Trucks

The length of a pickup truck depends on its size, as well as cab and bed configurations. Here are the general stats for Colorado, Silverado and Silverado HD:
 

• Colorado: 213 inches
• Silverado: 211 inches–242 inches
• Silverado HD (both 2500 HD and 3500 HD): 235.5 inches–266 inches

The weight of a truck can vary depending on the type of truck and whether it's loaded or unloaded, but here are the basics:
 

• Colorado 4,310 lbs.–4,910 lbs.
• Silverado 4,410 lbs.–5,710 lbs.
• Silverado 2500 HD 6,266 lbs.–8,408 lbs.
• Silverado 3500 HD 6,403 lbs.–8,552 lbs.

The commonly accepted industry standard is that a pickup with a GVWR* over 8,500 lbs. is considered heavy duty. For federal vehicle standards:

• Light duty: 0 lbs.–10,000 lbs.
• Medium duty: 10,001 lbs.–26,000  lbs.
• Heavy duty: 26,001 lbs.–80,000 lbs.

Towing and trailering are the same thing. It is the ability of the truck to pull a trailer.

Hauling is the ability to transport cargo in the bed of the truck. All Chevy trucks are capable of hauling an adequate amount.
