The gasoline-powered Silverado HD can tow up to 17,400 pounds, and the diesel version can pull up to 36,000 pounds.

This setup delivers capability without sacrificing comfort.

For 2026, the Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 gains a few notable updates. The Technology package is now standard, bringing advanced tech features without the need to add an extra bundle. Chevy also makes the Multi-Flex tailgate standard on the ZR2, boosting convenience for loading, hauling, and tailgate functionality. On the style front, the truck introduces two fresh exterior color options—White Sands and Polar White—while retiring Iridescent Pearl and Slate Gray. A new set of 20-inch bright aluminum finish 12-spoke wheels replaces the previously available polished wheel options.
Inside, changes are minimal but worth noting: floor liners with removable carpet inserts are no longer offered. Overall, the 2026 Silverado HD ZR2 keeps its rugged, off-road-ready stance but sharpens its packaging with streamlined options and a bit more standard content.
