Shopping for a Chevrolet Silverado near Bloomington, IN, means choosing from nine distinct trims, four engines, and three cab styles, so there’s a version built for nearly any job. At Ray Skillman Chevrolet, we help drivers sort through those combinations until the right truck clicks.
We opened Ray Skillman Chevrolet in 2008 as part of the family-owned Ray Skillman Auto Group, which has served central Indiana since 1980. The Silverado is the truck we’re best known for, and our team loves talking trims in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.
Nine trims can feel like a lot, so we lined up the highlights side by side. The Work Truck and Custom cover the basics, the LT and RST add bigger screens and sharper style, and the Trail Boss and ZR2 models bring factory lifts for weekends in the Hoosier National Forest. The LTZ and High Country lean into leather and a quieter kind of comfort.
| Trim | Standard Engine | Feature Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| WT | 2.7L TurboMax | Durabed with 12 tie-downs, Chevy Safety Assist |
| Custom | 2.7L TurboMax | 20-inch wheels, 10-way power driver seat |
| LT | 2.7L TurboMax | 13.4-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch driver display |
| RST | 2.7L TurboMax | Body-color accents, available 6.2L V8 |
| Custom Trail Boss | 2.7L TurboMax | 2-inch lift, Z71 package, 2-speed transfer case |
| LTZ | 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 | Perforated leather seats, 8 cameras, 14 views |
| LT Trail Boss | 2.7L TurboMax | 2-inch lift, Z71 package, 13.4-inch touchscreen |
| High Country | 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 | Premium leather, open-pore wood, available Super Cruise |
| ZR2 | 3.0L Duramax Diesel | DSSV dampers, front and rear e-lockers, 15-inch HUD |
The WT, Custom, LT, RST, and both Trail Boss trims come standard with the 2.7L TurboMax engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic. Chevrolet says that’s the most standard torque in the class, and you’ll feel it pulling away with a loaded bed.
Need more muscle? The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is standard on the LTZ and High Country and delivers 355 horsepower with 383 lb-ft of torque. The available 6.2L V8 puts out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque on select four-wheel-drive models. For long highway stretches, the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel makes 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, earns up to 28 mpg on the highway in two-wheel-drive form, and can tow up to 13,300 pounds when paired with a Double Cab, standard bed, and 20-inch wheels. All three of those engines use a 10-speed automatic.
Hooking up a pontoon for a Saturday on Lake Monroe gets easier with the right help. Many trims from the LT upward offer up to eight cameras with as many as 14 views, and the available In-Vehicle Trailering App lets you build a custom trailer profile and run through pre-departure checklists. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert adds a visual warning in the side mirror when a vehicle moves into the space beside your rig.
Most trims from the LT upward pair a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen with a 12.3-inch reconfigurable driver display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability, turn the cab into a handy mobile office. Available Google built-in brings Google Maps and the Gemini assistant to the center screen, and High Country buyers can add Super Cruise for hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads, even while towing.
Every Silverado includes Chevy Safety Assist, a group of six driver assistance features that covers Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and a Following Distance Indicator. Available upgrades include Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and HD Surround Vision, a big help when lining up a hitch.
Front occupants get 44.5 inches of legroom, so tall riders stay comfortable. The Custom adds a 10-way power driver seat with lumbar control, while the LTZ brings perforated leather seating surfaces up front. Out back, the Durabed offers 89.1 cubic feet of standard cargo volume and 12 tie-downs, each rated at 500 pounds.

The Silverado can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped with the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel, a Double Cab, a standard bed, and 20-inch wheels. Every configuration is rated to tow at least 8,700 pounds. Our team at Ray Skillman Chevrolet can help you match the right setup to your trailer or boat.
The Silverado offers four engines: the 2.7L TurboMax, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel. Output ranges from 305 to 420 horsepower depending on the engine you choose. We’re happy to set up back-to-back test drives so you can compare them.
The Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2 are the Silverado trims built for rough terrain.
