How wide is a Chevy Silverado 2500?
In most configurations, the Chevy Silverado 2500 is about 80 inches wide excluding mirrors, and roughly 92 to 97 inches wide when you include the standard factory side mirrors. Exact width can vary with cab style, bed length, tire size, and the type of mirrors installed.
Understanding the measurement
Automotive width figures typically refer to the curb-to-curb distance across the widest part of the vehicle. For pickups like the Silverado 2500, the base body width remains fairly consistent, while the overall width changes when you factor in the side mirrors—especially if you have larger tow mirrors or aftermarket extensions. This means two common reference points exist: the body width (no mirrors) and the width with mirrors folded or extended.
Width by configuration
Below are typical width figures you’ll encounter for common Silverado 2500HD layouts. These numbers reflect current production or near-current specs and may vary slightly by year, trim, or optional equipment.
- Body width (excluding mirrors): 80.0 inches (203.2 cm)
- Overall width with standard factory mirrors: about 96.7–97.4 inches (245–247 cm)
- Maximum practical width with extended/towing mirrors: up to about 100 inches (254 cm)
In practice, the body width is the same across Regular, Double, and Crew Cab configurations, while the overall width can shift a notch higher if you equip larger towing mirrors or aftermarket accessories. For garage door clearances, park dimensions, or off-road parkurs, always verify the exact spec for your specific year and build.
Where to find exact numbers
For precise measurements, consult the official Chevrolet/GM spec sheet for your model year and configuration. Dealers, owner manuals, and the GM website typically publish the exact curb-to-curb width with or without mirrors. If you’re checking fitment for a garage, trailer, or lift, measuring your vehicle directly or requesting the exact spec from the dealer is the safest approach.
Summary
Width depends on configuration. The Silverado 2500’s body width sits around 80 inches, while the overall width with standard mirrors sits around 96.7 to 97.4 inches. With larger towing mirrors or aftermarket setups, it can approach 100 inches. Always confirm the exact figures for your specific year and trim to ensure accurate measurements for parking, storage, or alignment with access points.
