150 miles.
And that range can vary
depending on how warm (or
cold) it is outside, which affects
the pressure inside the fuel
tank. When the CNG ECM shuts
the system down, the onboard
computers truck automatically
switches back to gasoline.
The changeover happens
seamlessly, and the only visual
indicators being the light on
the CNG switch blinks, and the
familiar gasoline fuel gauge
reappears on the dash.
Ride, handling &
comfort
As for the Silverado 2500HD
Crew Cab, LT is a comfortable
package. The steering and over-
all handling are excellent, and
the loaded ride is stable.
I noticed a little rear suspen-
sion kick unloaded, exaggerated
when the LT tires are infl ated
to their 80-psi max-load pres-
sure rating. Drop pressures down
to 50 psi, and the ride is much
nicer.
The new truck has the same
body as the new model 1500s
in that the doors are once again
inset into the sides instead of
wrapping up into the roof where
they generated a lot of wind
turbulence.
Driving the 2015 HD at inter-
state speeds has occupants in
a quiet, comfortable cab where
conversations and audio quality
are not being impacted by the
road noise.
The truck also has excel-
lent brakes, and even rolling on
work truck LT tires, it was one
of the best stopping pickups I've
tested, netting a 60 to 0 mph
distance of 140 feet.
As for interior highlights, the
base LT-trim Silverado 2500HD
should never get a complaint.
The cloth seats are comfortable,
storage space is abundant with
a full-width storage tray under
the split-60/40 rear bench seat,
and there're enough creature
comfort amenities to make any
workday in the cab pleasant.
With heated power front seats,
GM's MyLink navigation/audio
system and the other upgrades
that came in the test truck, it was
