Which Chevy Truck Should I buy?

March 20th, 2021 by

 

Chevrolet is all about giving buyers choices, but that doesn’t make it any easier to narrow it down when it comes time to pick out your next Chevy truck. Which Chevy truck you should buy can be a tricky subject, requiring you to take into account factors like your budget (both for the monthly payments and what it costs to fuel and maintain your truck) along with how you’re going to use it and which features are a “must have.” Though we all want the most for our money, there are plenty of people who simply buy the wrong Chevrolet truck for their needs and there’s no reason for that when there’s truly a Chevy truck for everybody at Landers Chevrolet of Norman.

Seen below, check out details on the 2021 Chevy Colorado, Silverado 1500, 2500HD and 3500HD. Though each is incredible in their own right, choosing the one that’s truly right for you and your needs will make you happier with your choice in the long run.

One of the most legendary names in trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 earned that reputation by making it look easy one hard day at a time. With the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500, Chevrolet has built their most capable half-ton truck ever. Make your SIlverado your own with any of eight trim levels, each with unique features and details. Need a tough-as-nails work truck? Then the WT base model can fill the bill, with fuel-sipping economy of up to 33 mpg. Want the truck that says you’ve really arrived in life? Then dress to impress in the 2021 Silverado 1500 High Country, featuring the features and details you might expect from a fine luxury SUV. Make your 2021 Silverado 1500 even more suited to how you drive and work with a host of different engine options, including a turbocharged four-cylinder, 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, or the surprisingly quiet 3.0-liter Duramax six-cylinder turbo-diesel, with 277 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque.

Built stronger to work harder and last longer, the 2500HD, like the Silverado 1500, comes in several different trims, color options and feature groups so you can really make your Heavy Duty Silverado your own. The 2500HD earns the “heavy duty” with components that are built tougher and stronger to withstand the rigors of heavy hauling. Under the hood, choose from two powertrain options, including the next-gen 6.6-liter gasoline V8, churning out a massive 484 lb.-ft. and a robust 401 horsepower, plus a look that’s second to none. Downside, the 2500HD is only available with a single-tire rear axle, so if you want the burly good looks of a “duallie” — or have ultra-heavy loads to tow — you’ll have to step up to the…
