The best-selling Silverado 1500 comes in regular cabs, extended cabs and crew cabs. Regardless of the model, you are privy to Chevrolet's commitment to longevity and performance. These full-size pickups are designed to withstand heavy workloads day in and day out. And when the work is done, road driving is a snap.

Just as performance is paramount with the Silverado, so too is safety. It has a dual-level airbag system that thinks before it acts. The system senses the severity of a crash and determines whether to deploy the airbag with primary or "lower" amount of inflation or with primary and secondary "higher" amount of inflation.

Available Models
The 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 extended cab is offered in three trims: base, LS and LT. The crew cab is offered in LS and LT trims. 1500 regular cabs, 2500s and HD models are all covered in individual reviews.

Interior Features
Both extended cabs and crew cabs include a 3-person rear bench seat. With a front bench seat, they can handle a total of six passengers.
The 2004 Silverado is smart: it has an advanced multiplexed electrical architecture that enables the driver information center to monitor and report on as many as 34 system functions.

With top-line LT models, you are treated to some very fine appointments. Some of those that help increase the comfort are the OnStar System, leather upholstery, heated front bucket seats, a Bose AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer and steering-wheel radio controls.

Exterior Features
Extended cabs are available with 6.5 and 8.1-ft Fleetside cargo beds. Crew Cabs come only with the short Fleetside. An optional 6.5-ft flare-fender Sportside bed is also available.
