When compare the crew cab vs. the double cab, it’s clear that the crew version offered a more spacious cabin. Of course, this does come at the expense of a bit of cargo space. This is why most private customers chose crew-cab. It did have less room in the back, but when it comes to pulling a trailer, the standard box can tow more.
Silverado 2500HD models are distinguished by a power dome-style hood, as well as a wide grille with chrome surround and full-width chrome steel front bumper. A lineup of 17- (Dually), 18- and 20-inch wheel/tire combinations are offered.
Inside, the rear seats are offering at least 991 mm (39”) legroom and a maximum of 1049 mm (41.3”), depending on the front seat position. The Crew Cab features a long list of options, depending on the trim level, with technology features including mobile WiFi, USB connectivity, Bluetooth phone connectivity, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, OnStar 9.0 and navigation. There’s also a navigation radio with CD, USB port and an 80-GB hard drive (30 GB available for music), along with heated and cooled front seats available on LTZ models.
The Crew cab is available with a long box, due to an extended wheelbase. While the standard Crew Cab had a 3.9 meter (167.7”) distance between the front and rear axle, the long box had 4.3 meters (167.7”) distance. That is more than some compact cars. In the latter version, the whole length is 6.6 meters (259.1”) compared with the standard box size version that is 6.1 meters (240.2”).
