More and mode people who are looking for a pickup-truck are looking for an affordable, tough vehicle, but with car-like driving experience. The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD promises to have all of these.
The 2013 update brought more styling on the outside and, depending on the trim level, has more chrome and SUV-alike front fascia. The Z71 trim includes 18-inch wheels (optional on LT, standard on LTZ) and unique interior trim, including brushed metal sill plates, a technical finish on interior trim pieces and Z71 graphics on the instrument cluster.
The interior of the Silverado 2500 HD wasn't upgraded, or at least it doesn't have noticeable upgrades. Compared with the RAM and Ford models on the same segment, this one looks outdated. The only car-like feature is the infotainment system and some buttons, which are carried over from some of the GM's brands' cars.
There is room enough for two people and sometimes three if there is an emergency. The central armrest is big, with two cup-holders and a storage compartment. Underneath the mid-side of the bench-seat is another big storage compartment that can be used as a trunk for personal belongings to not mess them with the stuff in the bed. Overall, it's a workhorse and, in 4WD versions, could not only tow but also climb, especially if it features the Cummins diesel engine.
