2013 CHEVROLET SilveradoHD Double Cab 6.0L V8 Vortec (4×4) 6AT (360 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Double cab is a great choice if someone wants room for five or six and a bed to carry loads of working materials or equipment. When it comes to a four-door pickup, the interior is usually more carefully built since most of the time is not just the working vehicle, but also the family-trip vehicle.

In the upper trim level, such as the Double cab LTZ71, the cabin looks really SUV-like with leather seats, a navigation system, and iPod connectivity. The dashboard looks outdated though even for a 2013 vehicle. The mid-life cycle update was not so obvious on the inside as on the outside.

Under the hood, the standard engine is a V8 gasoline unit but, if the owner plans to tow some heavy trailers, the 6.6-liter Duramax unit is the best choice. That is available even with an exhaust auxiliary brake system that can be enabled from a button on the center console. The 6-speed automatic transmission is fitted as standard on all the 2500 HD range.

The roomy interior also features the power rear window. It is not all the glass, but just a part in the middle of it. It can be useful if some would want to grab something stored in the bed.

Z71 also includes unique 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.
