The 8 Best Car Phone Mounts for Chevy Silverado Trucks

I bought my first truck in 1989 when I was 16 – a Black, 2-wheel drive 1987 Toyota long bed with 71k miles for $4,100.00. Ever since then, I have always owned a truck. I love the convenience of being able to tow, haul and store for long trips and still have plenty of room for the family. 

For me, a truck is the perfect family car that’s always there when you need it. I tried owning just a car but that only lasted about 6-months when I realized I was not willing to give up on the convenience and utility a truck brings. Owning a truck just fits my lifestyle and I do not think I will ever be without one again.

My current truck is a Silver with Black interior 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD Z71 four-wheel drive with the Duramax 6.6-liter Turbodiesel Engine and Allison 10 Speed Automatic Transmission. With 445 HP and 910 Ft. lb. of torque the 2020-2023 Silverado HD is a luxury beast. I have owned 6 Chevrolet trucks over the last 28 years, and this one is my favorite. The new 10-speed transmission is super smooth which makes it feel “sporty” compared to my previous 2015 model and the front seats and interior features are everything that I need.

A few months back, Chevy announced the all-new 2024 Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. I don’t normally get excited about cars, but I am for sure going to be ordering one as soon as they become available, and of course, making or finding the best car phone mounts for chevy silverado trucks!

If you like Chevrolet or GMC heavy-Duty trucks, you’d probably be excited to hear that the new 2024 Chevrolet is coming out very soon (early Spring 2023). The new Silverado HD has been heavily refreshed with an all-new dash and infotainment system, as well as many other updates. 

The dash updates will likely change this 8 Best Phone Mount list on the 2024 model, but we will be hard at work finding the perfect mounts to share with you as soon as we get our hands on the new 2024 Silverado. 

My friend General Motors, Jeff, has toured the GM headquarters, talked to the design engineers, and has seen this new truck first-hand. He was also nice enough to share some photos that he took of the new 2024 Silverado HD and 2024 GMC Sierra.

Since this is a truck mount article, I summarized some of the new HD features below, along with some comparisons of the previous model. Look for a new Blog where I countdown the Top Truck mounts for the new 2024 Silverado HD as soon as I get my hands on one.

I like all trucks including Ford, Jeep, and Dodge Ram, but have settled into my Chevy’s. They will be the topic of this Top 8 list of ways you can quickly and easily mount your phone with ROKFORM car mounts and a ROKFORM case in a new 2020-2023 Silverado or Silverado HD. 

This was not an easy top 8 list to curate because all 8 ROKFORM car mounts work really well in the 2020-2023 Silverado HD, but I will list my favorites in order and tell you why I like them. I will also show you where I have them mounted in my personal truck, counting down from 8 working to what I feel is the best phone mount for the 2020-2023 Silverado HD.

This is a popular phone mount choice for the 2020-2023 Chevrolet Silverado. Its heavy-duty construction and adjustability are a great combination. I found that the best place to mount it for easy access is to the left of the steering wheel allowing me to easily twist and lock it in place to have a clear view of GPS Maps, texts, and incoming calls. 

Once adjusted to the view I like, I never have to mess with it again. I can easily twist and lock it in place in just a few seconds and it comes off just as easily. Another nice benefit of the ROKFORM windshield suction mount is that it can be easily removed and used in different locations like another car, in your office, on your fridge, toolbox, or anywhere smooth and flat. These are popular in a work truck, and for customers who want a no-frills, secure mounting solution.

I always carry one of these little universal vent mounts wherever I go. This is the best phone holder for portable and a universal fit in just about any vehicle. The little vent clip on this mount is not so little. We made the grip extra wide and long to provide a secure firm grip on the vent, so when you take your next drive, your phone is not coming off until you want it to. This is like the Super Grip Vent mount but the dual magnetic head option that includes a MagSafe magnet array also works with any phone or case that is MagSafe Compatible.

This easy-to-use MagSafe® compatible mount works just like our original swivel mount, but we added a MagSafe magnet array along with our original built-in magnet right in the center. This is our most powerful combination when used with any of our MagSafe® compatible ROKFORM cases which include the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and the all-new Galaxy S23. 

This is one of the best phone mounts for the Silverado for its ease of use and the ability for creating the ideal angle for viewing. If you have a standard phone case that has MagSafe compatibility and not a ROKFORM case, this is a great option.

Features, Specs, and Benefits:

• The dual magnet system makes it one of our strongest magnetic mounts

• One of the best mounts for those not using a ROKFORM case because of its MagSafe compatibility

• Easily adjusts with an upper and lower ball socket to achieve the perfect viewing angle

• Easy installation on the 2021-2023 Silverado in the most ideal location for a perfect view in portrait or landscape

Highs:

• Extremely Strong as a MagSafe® holder or using a ROKFORM case

• Easy to install and use even with a big phone like the iPhone 14 Pro Max

• Anodized Aluminum construction looks great with or without a phone

Lows:

• MagSafe magnets make this one of our most expensive magnetic phone holders

The #1 on my list of truck phone mounts for the 2020-2023 Chevy Silverado HD is our Super Grip Vent Mount. I use the Super Grip Vent Mount in my 2020 Silverado HD every single day. My setup includes an iPhone 12 Pro with ROKFORM Crystal Clear Case or the ROKFORM Rugged case and the ROKFORM Sport Ring. 

