Depth of 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500

Hi I got a new 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 & the dealer told me that the bed box was 3-4" deeper than my 2007 1/2 Chevy Silverado 2500,Anybody know the different,I don't have my truck anymore so not sure,Just by looking don't look any different,Just wondering for towing the fifth wheel,Thanks

    Your dealer wasn't quite correct (Surprise...) 2007 (last body style) is when the bed sides moved higher than previous years by a few inches. Current body style (2015) should be the same as your 2007.5 in terms of bed height

    I can't lift a heavy box over the side of the bed anymore and easily place it
    on the bed floor

    Same GVWR/GAWR/etc, but just taller for the appearance of being more
    capable


    You sure you're not just getting shorter with age? LOL! jk

    OP , you should be able to do some measurements on your new truck to determine how you are going to have to set your hitch up. I know my FIL's 2003 Chevy 4X4 had like 10" of clearance between the bed and the 5er but when he went to the 2013 Chevy that space went to like 8". The bed wasn't deeper the truck just got taller.
