2013 chevrolet silverado 2500 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Smooth-riding heavy-duty hauler. introductionthe chevrolet silverado hd is the least commercial of the heavy-duty pickups, with a smoother ride, more precise steering, and more carlike interior, yet its capability is on par with the other big trucks. The 2013 chevrolet silverado fares well with super duty and has ram lightly beat on conventional towing and payload maximums, but the ram bests ford and chevrolet by more than three tons on max fifth-wheel or gooseneck ratings. 2013 silverado hd can be configured to carry 7,222 pounds in 3500 dual-rear wheel configuration or 4,212 pounds in 2500. Properly equipped, a silverado 3500 can tow a trailer of 23,100 pounds. (note: no full-size pickup can carry peak payload and tow peak rating simultaneously.) chevrolet silverado hd was completely redesigned for the 2007 model year and re-engineered for 2011. Changes for the 2013 model year are minimal. Among them: a 2500 extended cab cng model, the full 397-hp rated duramax option on chassis cabs and box-delete pickups, and new deep ruby and blue topaz paints. the 6. 0-liter v8 gas engine and 6-speed automatic are fully capable, but the big towing numbers require the 6. 6-liter duramax diesel with 397 hp and more than twice the torque of the gas v8. Everything in the suspension, steering, brakes, frame and ancillary systems is built to complement the diesel power. It comes as a regular cab long bed (8 feet), an extended cab with standard bed (6-foot, 7-inch) or long bed, or crew cab with standard bed or long bed. The 3500-series (1-ton) is all long-bed except for a 3500 crew cab standard bed with single rear wheels. All dual rear wheel models have the long bed. Fuel capacities range from 26 to 36 gallons on most versions. standard silverado hd power is a 6. 0-liter gasoline v8 rated 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque in 2500 pickups and 322 hp, 380 pound-feet in all 3500 and box-delete 2500. The 6. 0-liter comes solely with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 3. 73:1 or 4. 10:1 axle ratio. a 6. 6-liter diesel (lml) is an option 8395) for nearly every model and rated at 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. The diesel comes with the superb allison 6-speed automatic transmission and 3. 73:1 ratio. The diesel is b20-biodiesel approved. three trim levels are available, wt, lt and ltz, though not every configuration is available. Ltz is limited to extended and crew cab models. Expect to add $2,000-$3,000 to move from regular cab to extended or extended to crew cab, about $200 from standard bed to long bed, and about $3,000 for 4wd. lineupsilverado hd wt models are work and fleet trucks. They come with gray vinyl upholstery, rubberized floor covering, black door handles and mirrors, steel wheels and floor-shift for 4wd. They also include air conditioning, am/fm stereo, driver info center with trip computer, 40/20/40 manual-recline front seats, rear bench seat (split 60/40 in crew cab), tilt wheel, chrome grille and bumpers, tow hooks, intermittent wipers, and dual dash power outlets. Options on wt include radio upgrade, onstar 295), 18-inch wheels, camper mirrors, locking differential 325), trailering equipment, power windows, power mirrors, power locks, integrated trailer brake controller and deep-tint glass. silverado hd lt versions are upgraded with cloth upholstery, carpeting (though the wt floor is available), 40/20/40 front seat with locking console storage, split-fold rear seat, am/fm/xm/cd/mp3 rds stereo, onstar with six months' service, aluminum wheels, power heated mirrors, power windows, power door locks, visor vanity mirror/lights, side moldings and electric-shift for 4wd.

Dual 125-amp alternators 270), fast-idle switch 200) and radiator covers 55) for cold states are optional on diesel models. safety equipment includes frontal airbags, front seat belt pretensioners, and stabilitrak on single-rear wheel models. Optional equipment includes front-side airbags and front side-curtain airbags (2500), onstar, backup cameras and integrated trailer brake controller. walkaroundthough substantially revised for 2011, the looks of the chevrolet silverado hd haven't changed much since the 2006 model. from the windshield back the body panels haven't changed for five years; only different wheels and some minor differences to the rear styling show. The front of the truck was revised for the 2011 model year, and the result made the truck look bigger, with a big grille and cooling duct in the bumper to cool the more powerful diesel. Where not standard as they are on duallies, the roof marker lamps, one each side and three in a pod in the center, are optional. The single rear wheel trucks have slightly flared rear fenders that mimic those of the dual-rear-wheel versions. styling differences distinguish the chevrolet silverado hd from the gmc sierra hd. with the big chrome crossbar and bow-tie logo the silverado hd heavy-duty pickup is immediately recognized as a chevrolet and maintains visual relationships to the silverado 1500 light-duty pickup. The wt work truck models come with this cabin. At the other extreme is an ltz cabin, which has a dash similar to that of the suburban with a single glovebox, configurable center console and woodgrain trim. we found no obvious difference in build quality between the cabin designs, and the apparent level of luxury imparted in ltz models varies by.
