The Custom trim includes practical essentials like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a spray-on Chevytec bedliner, and the Custom Convenience and Value Packages. In regions such as Bastrop, TX, the standard rear window defroster and high-capacity suspension add year-round usability, whether for work or family hauling. This is a strong fit for buyers who want robust, everyday capability without constantly upgrading to higher trims.Performance value is a highlight with the 2.7L I4 Turbocharged DOHC engine paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This modern powertrain balances strong everyday capability with cost-effective operation, delivering an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Compared to larger V8s, this configuration yields real-world fuel savings over time, lowering ownership costs.
