Drivers who require a well-equipped truck with additional traction and stability can opt for the 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT1 4WD, which comes equipped with Chevy's four-wheel-drive system. The LT1 4WD seats up to three passengers (including the driver) on its 40/20/40 split-bench front seat. The front seat includes driver- and passenger-side recliners, plus a fold-down center armrest with storage space. Drivers can store additional cargo in the lockable underseat storage area that includes a power outlet.

Select Cloth seats come standard, but drivers can upgrade to optional Custom Leather seats, as well as an optional six-way power-adjustable driver's seat.

A 295-horsepower, 4.8-liter Vortec V8 engine powers the Chevy Silverado 1500 LT1 4WD. The engine links to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission with a Tow/Haul mode, which enhances performance when pulling a trailer or hauling heavy loads.

Standard features for the LT1 4WD include power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, a tire pressure monitor, OnStar, cruise control, and an AM/FM audio system with an MP3 input jack. Antilock brakes, foldaway power heated exterior rear mirrors, and 17-inch chrome wheels also come standard.

Optional powerplants include a 315-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 and a 367-horsepower 6.0-liter V8 engine, as well as a FlexFuel V8. Other options include a sunroof, a power sliding rear window, and an EZ Lift Tailgate.
