8 Reasons the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Dominates the Heavy-Duty Market
1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine
The 2024 Silverado 2500 has a powerful 6.6L V8 gas engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for the best possible performance. With this combination, you’ll get an astonishing 401 HP at 5200 rpm alongside a whopping 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm.
2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 Engine
The available 6.6L Duramax engine makes the Silverado 2500 a perfect pickup for heavy-duty towing. This engine provides a maximum towing capacity of up to 22,500 pounds along with 470 HP and 975 lb.-ft. of torque.
3. Trailering Package
Every Chevy Silverado 2500 comes with a complete Trailering Package that helps streamline the towing process. This package includes a hitch, a 2.5-inch receiver hitch, a hitch platform, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and a 7-pin sealed connector that allows you to connect your trailer’s lights and brakes to your vehicle.
4. Durabed
Something that sets the Silverado lineup apart from competitors is the high-strength steel Durabed. You never have to worry about damaging your truck bed with gravel or other abrasive materials, and with twelve cargo tie-downs that are rated at 500 pounds per corner, you can haul the heaviest loads.
5. Power Up and Down Tailgate
The available Power Up-and-Down tailgate makes it easier than ever to load cargo into the bed of your Silverado pickup. This tailgate opens and closes with the simple push of a button. The Power tailgate is available on the LT and LTZ and comes standard on the ZR2 and High Country.
6. Multiple Camera Views
The Silverado 2500 comes with a variety of different camera views that can help with towing and various work projects. This includes front and rearview cameras along with an available bed-view camera. Using the Hitch Guidance feature, you can view your trailer and hitch with a rear vision camera directed specifically at your hitch and the area surrounding your trailer.
7. CornerStep Rear Bumper
With the Silverado’s CornerStep rear bumper, you can climb up into your truck bed quickly and securely. This specially designed bumper has an open foot insert located at each corner. Just place your foot inside for more stable footing while accessing cargo in your truck bed.
8. StabiliTrak
StabiliTrak electronic stability control maintains your truck’s traction and stability during fast emergency maneuvers. StabiliTrak automatically adjusts your engine torque and brakes during rapid maneuvers and reduces engine power when it detects wheel slippage.
