Capability is the Silverado 2500 HD’s calling card. With the available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 delivering 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, it pulls with authority and stability. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine packs a stout 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, and both powertrains pair with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic for confident power delivery whether you are easing a loaded trailer down a gravel lane or merging onto US-183. Chevy’s integrated trailering technology adds confidence with up to 14 available camera views, including Transparent Trailer View. And when it is time to load materials, the high-strength Durabed offers 83.5 cu. ft. of space—more cargo volume than any competitor—plus 12 standard, 500-lb-rated tie-downs.

The available 13.4-inch color touch-screen sits intuitively within reach and pairs with an available 12.3-inch reconfigurable Driver Information Center that puts key data front and center. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility simplify device integration, while available Google built-in brings Google Assistant and Google Maps to the dash for seamless voice control and navigation. On long hauls, OnStar Basics—standard for eight years—adds peace of mind. The cab is designed for comfort and practicality, with supportive seats, smart storage, and available premium materials that hold up to real work without feeling bare-bones. From dawn commutes to Lampasas to late returns from job sites near Brownwood, the Silverado 2500 HD keeps you comfortable and connected.
Every Silverado HD includes advanced safety and driver-assistance features for added confidence, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator. For drivers who tow frequently, available Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and HD Surround Vision improve situational awareness, while Front and Rear Park Assist, Safety Alert Seat, and a Rear Camera Mirror help in crowded job sites or tight driveways downtown.
