What Chevrolet Silverado 1500 do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more choice in trims, configurations, and pricing. They also usually sit close enough to the current generation to offer newer features while still giving you used-market savings.

What is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500's resale value?

Most Silverado 1500 model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit declines.

A few older years are falling more slowly, and one year is slightly up, which suggests some examples are holding value better than others.

The 2014, 2017, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
