2023 Chevy Silverado 2500

Compared to light-duty trucks, the heavy-duty Silverado 2500HD gives you the power and equipment you need to tow and haul extra weight. But these strong Chevy pickups also put a friendly price on tow-friendly technology, creature comforts, and modern smartphone connectivity.

There are two heavy-duty powertrain options for the Silverado 2500HD:

• Gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft of torque) + six-speed automatic transmission
• Duramax diesel 6.6L V8 (445 hp, 910 lb-ft) + 10-speed automatic transmission
• Standard rear-wheel drive
• Optional four-wheel drive

How much weight you can move with your Silverado 2500HD varies according to which powertrain you select, but body style and equipment also make a big difference. Properly equipped, these heavy-duty trucks can tow up to 18,510 pounds. These Chevy pickups can also haul major payloads, with max ratings of 4,673 pounds.

There are five Silverado 2500HD trim models: Work Truck (WT), Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country. Each adds a little more comfort and convenience to your ride, though the price also goes up as you move up the list.
