What year was the first Chevrolet Silverado K2500 Heavy Duty LTZ released?

I want to buy my daughter her dream truck, but newer ones are kind of expensive. I’m hoping I can find her a cheap one by buying an older model. In which year was the very first Chevrolet Silverado K2500 Heavy Duty LTZ released?

Looking for older models of the car you want is a great way to find more affordable options on the market. But you’ll be hard-pressed to find a cheap Heavy Duty Silverado. One of the biggest reasons is that the first
Chevrolet Silverado K2500
Heavy Duty LTZ was released in 2017.
For some cars, even two years is long enough for their value to depreciate significantly. But Chevy’s Heavy Duty trucks are built to last. In fact, the Silverado K2500 is known in many professional communities as a workhorse—a car that can go on hauling for years. In most cases, a Silverado K2500 can last for well over 200,000 miles.
Because the Silverado holds up so well for so long, you probably won’t find a Silverado K2500 in good shape for any less than $30,000. If you want one in good shape with low mileage and any extra features, you can easily be looking at more than $50,000.
But if you’re set on buying a Silverado, there are other ways to keep the costs down. You could cut back on
car expenses
like car washes and detailing or limit your driving throughout the week. Plus, you can use the
