Pssst....

Optional features on the 2015 Silverado include:
  • 4" Round Black tubular assist steps
  • 4" Chromed tubular round assist steps
  • 6" Rectangular Black tubular assist step
  • 6" Chromed tubular rectangular assist steps

2015 Silverado 1500 Trims: WT - LS - LT - LTZ | Chevrolet

They aren't as common as they are on the Tahoe/Suburban, but it is an option.