As a side note, if you have not tried the Sport Ring, I personally highly recommend it, it’s one of those products that I did not think I would use a lot but now I cannot live without it. The stand is so convenient in so many ways and we added a super strong magnet that’s handy in just about any situation.

Back to the vent mount – my location of choice is on the louvers on the top right driver-side vent. For me, it’s the perfect viewing angle with no adjustment required. When I get in my truck, I simply slap my phone up on the vent and it's always there right where I need it. I can easily access the screen and take a quick glance to read the map or notice an incoming call or text.

In that location, it is also in the perfect location if I need to plug in the cable to charge the phone. My truck has a wireless charger and I have used that a few times but it’s in a place where I must look down, taking my eyes off the road if I want to see the phone. I prefer having my phone where I can see it, on the vent with my ROKFORM Super Grip Vent Mount, my top pick for the 2020-2021 Chevy Silverado HD.

Features, Specs, and Benefits: 

• Wide gripping area holds mount secure to vent

• Large 32mm Magnet and Super Grip face holds even large phones like the iPhone Pro Max or Galaxy Ultra model phones

• Instantly mounts to any ROKFORM magnetic case

• Black anodized machined aluminum looks great and blends in with dash

• Can be easily removed and transferred to a different location or vehicle

• 2-year warranty & 60 Day money back guarantee

Highs:

• Location, perfect mounting location in 2020-2021 Chevy Silverado

• Fast magnetic mounting of your phone is instant

• Portable, easily remove to use in different cars, trucks

• Reliable, super grip magnetic face provides a proven reliable hold on your phone• 

• Easy move to the passenger side 

Lows:

• No adjustability

• Blocks some of the airflow from that vent when the phone is mounted but I have found that it’s not an issue when I select the face and feet airflow combo. This keeps me cool and I prefer it over just straight top vent airflow.

In the original blog, we counted down the top 5 mounts for the Silverado HD. However, now we have 3 new mounts on this list that feature Apple® MagSafe® compatibility. MagSafe® is simply magnets that are built into the back of all iPhone 12, 13, and the new iPhone 14 models. This feature allows for fast magnetic attachment to a variety of accessories like wireless chargers, car and truck mounts, wallets, battery packs, and more.

Wireless charging has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially with the rise of smartphones that support this feature. There are several pros and cons to this technology. Read more about the pros and cons of wireless charging here. 

At ROKFORM we juiced up the power and when using the new iPhone 14, 14 Pro, 14 Plus and 14 Pro Max you will get our MAGMAX™ MagSafe® compatible magnets that provide 4-5 times more holding power than what comes standard in an iPhone or case with MagSafe®. Also new in 2023 the Galaxy S23 ROKFORM cases will feature MAGMAX™ so Galaxy owners can enjoy MagSafe® compatible convenience just like iPhone owners.

All 8 ROKFORM phone mounts are great choices for your Chevy truck and there is definitely one to fit all of your needs. The same 8 phone mounts work great on the back seat of the crew cab or the passenger side for of 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and Silverado HD. I always have a Super Grip Vent mount on the passenger side of my truck to mirror the vent mount I use on the driver's side so that my wife or friends with a ROKFORM case have a place to put their phone. 

I have a 13-year-old daughter who likes to watch videos and movies when on long road trips. She is not allowed to have a phone yet, so I let her use mine or my wife’s phone when she wants to take a break from reading in the back seat. 

The best option for the back seat is on the back of the center console. This option will only work if you have bucket seats, but if you do, it’s perfect. With the Swivel Dash Mount or Dual Magnet Swivel Dash mount placed in the center of the back console, she can adjust it to her right or left and up and down for a great hands-free viewing angle. This area is also great for mounting the Low pro magnetic car dash mount, but it lacks the adjustability of the Swivel dash mount.

Yes and no. If you have a MagSafe® compatible case, you can use any of our MagSafe® mounts. Otherwise, you will need a ROKFORM case for an iPhone or Galaxy or a universal adapter. Check out this article on how to mount any device.

No. ROKFORM Pioneered magnetic technology in the Mobile Electronics Accessory Space back in 2011 and now even Apple® has adopted magnetic technology in their phones and accessories, even cases. Our specially designed rare earth magnets are proven safe for all smartphones and tablets. Magnets are safe for your phone and your credit cards, but direct contact can damage other magnetically sensitive products or devices such as floppy discs, hotel keys, and spinning hard drives. Do not use it if you have an implanted device.

Even though the 3M™ VHB™ tape is extremely strong it can still be removed without damaging the surface below. The mount can be removed by using dental floss or a fishing line underneath the mount to partially break the adhesive-free and get it started. Once a small area is broken free you can peel the mount off of the surface at an angle. Do not pull straight out, peel at an angle and the mount will come off with the adhesive. If a small amount of adhesive is left over on the surface, you can peel it off with your fingernail and then wipe the surface clean with an alcohol wipe.
