Q: What are the differences between Chevrolet Trucks?
My friend and I are looking for a tough working and comfortable pick up truck, we wanted to get the Chevrolet Silverado, but all the trims and models are freaking us out. There are the HD1500, HD2500, and HD3500 and I do not know what is all the big differences between these 3, and the next hard part is all the trims, like the LT or LTZ or what ever. Please tell me what is the difference between all the models and trims, or any suggestions to get which one of the model and trim. Thank you.
And should I get the 4WD or the 2WD?
A: The 1500 is a 1/2 ton, the 2500 is a 3/4 ton and the 3500 is a one ton. You can get the 2500 and 3500 in the dually or singular rear wheels. The tonnage is the payload, or how much weight you can safely carry in the bed. The more payload, the more you can tow too. So if you plan on towing a boat or a trailer, find out the weight of it and buy your truck accordingly.
The LT is the middle trim. It has standard features such as cloth split front seat, A/C, cruise, CD, fog lights, etc. The LTZ is the top of the line and has leather, bucket seats, dual power seats, XM, Onstar, etc standard.
2 or 4WD? That's strictly up to you. It depends on your needs. If most of your driving is on city pavement, 2WD will do just fine. But if you live in snow or rain country, 4WD will come in very handy. As it will if you work in construction where you'll be on dirt and/or mud a lot.
One last thing, if you do go with the 2500 or 3500 and you plan to do a lot of towing or hauling, you might want to get the Duramax diesel. It has a lot of torque and is the top rated diesel on the market.

Q: How much should I expect to pay for an extended warranty on a new Chevrolet Truck?
How much should I expect to pay for an extended warranty on a new Chevrolet Truck? Is it based on the price of the truck or do they just try to get as much as they can out of you?
A: It depend on a LOT of things, all of which are impossible to answer based upon as little information as a "New Chevrolet Truck".
What model? What type of extended warranty? Will it cover the power train only, will it also include other basic systems like suspension, steering, heating/cooling and warranty? Will it be a "bumper to bumper" covering virtually every non-consumable? What will the duration be? Will it extend the original coverage to 4, 5, 6, or 7 years and/or 50, 60, 75, or 100K miles? How much of a deductible will you choose? Do you want to pay $200, $100, or $50 per incident or nothing at all? Will the warranty provide you with rental car coverage during service visits? Will the rental coverage include a "first day" option that allows you to obtain a rental car even if the repairs don't require keeping your vehicle overnight?
Warranty plans and coverage options exist for all the above, and the price can vary widely, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. One generally beneficial aspect of most extended warranties, however, is the ability to redeem any "unused" balance for a prorated refund, generally making buying them at the time you purchase the vehicle (although most can be purchased at any time before the original manufacturer's warranty expires) the least expensive.
Warranties are "high margin" items and sources of profit for the dealership than can equal the profit they earn selling the vehicle itself. Though it's impossible to provide any sort of meaningful answer based upon the limited information you've supplied, it's likely that whatever initial price the dealer quotes you will include considerable room for negotiation.
It's best to call many dealers in advance and ask for price quotes on the warranty alone, as you can buy the warranty independently from any other GM dealership, usually at any time up to the first year and first few thousand miles without any surcharge. You can then make the selling dealer a "meet or beat" offer on the warranty and simply take your business elsewhere. Also keep in mind that many dealers will not collect sales tax upon warrantees sold to residents of other states, something a dealership located in the same state where the vehicle will be registered is obligated to do, when making your "meet or beat" offer.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.
