The Chevrolet Silverado HD is the least commercial of the heavy-duty pickups, ith a smoother ride, ore precise steering, nd more carlike interior, et its capability is on par with the other big trucks. It's downright superior if you ask Chevrolet. The Chevrolet Silverado HD, ord Super Duty and Dodge Ram compete every year for weight rating superiority and bragging rights. The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado fares well with Super Duty and has Ram lightly beat on conventional towing and payload maximums, ut the Ram bests Ford and Chevrolet by more than three tons on max fifth-wheel or gooseneck ratings. 2013 Silverado HD can be configured to carry 7,222 pounds in 3500 dual-rear wheel configuration or 4,212 pounds in 2500. Properly equipped, Silverado 3500 can tow a trailer of 23,100 pounds. (Note: No full-size pickup can carry peak payload and tow peak rating simultaneously.) Chevrolet Silverado HD was completely redesigned for the 2007 model year and re-engineered for 2011. Changes for the 2013 model year are minimal. Among them: a 2500 Extended Cab CNG model, he full 397-hp rated Duramax option on Chassis Cabs and box-delete pickups, nd new Deep Ruby and Blue Topaz paints. The 6.0-liter V8 gas engine and 6-speed automatic are fully capable, ut the big towing numbers require the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel with 397 hp and more than twice the torque of the gas V8. Everything in the suspension, teering, rakes, rame and ancillary systems is built to complement the diesel power. As a result, nyone with $40,000 and a driver's license can buy a pickup capable of towing an 11-ton trailer. Although it's a work truck, he Silverado HD offers conveniences owners may now need as part of their work or their hobby, ncluding Bluetooth, SB inputs, earview cameras, avigation, nd OnStar. A choice of interiors is available, ith different dashboards rather than merely varied finishes. You can have it sweep-out simple, r served up with heated leather, avigation, nd an expensive-looking opaque shade for the moonroof. Regular cabs are roomy enough for three, xtended Cabs are ideal for younger families, hile the Crew Cab is suitable for work gangs or full-grown families or lots of interior cargo space. A well trimmed Silverado HD is the most car-like of big pickups in driving feel, et it carries and tows like other heavy-duty pickups. With enough cab, ox, rim, owertrain choices and option sheets to fill many pages, here should be an example to fit your needs and preferences. Alternatives are limited to the Ford Super Duty and Ram Heavy Duty pickups, s well as the mechanically identical GMC Sierra HD. The 2013 Silverado HD offers five wheelbases in 2500 (3/4-ton) trim. It comes as a Regular Cab long bed (8 feet), n Extended Cab with standard bed (6-foot, -inch) or long bed, r Crew Cab with standard bed or long bed. The 3500-series (1-ton) is all long-bed except for a 3500 Crew Cab standard bed with single rear wheels. All dual rear wheel models have the long bed.
