I’m a sucker for a photogenic rig, and today’s Silverado is no exception. The full-size Chevy is a popular choice on our forum; recent overland outfitted examples include this 2003 1500HD, 2005 2500HD with a Four Wheel Campers Hawk, and 2012 2500 Z71 Duramax with a Hallmark Guanella LX. Today’s low-mileage 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (53,000 miles) has been uprated for off-grid adventures and is topped with a Six Pac Camper. Full-size pickups such as the Silverado are becoming an increasingly popular choice for travel as they have the power and payload necessary for heavier builds and campers. With more possibilities than ever before to work remotely, an increasing number of travelers are spending weeks, months, or even years on the road, which requires more than basic camping supplies. The Silverado 2500 HD provides up to a 3,350-pound payload, which, combined with a powerful 6.0-liter V8 and 4WD capability, makes it a fantastic option for hauling a fully equipped camper, passengers, and gear cross country.

From the Seller:
“Selling on behalf of my close friend. I will help answer questions here. Serious buyers can direct message me, and I will provide his phone number. The truck and camper are both in immaculate condition.”
