Chevy Silverado Crew Cab vs. Double Cab

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is perfect for light-duty tasks around Sacramento. But how much space do you want in the cab?

Both seat five to six passengers for long drives around Woodland. However, you’ll still find there is a difference between the Chevy Silverado Crew Cab and Double Cab. Since you can only have one cab on your new vehicle, Hanlees Davis Chevrolet has crafted this guide to help you decide between the two most popular Chevy Silverado cab configurations.
