The GM Authority Guide To Chevy’s 2017 Low Cab Forward Medium Duty Trucks

Originally announced back in June of 2015 thanks to a renewed collaboration between GM and Isuzu, the 2017 Chevrolet Low Cab Forward trucks have been a long time coming. Luckily, we now have the order guides for the new Chevy LCFs, providing some much-needed insight into their configuration and availability.

Starting at $40,900, the 2017 Chevy LCF trucks will be offered in these seven work truck models:

  1. 2017 Chevrolet 3500 LCF Gasoline
  2. 2017 Chevrolet 4500 LCF Gasoline
  3. 2017 Chevrolet 3500HD LCF Diesel
  4. 2017 Chevrolet 4500HD LCF Diesel
  5. 2017 Chevrolet 4500XD LCF Diesel
  6. 2017 Chevrolet 5500HD LCF Diesel
  7. 2017 Chevrolet 5500XD LCF Diesel

Each of those have underlying variants that modify the wheelbase, GVWR, and cab. The wheelbases range from 109- to 212-inches, the GVWRs go from 12,000 pounds to 19,500 pounds, and the cabs are either Regular or Crew.
