Overview

Part of the fullsize pickup truck segment, the 2017 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 $34,510 gets you a 6.0L V8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $41,790, 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. On a side note, you can get the 6.0L V8 engine in the bi-fuel form as well. Having said that, the Silverado 3500HD Regular Cab offers a single 8.2 bed with a maximum payload capacity of 7,153 pounds (with dual-real wheels). It also offers a maximum towing capacity of 14,500 pounds.

Buying Advice

We are gonna step up from the base trim and will get the LT trim which adds Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a remote-locking EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, cloth seats, a backup camera, and more. Furthermore, the Driver Alert Package can not be missed either as it includes a bunch of driving aids including the Forward Collision Alert, front and rear park assist, and more.
