The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT2 Crew Cab seats up to five passengers in its roomy four-door cab. Standard features for the 1500 LT2 include reclining premium-cloth front bucket seats with six-way power adjustments and a center console with 20 liters of storage space, as well as a flip-up full-wide rear bench. Custom Leather seats are available as an option.

Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, dual-zone automatic climate control, and halogen foglights, as well as 17-inch custom aluminum wheels, are among the other standard features.

A 315-horsepower, 5.3-liter Vortec V8 engine with Active Fuel Management powers the 1500 LT2 Crew Cab. To help conserve fuel, the Active Fuel Management system deactivates four of the engine's eight cylinders when extra power is not required, such as at cruising speeds.

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. In addition, a Tap Up/Tap Down shift control lever enables the driver to manually shift up or down, depending on cargo and driving conditions.
