The Silverado 2500HD Regular cab only comes with a 8#39;2 ft bed. All in all, the Silverado 2500HD Regular cab delivers an exciting package, both in terms of performance and looks. The rugged and masculine exteriors are offered in 10 attractive colors.

Buying Advice

The LT trim makes the most sense when shopping for the 2015 Silverado 2500HD. The base trim isn't too bare bones but the LT trim adds several features such as the telescoping steering column feature that makes it worth the money.
