CHEVROLETSilverado 3500HD Extended Cab 2008 - 2013

　　While it was intended for real, heavy-duty jobs, the 2008 Silverado 3500HD kept a nice interior for its occupants, and it proved to be a good workhorse and up to five seats inside.

　　Ford F-series might have been on top of the sales charts, but its competitors didn't throw the towel and kept building trust among customers and brought new options. The Chevy Silverado 3500HD Extended cab was one of them.

　　Like its predecessor, the Silverado was available in a few body versions, starting with a chassis-cab and going up to the big crew-cab version. The front fascia was the same for all of them, with a wide chromed horizontal slat in the middle of the grille for the LT trim levels, supporting the bow-tie badge. For the LTZ trim level, that bar and the bumper were in body color.

　　The cab was fit for two passengers, and it offered various trim levels. The LTZ, top trim-level, offered a higher comfort level with individual seats, wood-trims, and a sat-nav system. The Extended Cab version featured a pair of doors at the front and sway doors in the back. The bed in the back was available in three sizes of 5.75' (1752 mm), 6.5' (1981 mm), and 8' (2438 mm) on three different wheelbases.

　　Chevrolet claimed that the most demanded version was the diesel, even if it was about 10% more expensive over the gasoline sticker price vehicle. The 6.6-liter Duramax unit came with enough torque to pull a house and, thanks to the engine braking system, it saved the brake pads. The other choice was a 6.0-liter gasoline unit.
