towing power — up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped — making it ideal for everything from towing trailers to moving equipment to pulling your boat up to the lake.3
If you have a growing family, the Silverado 1500 is just a bit more spacious on the inside than the Colorado with a bit of extra headroom. You will also have a bit more flexibility as far as cabs and beds with regular, double, and crew cab options as well as your choice of short, standard, and long beds. With the 98.1-inch long version of the Durabed, you will get best-in-class max cargo volume of up to 89.1 cubic feet. That is nearly twice the max cargo room of the Colorado, which maxes out at 49.9 cubic feet.
The Silverado 1500 also sets a high standard for premium quality and technology. For drivers who plan to do a bit more towing, you can upgrade your experience with features like the Advanced Trailering System, 15 available camera views, and segment-first tech like Brake Gain Memory and Electric Parking Brake Hookup Assist.
Choice won’t be hard to come by if you’re looking at a new Silverado 1500. The current lineup offers plenty of trims, engines, and even several special editions. There is well and truly a Silverado for every need. Want great fuel economy on long drives? The available 3.0-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel is unrivaled with 33 mpg on the highway.4 Looking for a luxury truck? They do not come fancier than the Silverado High Country, replete with supple leather and high-quality materials.
2021 Chevrolet Silverado HD
When you have a big job that absolutely, positively has to be done right the first time, call on the Silverado HD. The largest member of the Chevrolet truck lineup offers the biggest potential when it comes to hard work — and first impressions.
The biggest advantage of going with a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD or Silverado 3500 HD is the incredible towing and payload power that comes with it. A Silverado 2500 HD tops the Silverado 1500 handily with up to 18,510 pounds of max towing potential.5 The 3500HD nearly doubles that, topping out at 36,000 pounds.6
Power is supplied by your choice of the 6.6-liter gas V8 or the legendary 6.6-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8. Both offer incredible horsepower and torque to help you get the job done, and they make your day’s driving a ton of fun. The Silverado HD also offers many of the same perks as the Silverado 1500 in terms of variety, options, technologies, and style. Only you get a bigger truck with more muscle.
While the truck itself is bigger, the Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD are virtually identical when it comes to cabin space. So, if you want a truck that’s easier for your little ones to climb up into, the smaller Silverado may be the way to go. But, the Silverado HD is still a great option for daily driving thanks to its ample safety tech, connectivity, and comfort.
