Which Chevy is Best for Tailgating?

Football season is well under way and with football comes a favorite pastime - Cooking, eating and drinking in a parking lot full of fellow revelers, aka, tailgating. Carolina Panthers fans may have their favorite game day tradition and we're betting tailgating is in the mix.

Determining the food options may be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a tailgate, but there's another very important aspect to consider, the vehicle. Classic tailgating calls for a vehicle with room for tailgating and a fun crowd experience.

Silverado 1500
The Silverado 1500 isn't just a rugged, fuel-efficient, 12,000 lbs-hauling master, it's also a tailgate star. With the standard cargo box, the Silverado 1500 offers 6 1/2 by 4 1/4 feet of cargo area, and the long box extends the length to over 8 feet. That's a lot of space for tents, chairs, coolers, and grills. Add in a 110V plug for a big screen to catch the games across the league, and you're set for the day.

The updated perimeter bed lighting features under the rail lamps that make loading and unloading easy, even after those late night games. Another aspect focused on ease-of-use if the EZ Lift & Lower tailgate, which was engineered to slowly lower itself into the flat position, while also being light enough for the younger members of your crew to lift and close.
In addition to the CornerStep rear bumper and pocket hand grips, the High Country Trim level makes power articulated steps available that can be released by simply tapping the end with your foot.
The Silverado is also 4G LTE Wi-Fi enabled, making it a perfect for hotspot streaming the pre-game coverage while manning the grill. Higher trim levels are also returning with a standard power sliding rear window, helping to keep the cabin fresh and clear of any barbecue smoke that may be lingering.
