You’ve heard of a smartphone, but what about a smart truck? The 2017 Chevy Silverado has plenty of great tech. features that not only make your trips more comfortable and convenient, but some that also pair well with your phone.

Chevrolet Mylink is what powers all of the entertainment in the Silverado and, through a Bluetooth or USB connection, can pair directly to your smartphone, so your music and more is readily available.
