Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 2WD

The Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 2WD and its counterpart, the GMC Sierra, were first introduced to America as a standalone pickup in the 1999 model year. Initially, from 1975-1999, the Silverado was considered a high-end trim level for the maker's C/K pickup. However, the 3500 badging did not join the Silverado line until the 2001 model year. From 1999-2001, the 3500 was still considered a C/K trim. Marketed as the American pickup truck, the Chevrolet Silverado's campaigns have ranged from Like a Rock to This is Our Country, both conveying the dependability and patriotism apparently associated with the truck (according to the maker). Possibly due to the marketing campaigns, the Silverado 3500HD has been used in several American films and television shows. Movies like Mr. Brooks starring Kevin Costner, Sling Blade, Richard Gere's Mothman Prophecies, and House of Wax featuring socialite Paris Hilton have all given a role to the Silverado 3500. Television shows that have utilized the model range from the construction-based Mega Moves to the Showtime hit Weeds starring Mary Louise Parker. with either a 360 horsepower Duramax V8 or 340 horsepower Vortec V8, the 3500HD 2WD is primarily used for demanding towing and hauling jobs. This 2WD model is not completely adaptable to rough terrain, and many buyers who use a pickup in that type of environment will instead opt for the 4WD version. Also, the 3500HD is commonly fitted with Dually wheels. This quad rear wheel version provides a more stable ride for hauling and towing both wide and lengthy objects. A regular, crew, or extended cab type is available, both the crew and extended featuring four doors. Also, three types of automatic transmissions are offered to buyers. This gives the Silverado 3500 a level of customization that many other heavy duty pickups on the market are lacking. In 2007, the model was given different trim badging, the Heavy Duty and the Classic. The model has always been one of the most well-equipped in its category, making it a favorite amongst buyers and critics alike. The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra have consistently outsold many of the competition, including the Dodge Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. Though sales have recently been decreasing, the maker claims that upcoming revamps for future model years will increase buyer interest and give the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 2WD a younger fan base. Specific details regarding upcoming changes have yet to be released.
