RST Stands for “Rally Sport Truck” The RST (Rally Sport Truck) trim brings a sportier, street-oriented appearance to the Silverado lineup, with body-colored bumpers, a blacked-out grille, and sleek, aggressive styling cues.
Introduced as a New Trim in 2019 The RST was first introduced with the 2019 Silverado redesign, offering a modern, bold look to appeal to both truck enthusiasts and style-conscious buyers.
Multiple Engine Options Available The Silverado RST can be equipped with several engines, including the 2.7L Turbo inline-4, the 5.3L V8, and even the 6.2L V8 on certain configurations — giving it strong versatility across performance needs.
Available with Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) The RST trim can be had with either rear-wheel drive or 4WD, making it suitable for both urban commutes and off-road or work site adventures.
Upgraded Lighting and Trim Details The RST features LED headlamps, tail lamps, and fog lamps, plus body-color door handles, bumpers, and grille trim for a clean, uniform appearance.
Optional Z71 Off-Road Package Buyers can spec the RST with the Z71 Off-Road Package, adding features like skid plates, off-road tuned suspension, Rancho shocks, and hill descent control — blending sportiness with trail capability.
Impressive Towing and Payload Capacities With the right engine and configuration, the Silverado 1500 RST can tow up to 13,300 lbs (with the 6.2L V8) and carry over 2,000 lbs of payload, offering serious workhorse performance.
Advanced Tech and Connectivity Inside, the RST includes features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a large touchscreen infotainment system, multiple USB ports, and available wireless charging — keeping it modern and connected.
Comfortable and Spacious Cabin The RST offers crew cab and double cab options, both of which provide generous rear legroom, quality materials, and a quiet, refined ride, even at highway speeds.
Strikes a Balance Between LT and Trail Boss Positioned between the LT and LT Trail Boss, the RST is ideal for buyers wanting more flair and performance than the base trims, without going full off-road — a perfect blend of city style and truck toughness.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST is the most American truck in Europe.
A V8-powered, crew-cab beast with bold styling and unapologetic capability. More brutish than a RAM 1500 and rarer than an F-150, it’s a niche but growing presence on EU roads.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
Standard RST (EU-Spec LHD, 5.3L/6.2L V8)
High-Mileage (80,000+ km): €35,000 – €45,000 (Check for towing wear, rust, and transmission health.)
Well-Maintained (30,000–80,000 km): €48,000 – €65,000 (Full service history, no accidents, unmodified.)
Collector-Grade (<15,000 km): €70,000 – €85,000+ (Garage-kept, rare EU-spec colors like "Northsky Blue".)
Special Versions
RST Z71 Off-Road: +€5,000 (Skid plates, Rancho shocks.)
6.2L V8 (420hp): +€8,000 (Faster, thirstier, rarer in EU.)
Midnight Edition (Blackout Pack): +€3,000
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Rarity in Europe
Officially imported in small numbers—LHD-only, but no VAT in most EU markets.
V8 engines command +15% premiums over diesel (which are rare in EU).
✅ Options That Add Value
Advanced Trailering Package: +€2,500 (Essential for EU tow laws.)
Sunroof/Bose Audio: +€1,500 (Luxury touches.)
Factory Bed Liner: +€1,000
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Rust (Check wheel wells, tailgate seams—EU salt is harsh.)
Transmission Shudder (8-speed autos need fluid flushes, €600+.)
US Imports (Avoid unless federalized—missing EU lights/towing certs.)
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels:
Chevrolet EU Dealers (Germany/Netherlands) (Limited stock.)
Specialists (e.g., American Car Center, UK/NL)
Private Sales:
Mobile.de / Autoscout24 (Filter for "EU-Spec".)
Expat Forums (e.g., Americans in Germany)
Pro Tip: The 6.2L V8 is the one to get—420hp and a 10-speed auto make it the closest thing to a EU-legal Raptor.
4. Market Trends
📈 Niche but Growing
2021+ models hold value (post-facelift, better interior).
6.2L versions now €5k over 5.3L equivalents.
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Cheap" sub-€30k trucks often need €10k+ in deferred repairs.
Ex-construction site trucks (hidden frame damage).
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
DFM/AFM System (5.3L V8 cylinder deactivation can cause lifter failure—€4k repair.)
4WD Operation (Transfer case should engage smoothly.)
📄 Paperwork:
EU Type Approval (Critical for registration—avoid gray imports.)
Towing Certification (Required in most EU countries.)
Fun Fact: The Silverado’s Multi-Flex tailgate has 6 functions—including a step and workstation—making it more versatile than most EU vans!
