Used 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale nearRegina, SK

How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 15.04% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 664 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 earns a 4.62/5 user rating and a 5.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 7/10 across Performance and Form and function.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable ride, spacious interior, and strong performance, especially with the diesel engine options and the smooth-shifting 10-speed transmission. That lines up with the Silverado’s practical appeal as a full-size pickup that can work for daily driving, towing, and hauling. At the same time, the overview and owner feedback point to some frustration with interior quality and the sound system, so you should expect a truck that is broadly well liked rather than class-leading in every area.

The market also shows 32.8% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.62/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that many drivers find dependable and trouble-free in everyday use, with strong approval for the diesel engine options and the smooth 10-speed transmission. The expert assessment also describes it as a fundamentally sound truck, which supports the idea that it can be a solid long-term ownership choice if you find one that has been maintained properly.

Chevrolet’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps soften early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about living with the Silverado’s weaker points in quality and refinement over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Silverado comes in eight different trim levels, and the cabin quality varies enough that you should pay close attention to how the trim you’re considering is equipped. The base WT is more work-focused, while higher trims add more comfort and technology, but the expert review still notes that the interior can feel dated and less polished than you might expect.
• Powertrain: You have a wide engine range to choose from, including six different engines and transmissions that include 6-speed, 8-speed, and 10-speed automatics. The Duramax turbodiesel stands out for its smooth acceleration and strong torque, while the 6.2-litre V8 is the choice if maximum towing capability matters most.
• Safety package: Chevrolet offers forward collision alert, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, with adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and a Safety Alert Seat available as upgrades. Some features are not as complete as you might expect, including no stop-and-go capability for adaptive cruise control and no lane-centering assistance system.
• Infotainment: The Silverado uses Chevrolet Infotainment System 3 with 7-inch and 8-inch screens. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are standard, and the 8-inch HD display adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available wireless smartphone charging and a 7-speaker Bose premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Duramax turbodiesel returned 9.6 L/100 km in combined driving during testing, and Natural Resources Canada rated it at 10.0 L/100 km for combined driving.

Which 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered in 8 trim levels: WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country.

Here's the short version:

• WT: This is the most basic work-truck choice, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-frills Silverado and plan to use it mainly as a tool rather than a comfort-first daily driver.
• Custom: This trim adds a bit more everyday appeal than the WT while staying on the value side of the lineup, making it a sensible step up if you want a little more equipment without chasing luxury features.
• Custom Trail Boss: Choose this if you want the off-road-oriented look and hardware of the Trail Boss family without moving all the way up the range.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it balances equipment, usability, and price more effectively than the lower trims while avoiding the cost of the upper luxury models.
• RST: Pick this if you want a more style-focused Silverado with a sportier appearance and a stronger emphasis on road presence.
• LT Trail Boss: This is the better choice than the Custom Trail Boss if you want the Trail Boss formula with more equipment and a more complete overall package.
• LTZ: This is the trim used in the expert test truck, and it brings a more upscale feel, the 8-inch HD infotainment display, and the available Duramax diesel and technology packages that make the truck feel more complete.
• High Country: This is the top-end choice if you want the most premium Silverado experience, but the expert review still suggests you should inspect the cabin carefully because the interior quality does not fully match the price.

The safety package is available as an option, and it adds the Safety Alert Seat along with other driver-assistance upgrades.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 664 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.04% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $35,867 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's resale value?

The current average of $35,867 CAD sits slightly below last year's $42,217 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Silverado has already given back a meaningful amount of value, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favourable if you’re planning to sell soon. A softer market can make it harder to recover top dollar unless your truck is especially well equipped, lightly used, and in strong condition. If demand stays steady, the Silverado’s broad appeal should help support resale, but the current trend still points to more negotiating room for buyers than sellers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.62/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 safe?

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 earns a Marginal rating from IIHS for front passenger protection in a small-overlap frontal crash, and it receives four-star ratings from NHTSA overall and in frontal-impact results for the driver and front passenger.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevrolet offers forward collision alert, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert for every Silverado as either standard or optional equipment. The truck also offers a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, automatic collision notification through a paid subscription to connected services, and, with crew cabs, a rear-seat reminder system. Teen Driver safety technology is standard and free.

Upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and a Safety Alert Seat driver's seat. Part of an optional Safety Package, it vibrates to get the driver’s attention. A notable shortcoming is that stop-and-go capability is not available for adaptive cruise control, and there is no lane-centering assistance system.

Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.04% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 stands out for its broad engine range, available Duramax diesel, and strong sales momentum, even though the expert review says it still needs greater attention to detail.

The bottom line: If you want a used Silverado with strong owner approval, broad configuration choice, and a softer price than a year ago, the 2021 is the sensible pick. If you’re especially focused on a more modern cabin and newer technology, it can be worth comparing nearby model years, but price-sensitive buyers should still find the 2021 attractive because the market has already moved in your favour.
