Chevy 6500 Interior Highlights and Safety Features

A truck with incredible power requires advanced features to protect your crew and your cargo. All Silverado models are designed and built with job site conditions in mind, so you can expect durable, long-lasting materials inside and out. In addition, technologies like a driver information center (available with either a 3.5-inch or 4.2-inch display) make it easier to monitor a trailer and tackle difficult terrain with ease. And don’t forget about comfort: long days are no problem when you’ve got in-cabin amenities like 40/20/40 split-bench front seats with driver and front passenger recline.

Looking to protect your tools and supplies when you’re away from the job site? Getting work done after daylight hours? The Chevy 6500 makes it possible with these features and more:

  • Available rear-view camera
  • Theft-deterrent system available on select trims
  • Cab roof-mounted lamp
  • Overhead console
  • Available emergency lamp
