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.

Along with the second generation of its pickup-trucks, Chevrolet introduced an Extended Cab version for its Heavy-Duty Silverado range.
It’s true that Ford was still leading the pickup market and kept increasing its leading position, but that didn’t mean that Chevrolet had to throw the towel. The second generation of the Silverado came on the market in 2007, trying to prove that it can do better than its predecessor. Unfortunately, the timing was bad due to the world economic crisis and the first few years were not good for the bow-tie brand and its parent company.
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 HD lineup from their light-duty siblings by muscular designs for the grilles, headlights, hoods, and front fenders. 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.
Inside, Chevrolet Silverado offered up to five seating positions, with enough room for the front occupants and decent sized for the rear ones. Like most of the pickup-trucks on the market, it offered a big dashboard, with a steering-column mounted gear-selector for the automatic transmission.
The manufacturer offered the Silverado HD with a choice of two engines paired as standard to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It was available either as a 2WD or 4WD. For the Z71 version, the carmaker offered additional skid plates to protect the body while offroading.
