Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Ground Clearance by Year

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a listed ground-clearance range of 7.8 to 13.4 inches across the catalog years. This range covers the lowest and highest figures in the available specifications; it is not a single clearance figure that applies to every truck.

The catalog spans 1999 through 2023, and ground clearance varies within that range by model year and configuration. The available facts do not identify the clearance for each year, trim, or engine, so use the table to find a listed figure for the specific Silverado you are checking rather than assuming the range endpoints match a particular version.

If the table does not show a figure for your exact truck, confirm its ground clearance on the door jamb or in the owner's manual. Differences in equipment or configuration may affect which listed specification applies.

Stored ground clearance by year. Missing years have no clearance figure in this extract.

The largest stored change occurs between 2006 and 2007, when ground clearance increases.
