Offered as a 3/4-ton (2500HD) or 1-ton (3500HD), the Silverado HD is the type of truck you call on when you need to carry 7,000 pounds of payload or tow a 23,000-pound trailer. Already known to be tough, highly capable and offering plenty of tech and comfort features, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD has another feather in its cap: it has the top projected resale value of any full-size truck for 2017. Both flavors of the Silverado HD get a big change for 2017: a redesigned 6.6-liter Duramax engine, with nearly 50 more horsepower and 145 lb-ft more torque. Not only that, but the engine is more refined and more efficient. It's also designed to run at lower engine temperatures, which helps the engine's long-term durability, potentially lowering repair costs over the long run. Because heavy-duty trucks are more specialized tools for hard work than smaller trucks, it is much more essential for these to offer a variety of configurations, and the Silverado HD shines there. Buyers can choose a gas or diesel engine, plus multiple cabs, wheelbases, bed lengths and axle ratios, single or dual rear wheels and 2- or 4-wheel drive -- you can make the truck precisely the workhorse you want.
The Silverado HD provides the muscle that's needed for doing the really tough jobs. Its cabin is loaded with creature comforts and safety tech. There's a new, stronger turbodiesel available for 2017. And its resale value is anticipated to be at the top of its class.

For starters, each manufacturer has created their own naming system for their model lines. Then, they also have their own names for truck bed styles. Understanding industry lingo will help you determine which truck or truck accessory is best for you. When it comes to truck beds there are two basic designs: short bed and long bed as well as two different styles standard bed and stepside bed. Each truck comes in a combination of one of the designs and one of the styles. An example would be, a truck could have a stepside style short bed, however, it’s worth noting that stepside style long beds have not been around since the 1950’s. We’ve created this guide to help you research and understand the four different styles so you can make sure you are getting the right truck or truck accessories for you.
Short Bed: The short bed is by far the most popular type of pickup truck bed and is sometimes referred to as a short box. Compact truck short beds are generally 6 ft (1.8 m) long and full-size beds are generally 6.5 ft (2.0 m) long. These beds offer significant load-hauling capabilities but are not so long that they would be difficult to drive or park. Long Bed: The long bed is usually a foot or two longer than the short bed and is more popular on trucks such as commercial work trucks or farm trucks. The long bed style is sometimes referred to as a long box. Compact long beds are generally 7 ft (2.1 m) long and full-size long beds are generally 8 ft (2.4 m) long. Full-size long beds offer the advantage of carrying a standard-size 4 ft×8 ft sheet of plywood with the tailgate closed adding versatility for people using the truck for construction on contract work. In the United States and Canada, long beds are not very popular on compact trucks because of the easy availability of full-size pickup trucks.
Standard Bed: These are also known as a Styleside or Fleetside bed. Available in many sizes, the standard bed features fender wells on the inside of the truck bed. This allows more cargo volume inside the truck bed as the bed extends over the wheel wells instead of stopping at them. So, instead of protruding fender wells, the outside of the truck bed walls are smooth and line up with the edge of the wheel wells. Since the bed walls are smooth, standard beds tend to be a bit more aerodynamic. Stepside Bed: This style of truck bed is also known as Flareside or Sportside. With this style of truck bed, the fender wells bulge toward the outside of the truck bed. The “step” in stepside refers to the built-in step between the cab and protruding fender well where there would otherwise be a narrow, empty space. This step allows for easy step-up access to the back of the truck bed making it easier to move thing around at the front of the truck bed. Pickup trucks were commonly equipped with stepside beds until the 1950s when Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler introduced smooth-side pickup beds as expensive, low-production options.
