2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST

At a glance: 5.3L V8 · 10-speed automatic · 4WD · crew cab / short bed · delivery miles only · Sterling Gray Metallic exterior / Jet Black leather-appointed interior

The trailering story starts under the hood with the 5.3L ECOTEC3 V8 and 10-speed automatic transmission, backed by a 2-speed electronic Autotrac transfer case, an auto-locking rear differential, an external engine oil cooler, and an auxiliary external transmission oil cooler. On the outside, the EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate gives way to the Multi-Flex tailgate for more ways to load.

The Chevytec spray-on black bedliner and rear wheelhouse liners keep the bed protected, while front frame-mounted black recovery hooks and molded splash guards keep the front end ready for real work. When it is time to hook up, the camera-based hitch guidance with hitch view, trailer side blind zone alert, and HD rear vision camera take the guesswork out of backing into the slip.

The Z71 Off-Road Package adds off-road suspension, skid plates, hill descent control, a heavy-duty air filter, and dual exhaust with polished outlets — so the days between towing jobs have their own capability. The 20-inch high gloss black painted aluminum wheels are wrapped in 275/60R20 all-terrain tires, and the high gloss black mirror caps complete the blacked-out look.

Inside, the RST All Star Premium Package brings adaptive cruise control, while Convenience Package II layers in a power sliding rear window with rear defogger, a premium Bose 7-speaker sound system, universal home remote, and the in-vehicle trailering system app. The Leather Package covers the front outboard seating positions in leather-appointed trim and adds the up-level rear seat with storage package.

The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system runs on a 12.3-inch multicolor reconfigurable digital display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, two USB charge/data ports, a mobile hotspot, and a SiriusXM with 360L trial subscription. The Safety Package fills out the driver assistance picture with HD surround vision, ultrasonic front and rear park assist, rear cross traffic braking, rear pedestrian alert, and perimeter lighting, while Chevy Safety Assist covers forward collision mitigation and lane keep assist.

Napleton Chevrolet St. Charles is at 2015 E Main St on Route 64, just east of the Fox River and about 40 miles west of downtown Chicago — a straightforward drive for shoppers coming from Sugar Grove, Campton Hills, or Bartlett.

We are a family-owned group with more than 80 years in the business, and our process is low-pressure. If you are ready to put a trailer behind a well-equipped RST, this one is worth a close look.
