Choosing between the LT and the RST trims typically comes down to your exterior style preferences. For drivers in Jackson County who appreciate a classic pickup look, the LT delivers perfectly. It features a prominent chrome center grille bar, chrome bumpers, and chrome mirror caps. Under the hood, the LT comes standard with the 2.7L TurboMax engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque when properly equipped. Inside the cabin, the LT introduces the massive 13.4-inch diagonal advanced color touchscreen and a 12.3-inch diagonal configurable driver information center to keep you connected on rural roads.

The RST takes the impressive foundation of the LT and transforms it with a street focused appearance package. Chevrolet removes the chrome, replacing it with a body color center grille bar, body color door handles, and body color bumpers. It also unlocks available upgrades like larger, high gloss black aluminum wheels. Both trims give you access to legendary V8 power, including the available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower when properly equipped. This makes pulling a boat or camper down I-90 an effortless experience.
