The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab 4WD  comes equipped with Chevy's four-wheel-drive system, as well as antilock brakes and standard StabiliTrak, which provide additional traction and stability on slippery surfaces, when compared to standard two-wheel drive trims.

A 295-horsepower, 4.8-liter Vortec V8 engine powers the Chevy Silverado 1500 LS 4WD. The engine links to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic designed for smooth, quiet shifting. The transmission includes a Tow/Haul mode, which enhances performance when pulling a trailer or hauling heavy loads.

The 1500 LS 4WD seats up to six passengers in its four-door Crew Cab, including two passengers and the driver on the 40/20/40 split-bench front seat, and up to three passengers on the flip-up full-width rear bench seat.

Standard features for the 1500 LS Crew Cab 4WD include remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, a tire pressure monitor, OnStar, cruise control, and an AM/FM audio system with an MP3 input jack. Foldaway power heated exterior rear mirrors, 17-inch chrome wheels, and a chrome grille with a chrome center bar dress up the 1500 LS's exterior.

The EPA rates the 1500 LS's engine at 14 miles per gallon in the city and 18 mpg on the highway for the four-wheel-drive trim.
