Carrying the Weight

Payload, Towing and Hauling

Silverado 2500HD Regular Cab with a diesel engine can tow up to 17,800 lbs.† The Regular Cab equipped with a gas engine has a maximum payload capacity of 4,212.† The Tow/Haul Mode enhances performance while pulling a trailer or hauling heavy loads. When activated, this feature modifies the automatic transmission shift schedule and helps reduce throttle pedal activity by the driver while traveling over rolling terrain.

Auto grade braking, which uses transmission downshifts to allow engine compression braking to slow the vehicle and its load, works in and out of Tow/Haul mode on the Vortec® 6.0L engine.

The Force Behind the Fuel
Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 and Allison® Transmission

Together, the available Duramax® diesel engine and legendary Allison® transmission have been proving their reliability in the field and on the job for over a decade.

Our Duramax Diesel has impressive torque and horsepower, as well as impressive towing numbers. On a 36-gallon tank (approx.), the Duramax offers up to 680 highway miles†. It’s B20 biodiesel-compatible† and runs cleaner by using diesel exhaust fluid.

The heavy-duty Allison® 6-speed transmission harnesses the power of the available Duramax. To make sure it can handle increasing torque, we’ve packed it with a stronger torque converter, a larger diameter output shaft and more robust clutches.

E85 Capable

The Vortec® 6.0L V8 engine, standard on Silverado 2500HD, can operate on E85†, which is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. As a mostly renewable fuel, it can reduce our dependence on petroleum and help reduce tailpipe emissions.

Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist

Useful for when you’re hauling heavy loads, Trailer Sway Control senses when a trailer starts to sway and automatically applies the truck’s brakes while reducing engine power. This feature works to let you get your truck back on track if necessary. If you’re stopped on inclines greater than 5%, Hill Start Assist automatically kicks in to keep the truck in place for about a second to give you just enough time to accelerate before the truck can roll backward.

Read Important Information about trailering.

Well-Crafted Trucks Built on a Solid Foundation

Our chassis features a high-strength, fully-boxed steel frame and suspension that lets Silverado 2500HD handle large loads and provide the ride quality the driver deserves.

The independent front suspension allows each front wheel to react independently to rough terrain. The steering knuckle is tall and heavy to better manage larger capacities. Precision-machined forged upper control arms support the truck’s strength. These front suspension components help to keep each wheel in a vertical position and more firmly planted on the road.

The rear suspension has 3-inch leaf springs with an asymmetric design that helps handle increased payloads. The staggered rear shocks are designed to help dampen the vertical movement of the truck. These rear suspension components both help to reduce wheel hop on acceleration.

4x4 6,000-lb. Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (FGAWR).

The front suspension contains huge precision-machine forged upper control arms and torsion bars along with the largest steering gear we’ve ever used on a heavy-duty pickup truck, which supports up to a 6,000-lb. front gross axle rating. So every HD 4x4 model including our powerful Duramax® Diesel can accommodate a snow plow with the available Snow Plow Prep Package. Silverado HD incorporates torsion bars that allow an owner to adjust the front of the vehicle back to its normal ride height, even with the weight of a plow attached.

680 miles per tank

Silverado’s Natural Extension Of Fuel Efficiency

Bi-Fuel Silverado 2500HD can Switch Between Gasoline and Natural Gas

Continuing a commitment to cleaner, more efficient vehicles, Chevrolet is offering both fleet and retail consumers an all-new bi-fuel Silverado 2500HD Extended Cab that seamlessly switches between gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG).

Chevy is currently taking orders for the trucks that will be on the road early 2013.

Feel Secure While Commanding the Road

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD safety features

StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System

This feature is helps you keep on the road and stay in control. The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle’s actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual applications to help you keep on track.

On uphill inclines greater than 5%, Hill Start Assist automatically engages to hold the truck stationary for about a second after the brake is released, giving you time to accelerate before the truck can roll backward. The Trailer Sway Control feature senses trailer sway and automatically applies the truck’s brakes to help reduce sway and help maintain control.


Secure Braking System

The Diesel Exhaust Braking System, included with the Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel, uses the technology of a variable vane geometry turbo to create back pressure in the engine to slow the vehicle down. That means reduced brake fade, prolonged brake life, and more confidence on steep grades. Auto Grade Braking automatically downshifts the transmission to help slow down the truck— and give you more control— when you apply the brakes while descending long, steep grades. With Intelligent Brake Assist, the calipers are preloaded, so when the system senses a panic-braking situation, the brakes can be fully applied more quickly. In addition to these powerful safety features, the Silverado comes equipped with 2 standard airbags with the option of upgrading to 6 airbags† total to keep your safety covered even beyond prevention.

How Sustainable is the Silverado?

Check out its “Ecologic” Features. Here at Chevrolet, we believe in being a responsible steward of our environment. Recently, we’ve developed a new way to communicate some of the environmentally significant features of each vehicle we make. We call it “Ecologic.”

Every aspect of Ecologic is audited by Two Tomorrows, an independent third party sustainability auditor. To learn more about Ecologic and the Two Tomorrows’ process, click here.

Fuel-Saving Technologies

Engines have been factory-filled with engine oil meeting GM’s new dexosTM specification, which has improved viscosity characteristics as compared to the previous GF-4 oil, contributing to better fuel economy.

On the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L and 6.2L V8 engines, Continuously Variable Valve Timing (VVT) adjusts airflow in and out of the combustion chamber under all engine speeds, which makes for better fuel economy and lower emissions. On the 5.3L V8 engine, Active Fuel ManagementTM deactivates fuel delivery to 
4 cylinders in lighter-load conditions, such as highway cruising, which improves fuel economy. On the 6.6L Diesel V8 engine, the 29,000 psi piezo-actuated common-rail fuel-injection system uses minimal hydraulic control energy, to maximize fuel economy.

Responsible Manufacturing

The transmission facilities are landfill-free. These facilities use a process to reuse, recycle or convert to energy all waste created in their daily operations, which conserves resources.

Both the Fort Wayne, IN, and Silao, MX, assembly facilities are landfill-free. These facilities use a process to reuse, recycle or convert to energy all waste created in their daily operations, which conserves resources. The Romulus, MI, engine facility, along with the Toledo, OH, and Baltimore, MD, transmission facilities, feature designated habitat areas certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council, which provide ecological benefits.

Landfill gas supplies a portion of the energy needed to heat and cool the Toledo, OH, and Baltimore, MD, transmission facilities, which makes the facility less reliant on fossil fuels.

End-of-Life Recyclability

After the vehicle’s useful life, 85% of it is recyclable. The majority of its components can be broken down and recycled, which conserves resources and reduces landfill deposits.
