What is a 2-door Silverado called?
In the current Chevrolet lineup, a two-door Silverado is officially known as the Regular Cab. The term "Standard Cab" has appeared in older Silverado generations, but today the Regular Cab is the standard two-door configuration, typically paired with a short or standard bed.
Understanding Silverado cab naming
Chevrolet’s cab naming is designed to help buyers distinguish size, seating, and cargo capacity. The two-door variant is identified as the Regular Cab in modern lineups, while four-door options carry different designations depending on the generation and market.
Two-door Silverado terminology
To aid shoppers navigating model years, here are the terms that have been used to refer to the Silverado’s two-door configurations across generations.
- Regular Cab — the current official name for the 2-door Silverado in modern lineups; two front doors and seating for two or three depending on the seat configuration; available with either a short or standard bed.
- Standard Cab — an older term used by some generations to refer to a two-door configuration; largely supplanted by Regular Cab in Chevrolet’s contemporary marketing.
In practice, when inspecting a newer Silverado, the two-door model will be labeled Regular Cab on the window sticker and ordering guides. If you encounter "Standard Cab" in current materials, it may reflect older literature or a pre-2020 generation.
Four-door Silverado configurations (for context)
For comparison, four-door Silverado variants use different names across generations, such as Double Cab (a four-door setup with a smaller rear seating area) and Crew Cab (a larger four-door configuration in some generations). These distinctions influence rear-seat space and overall vehicle footprint.
Summary
The 2-door Silverado is called the Regular Cab in modern terminology, with "Standard Cab" appearing in older generations. When shopping, rely on the model year and the vehicle’s documentation to confirm whether a Silverado is a Regular Cab two-door or a four-door configuration.
