Durabed Cargo Box The high-strength steel construction of the Durabed box, coupled with 12 standard tie-downs makes the Silverado’s hauling capabilities shine.

Fold down the inner gate and you have a better reach into the back of the truck. Weekend projects or the daily grind, it’s a useful feature!
