Chevrolet trucks 3.5-12 t (class N2) – collective page for the EU medium-truck class: heavy US pickups and SUVs of the 2500/3500 range such as Suburban, Tahoe, Avalanche and Duramax diesels, engines from 37 to 330 kW
The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Chevrolet range recorded in that class. Chevrolet was founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William Durant in Detroit and has belonged to General Motors since 1918. Unlike the lighter N1 page, this covers the heavy 2500 and 3500 versions of the US pickup and SUV ranges: Suburban, Tahoe and Avalanche as large SUVs with correspondingly high gross vehicle weights, plus Silverado HD pick-ups and the Express panel van, many with the Duramax diesel engine.

The register lists 456 versions, with recorded outputs of 36.8 to 330 kW, displacements of 2,800 to 8,200 cm³ across 4 to 8 cylinders, kerb weights of 1,600 to 8,995 kg and gross vehicle weights of 3,510 to 11,990 kg; width ranges from 1,780 to 2,570 mm, length from 4,400 to 11,560 mm.
The span thus runs from near-SUV 2500 models just above the N1 threshold to panel-van versions at nearly 12 t, showing the breadth of what counts as a "truck" in this class.
On a used example, what matters on the Duramax diesels is the injection system and turbocharger, on the heavy pick-ups the brakes and tow hitch, on converted van versions the quality of the conversion and its registration papers, and frame corrosion generally. Spare parts for US imports usually run through specialised dealers.
