2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LTZ

The Silverado 3500 is Chevrolet's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton truck isn't enough. It drives like a big truck, with a commanding view and a ride that settles down once you've got weight in the bed. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and built to work, with controls that are easy to reach whether you're in a WT or an LTZ. You can get it as a regular, double, or crew cab, so there's a configuration for most work and family needs. The LTZ is the luxury-oriented trim, so you get leather upholstery and heated seats that the LT and WT don't have, but you skip the High Country's extra chrome and massaging seats. Under the hood is a 6.0L I8 gas engine with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, which gives you strong pulling power for heavy trailers and a steady, planted feel on the highway. The LTZ can be ordered with the Z71 off-road package, which adds a locking rear differential and hill descent control for better traction on rough job sites.
