5 Must-See Features of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD That Define Heavy-Duty

1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine

Every Silverado 2500 trim comes with a standard 6.6L V8 gas engine yielding 401 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. With a traditional trailer hitch, this engine provides a maximum towing capacity of 14,500 pounds. With a gooseneck trailer hitch, you’ll achieve an impressive maximum towing capacity of 17,370 pounds.

2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine

If you’re in need of something with a little more power and stronger towing capabilities, there’s an available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine for the Silverado 2500. This engine supplies 470 horsepower at 2800 rpm with 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm. It reaches a maximum towing capacity of 22,070 pounds.

3. Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission

Both of the Silverado 2500’s engine options are paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, creating seamless acceleration and smooth-shifting performance. This transmission includes Tow/Haul mode, reducing shift cycling and improving cooling whenever you’re hauling a heavy load. It also has auto-grade braking that downshifts automatically when needed to help slow the vehicle on downhill grades by enabling engine braking.

4. Durabed

Heavy, abrasive material is no match for the Chevy Silverado’s Durabed! This truck bed is made with roll-formed steel that gives it increased strength to stand up against the most damaging materials, including rocks, glass, and metal. The Silverado’s Durabed also has twelve fixed cargo ti-downs that are rated at 500 lbs. per corner, which makes securing hefty loads easier than ever.

5. Chevy Trailering Package

The Silverado 2500 HD comes with Chevy’s exclusive Trailering Package that includes everything you need for efficient towing. The Chevy Trailering Package has a conventional trailer hitch, a 2.5-inch receiver hitch, a trailering hitch platform, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and a 7-wire electrical harness for connecting your trailer’s light and brakes to your truck. This package also comes with Hitch Guidance, a helpful digital feature that lets you view your trailer and hitch at all times through an in-cabin display.
