The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 2WD is a one-ton pickup that has a classy, modern exterior. Several trim levels, an array of options, and classic Chevrolet design are all available in the 2008. If a buyer is looking to haul, tow, or simply get from one jobsite to the next, the Silverado 3500HD can make it happen. Also, the 3500HD features Active Fuel Management to lessen the pain at the pump. The 2008 Silverado proves yet again that it is a force to be reckoned with.

The 2WD WT trim is base priced at an affordable $29,765. It comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission, a Duramax Diesel 6.6L V8 Turbo engine, and a one year subscription to OnStar. A trail three-month subscription to XM Satellite Radio is also provided. The 2WD 1LT comes standard with a Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, but can be upgraded to the more powerful Duramax Diesel. An advanced Allison 1000 series 6-speed automatic transmission is also available. The 2WD 2LT just has a bit more pizzazz than the lower trim levels. The front bucket seats are upholstered in a premium cloth material. Dual-zone temperature controls and audio controls placed on the steering wheel are included. The highest trim, the 2WD LTZ, is base priced at $36,885. It features trailering equipment to tow anything and everything. Rather than cloth, the front seats are upholstered in luxuriously sleek leather. Also, the LTZ includes a remote start system.

Unfortunately, fuel estimates are not available on the Silverado 3500HD, which may deter buyers. However, buyers should not be turned off so quickly. The Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is equipped with Active Fuel Management. This system deactivates cylinders when not in use; thus, fuel is saved during those trips. The 3500 gets up to a massive 367 horsepower, enough for a stampede. It can tow up to 9,900-lb and haul up to 3,880-lb. The Silverado can simply handle any load.

In general, the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 2WD is a mean, powerful machine. Though it has some fierce competition from trucks like the Nissan Titan, Chevrolet outclasses all of them with a sleek exterior and numerous engine, transmission, and interior upgrades. If a buyer is looking for power and performance, the Silverado 3500 is the truck for him. Other makers may claim to have the best heavy-duty truck on the road, but Chevrolet surpasses them all.
