Overview

The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Regular Cab is a prominent contender in the fullsize pickup truck segment, competing primarily with the GMC Sierra 2500HD Regular Cab, the Ford F250 SuperDuty Regular Cab, and the RAM 2500 Regular Cab. Prices start off at MSRP $33,610 with the base Work Truck trim, reaching all the way to the top LT trim carrying an MSRP of $41,300, for a total of 2 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a Silverado for everyone. The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD offers 2 exciting powertrains, each offered as both RWD and 4WD.

The base engine is a 6.0L V8 mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission, capable of making 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 14,500 pounds. Another engine is a larger 6.6L diesel V8 affixed to a strong Allison 6 speed automatic transmission, making 445 horsepower and carrying a towing capacity of 18510 pounds. The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Regular Cab only comes with a 8.2 feet bed. All in all, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD delivers an exciting package, both in terms of performance and looks. The rugged and masculine exteriors are offered in 8 attractive colors.

Buying Advice

It is probable that the work truck trim is pretty basic and economical, whereas the top tier LT trim adds a handful features for the money. Hence, we recommend settling down with the LT trim for its extensive features list. Furthermore, Chevrolet also throws in some additional packages for better comfort levels.
