The Work Truck and Custom trims will also see two
front USB ports instead of one, and the Work Truck will see the availability of
SiriusXM for streaming and live entertainment options. On higher trim levels,
wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are brand new for 2021 and will be available
on the LT and standard on the LTZ and High Country. A new auto-dimming rear view mirror will be available for the Work Truck, Custom, and LT, and it touts a
very cool feature: there is a partial video display of the cargo bed, by means
of a Bed View Camera positioned on the truck's center high-mounted brake light.
Outside, the Silverado 2500 HD will have two new
paint colors: Cherry Red Tintcoat and Mosaic Black Metallic. There will also be
a few new wheel options in the form of an 18-inch design and 5 new 20-inch
variants. Under the hood, the regular-cab Work Truck will now see E85 FlexFuel
capacity for its 6.6-liter V8 gas engine, and the new Safety Essentials Package
will bring Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and other new
tech features to the Custom and Work Truck trims.
All of us here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse are
always looking at what options may be the best for someone running a
construction or hauling business that requires a tougher-than- average stance
in a truck. The LTZ Premium Texas Edition adds several driver-assist technologies
and special wheels and badging, and we have always had our eyes on the darkened
and daunting Midnight Edition: it offers up blacked-out styling, Z71 badging,
18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, and the spray-on bed-liner for LTZ and LT
trims. The Z71 Sport Edition adds Z71 badging and a chrome skid plate to the
mix, and we also have always had much love for the Carhartt Special Edition as
well, which adds 20-inch machined aluminum wheels as well as unique
Carhartt-branded elements like badging, interior trim, floor-liner logos, and
headrest embroidery.
