Why the Chevrolet Silverado Has the Best Bed of Any Pickup Truck

Pickups are made and broken by their beds. After all, if the bed isn’t functional and durable, what’s the use in having a truck? And when it comes to pickup truck beds, there’s none that do it better than the Chevrolet Silverado. Here’s why.

Most cargo volume

The Silverado’s bed can fit more stuff than any other truck bed, no matter the cargo box size you choose. The long bed has a volume of 89.1 cubic feet (Ram offers 78.5 and Ford offers 74.9 cubic feet for their own long beds). The standard Silverado bed has a volume of 71.7 cubic feet, also much higher than competitors’ equivalent offerings.

Practical features

The Silverado’s Durabed takes the fight to its rivals with these excellent features:

• Durable roll-formed, high-strength steel construction
• 12-standard tie-downs rated at 500 pounds per corner, with 9 more removable accessory tie-downs available
• CornerStep rear bumper for easy bed access, suitable for work boots
• Available 120-volt outlet to keep power tools charged on the job
• Available LED lights covering all critical areas of the bed

With all these features, the Chevy Silverado offers more practical bed features than its rivals, ensuring you can work quickly and efficiently, even when the hour grows late.

Available Multi-Flex tailgate

There’s no tailgate like the Silverado’s Multi-Flex Tailgate. It has the flexibility to meet a wide range of needs. In just a few seconds, you can adjust it to serve as any of the following:

• Standard power-open/close primary gate
• Inner load stop to prevent small items from sliding
• Outer load stop to prevent long items from sliding
• Full-width step rated at 375 pounds, useful for bed access or loading heavy items
• Secondary bed step for further reach into the bed
• Inner gate with flat work surface

The Chevy Silverado is simply unparalleled when it comes to bed construction and features. Visit Quirk Chevrolet of Portland in Portland, Maine, to see the difference in person.
