GM introduced the third generation of the Chevrolet Silverado HD2500 in 2006 as a 2007 model-year, and it was an instant success for the American brand.
It was the second generation of the GMC Sierra and the third generation for the Chevrolet Silverado that won the 2007 North American Truck of the Year. The credits went for the GMT900 platform used to build both vehicles. The Silverado was available as a regular cab, extended cab, and crew cabs. The Regular Cab version was the hard-worker of the family.
The design team was asked to make the car more aerodynamic to improve fuel efficiency, which was reflected in the pickup’s shape. With its steeply raked windshield and tighter panel gaps, the results were far better than its predecessor. Usually, nobody cares for the aerodynamic of a workhorse, but every contractor cares for the fuel-efficiency.
Even in the base trim level, the WT (Work Truck), the Silverado 2500 was fitted with an AC unit, AM/FM/XM stereo. There was room for up to three passengers in the front. While the base model featured a simple dashboard layout, the top trim levels featured more amenities.
Its most important advantages came due to the chassis, with front-wheel independent suspension for the entire range. That helped the car behave closer to cars than trucks on the road. It was available with 4×2 or 4×4 versions and a choice of two engines paired to a 6-speed automatic.

While it was intended for real, heavy-duty jobs, the 2008 Silverado 3500 kept a nice interior for its occupants, and it proved to be a good workhorse and a family friend as well.
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 regular 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 Regular cab offered just two doors and a bench in the front, or individual seats depending on the trim level and options. Chevrolet offered the Silverado with a bed in the back or with a bare chassis.
The cab was fit for two passengers, and it offered various trim levels. The WT (Work Truck – base model) featured rugged vinyl floor mats and stain-proof upholstery. The LTZ, top trim-level, offered a higher comfort level with individual seats, wood-trims, and a sat-nav system.
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.
