In one of the most dramatic tests, Silverado 3500HD and Ford F350 trucks were loaded with 3,000 pounds of payload and driven over a set of ramps designed to simulate a worksite situation like an irrigation ditch. With its stiffer, fullyboxed, highstrength steel frame and independent front suspension, the Silverado handled the test with ease. The F350 twisted to the point where the tailgate jammed shut, then buckled from the strain. Next, Bob Maguire Chevy ran a similar test with threequarterton trucks and pointers to measure misalignment between the cab and bed. Misalignment for the Silverado 2500HD: 0.25 inch; for the F250 Super Duty: 1.1 inch.
