For work and value, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT (Work Truck) and Custom trims are your best choices.

The **WT** is the foundation-it includes the standard 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, heavy-duty suspension, vinyl seating, and a practical interior built for easy cleaning and durability. It's perfect for fleets, contractors, and anyone who prioritizes capability and ruggedness over extra features.

The **Custom** steps up with body-color bumpers, 20-inch alloy wheels, a larger infotainment display with smartphone connectivity, and power windows. It's ideal if you want work-ready performance plus a bit more comfort and style for everyday use.

Both trims deliver the reliability and strength the Silverado is known for. To find current pricing and inventory of these work-ready trims, call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or check our new-vehicle listings.
