Chevrolet Silverado HD Research Hub

The Chevrolet Silverado HD is a heavy-duty pickup truck designed for serious work, powerful towing, and rugged capability. Positioned above the standard Silverado 1500, the HD lineup includes the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, built for customers who need more strength for hauling, towing, or jobsite performance.

Under the hood, the Silverado HD offers two robust engine options: a 6.6-liter gasoline V8 and a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8. The gas engine delivers solid horsepower and torque for everyday work, while the diesel engine offers higher torque output—ideal for towing heavy trailers or fifth-wheel setups. The diesel variant is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery and improved control under load.

Towing and payload are where the Silverado HD truly shines. When properly equipped, it can tow well over 35,000 pounds, depending on the configuration. Features like an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer sway control, multiple camera views, and a transparent trailer view make towing safer and easier.

Inside, the Silverado HD combines utility with modern tech. Lower trims are work-focused and durable, while higher trims like LTZ and High Country offer leather seats, premium audio systems, large touchscreens, and advanced driver assistance features. There’s plenty of room in the crew cab models, making long hauls more comfortable.

Technology includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an available head-up display. Safety options include forward collision alert, lane departure warning, blind-zone monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Built on a high-strength steel frame with a commanding presence, the Silverado HD balances brute power with comfort and connectivity. Whether towing equipment, hauling materials, or heading out on a long-distance drive, it’s a reliable and capable tool for heavy-duty needs.
