2008-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Diesel Regular Cab
One-Ton Truck
This Silverado is one of the highest rated towing vehicles that can be purchased without a commercial license. The gasoline V8 is both powerful and responsive, and the optional turbo diesel is a tow king. Off-road capabilities are enhanced with an available full 4x4 drivetrain with low-range transfer case, and optional dual rear wheels help keep more traction for the really big loads. There is an array of styles, including passenger cabs that has a regular cab holding up to three people, a four-door extended cab for up to six, and a crew cab that still can seat six (only five with an optional front bucket seats) but offers 4.4 more inches of leg room in the rear. It is also available in standard box (6'6') or long box (8'2'). This model Silverado 3500's variety and abilities have earned it recognition from JD Power for its initial quality and a recommendation from Consumer Reports.
