The Chevy Silverado 6500HD Crew Cab…the safest non-CDL vehicle?
I’ve been looking at getting the safest non-CDL vehicle for traveling in.
I noticed the Chevy Silverado 6500HD being used by companies, and found that you don’t need a CDL for it, as its max weight GVWR is 22,500 lb.
At that weight (which you could easily come near with a utility bed), you would actually stand a chance against a severe collision. The vehicle has front airbags, and j believe side airbags (in the model I found irl). A 22,500 lb. lifted truck vs a 80,000 lb. semi truck would at least stand somewhat of a chance versus a 4500 lb. F-150 or Silverado 1500.
What do you all think would be a safer non-commercial vehicle than the Silverado 6500HD Crew Cab? Do you think it would be the safest?
I’m in college, and this, along with a Hummer EV (9000 lb easy to park pickup), are my American dreams. XD
