2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Crew Cab Short Bed Pickup
"America is still the land of rugged individualists, cue Bob Seger's Like a Rock...and every one of them demands something different from their Chevy truck. But they all want the same thing, the most dependable, longest lasting trucks on the road. Like a rock.". This was Chevy's ad from over 30 years ago and while some things may have changed, we never have a shortage of older Chevrolet trucks at Classic Auto Mall!
For consignment, a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD crew cab that's been garage kept, not used in winter, and serviced every 3,000 miles per our consignor. It has a hidden gooseneck hitch, running boards, and a commercial duty hitch out back. Conditions belie its mileage so read on to learn more!
Exterior
Aspen White covers the truck and appears as trim on the grille and front bumper cover where it is accented by a gray chin piece with fog lights. Crew cab means it has full sized doors and that extends the cab a good distance while including a usable short bed in back. Wide side mirrors wear black which blends with the dark tinted cab windows and Weston running boards, door handles, and of course, tires. 4x4 is emblazoned on the bed which is covered with a rubber mat and shows wear, so no worries about causing the first scratch in the paint! White side moldings show some discoloration on the driver's door and all doors have rain guards on the windows. Eight lug 16-inch polished wheels wear 2565/75R16LT tires. Considering the mileage, it's obvious this truck was taken care of as outer flaws remain minimal and metalwork looks good.
Interior
Pewter Gray is the inside palette and first appears on the molded plastic door panels which have retained their clean, unbroken status and gray carpeted map pockets can hold much bigger things. One reflector is missing from a rear passenger door. Gray velour covers the front bucket seats and has also held up well with a bit of compression on the driver's seat noticed. These are tall and well padded seats, and the rear bench can easily accommodate three people but two will feel like royalty with plenty of head room and a pull down armrest. The leather wrapped steering wheel shows just a touch of patina and shares the column with the shifter, all leading to the standard gauge package with seven points of information and a panel of idiot lights. An electronic range selector is found with a series of buttons to the left while the center stack houses the climate controls and a JVC AM/FM/CD radio with AUX and USB. The wide floor is covered with low pile gray carpet, showing some usage with a few stains and the headliner is also evidence this truck has been of service.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a relatively clean 6.0 liter Vortec V8, fuel injected and rated at 300 horsepower. Underneath, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission gets things moving and sends power first to the rear axle with 3.73 gears and Positraction and then to the front diff with the same ratio. Power disc brakes all around are employed to slow and stop the big Chevy.
Undercarriage
Stupendously clean underneath with typical surface rust, no errant fluids, intact boots, and no greasy grime to speak of. A single exhaust runs through a stock style muffler before exiting behind the right rear tire. Torsion bar suspension is provided up front and leaf springs in the back. You would not be able to guess the mileage on this truck based on the underside conditions. Nice! That said, we do note some flaking paint on a rocker panel.
Drive-Ability
Up we climb into the cab where the seats provide a comfortable post from which to pilot this rig. The trusty 6.0 liter fires up and sends us on our way and has adequate power and the truck provides a smooth ride and is a decent runner. And we're not surprised that everything functions as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Now you can tow your show car or race car and take your family along with you! This truck has room, power, and comfort and thanks to meticulous maintenance, many miles of service ahead. Our customers love regular trucks, and they often sell quickly as a result. Put one of these in your stable and you'll be amazed at how versatile and useful a pickup can be!
