Does the Chevy Silverado have 6 seats?
In the latest Silverado lineup, six passengers is not a standard configuration. Most trims offer space for five occupants, while Regular Cab models seat three. This article outlines how seating works across the current cab options and why a true six-seat setup isn’t offered today.
Current seating configurations
The Silverado is sold in several cab styles, and the number of seats depends on the cab and trim. Below is a practical breakdown of how many people each configuration can carry.
- Regular Cab: 3 seats (one front row; no rear seat).
- Extended/Doubles Cab: 5 seats (2 front seats + 3 in the rear bench).
- Crew Cab: 5 seats (2 front seats + 3 in the rear bench).
Across the current lineup, the practical maximum seating is five passengers in the common crew and extended cab configurations. A factory six-seat setup is not offered in the modern Silverado lineup.
Six-seat configurations in Silverado history
Historically, some older pickup configurations with a front bench seat could accommodate six passengers (three across the front plus three in the rear). In today’s Silverado generations, Chevrolet has largely moved away from front bench seats in favor of bucket front seating with a center console, which keeps total seating at five in the main configurations.
Why six seats aren’t a current option
The move to bucket seats in the front row across most trims, along with a rear bench that seats three, defines the contemporary Silverado. This setup emphasizes cabin flexibility and a standard five-passenger capacity, which is why a six-seat option isn’t available in the current production.
Summary
The Chevy Silverado’s current lineup does not offer a factory six-seat configuration. Most buyers will find five-seat capacity in the popular Crew Cab and Extended/Doubles Cab models, while Regular Cab models seat three. If six seats are a strict requirement, a different vehicle or a much older generation with a front bench option would be needed.
