A better cargo bed

The versatile Durabed that’s standard on every Silverado HD features 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs.* per corner, four more than you’ll find on Ram HD. Combine that with the available Multi-Flex Tailgate that offers six different functions to help improve loading, unloading and accessing the cargo bed, and you have a bed that’s hard to beat.
