Overview

Part of the fullsize pickup truck segment, the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Regular Cab competes with the GMC Sierra 3500HD Regular Cab, the Ram 3500 Regular Cab, and the Ford F-350 Super Duty Regular Cab. A base price of MSRP of $33,380 gets you a 6.0L V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $36,365, this single powertrain is found in both trims. This engine produces 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 7.5 seconds, and is offered as both a rear-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. Both drivetrains are available with single and dual-rear-wheel options. The Silverado 3500HD Regular Cab offers a single 8'2” bed with a maximum payload capacity of 6,760 pounds. It also offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,900 pounds. On a side note, you can get the 6.0L V8 engine in the bi-fuel form as well but this engine is only available with the 4-wheel drive and single-rear wheel arrangement. The payload capacity with the bi-fuel 6.0L V8 is limited to 3,740 pounds.

Buying Advice

We would suggest skipping on the base Work Truck (WT) trim. Instead, you should get the upper LT trim which has all the content of the WT and also features a CD player, heated mirrors, keyless entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more. You can also opt for the Driver Alert Package and the LT Convenience Package.
