How tall is a stock Silverado 1500?

A stock Silverado 1500 sits about 75 inches tall in most configurations (roughly 6 feet 3 inches). The exact height can vary slightly depending on cab type, wheel and tire size, suspension, and drivetrain options.


What determines the height


Several factors influence the overall exterior height of a Silverado 1500. The following elements are the main contributors to how tall a given build sits.



  • Cab configuration (Regular, Double, or Crew Cab): different cab shapes and roof lines can alter the overall height by small margins.

  • Wheel and tire size: larger wheels or taller tires raise the vehicle a bit higher than base setups.

  • Suspension setup and drivetrain: two-wheel-drive versus four-wheel-drive, and any off-road or Z71 suspension packages can add height due to different spring rates and underbody mounting.

  • Bed length: while the bed itself doesn’t dramatically change the roof height, different chassis and body geometries across trims can yield minor height differences.

  • Factory packages and trim level: some higher trims and specific options can slightly affect clearance and overall height.


In practice, most stock Silverado 1500s maintain a similar overall height, with modest variations driven by the combination of cab, drivetrain, and wheel/tire choices.


Typical heights by setup


To give readers a sense of the spread, here are general observations about how tall a stock Silverado 1500 tends to sit across common configurations. Exact numbers can vary by model year and options, so confirm with the official spec sheet for your exact build.



  • Standard 2WD configurations with factory wheels: approximately 75 inches tall

  • 4WD models with off-road or larger wheels/tires: typically slightly taller than base figures

  • Crew Cab variants and other common configurations: height generally remains near the 75-inch mark, with only minor deviations


For most buyers, the Silverado’s height stays close to 75 inches, with only small differences between trims and wheel setups.


How to verify for your exact truck


The most reliable way to know your specific Silverado 1500’s height is to check the official specification sheet for the exact model year, trim, and wheel package. Look for the “Overall height” entry on Chevrolet’s site, your window sticker, or the owner’s manual. If you’re shopping used, request the exact spec sheet for the vehicle to confirm its height.


Where to find the official numbers


Chevrolet’s official brochure and product pages list the overall height for each configuration. Year-to-year variations can occur, so always reference the specs for the exact year and trim of interest.


Summary


In short, a stock Silverado 1500 is generally about 75 inches tall, with small variations driven by cab choice, wheel/tire size, and suspension or drivetrain options. For precision, consult the official spec sheet for the specific year and trim you’re evaluating.
