What's New
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD hits its mid-generation refresh and receives front-end styling inspired by the Silverado 1500, updated powertrains with more towing capacity, and new exterior colors. Inside, the upper trims receive new designs with updated technology. The new year also sees the debut of the off-road-ready ZR2 trim later on.
Choosing Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
The Silverado 2500HD is offered in five trims, the WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country, and base prices range from $45,295 to $72,895
Engine Choices
The Silverado is available with a 6.6-liter gas V8 or a 6.6-liter diesel turbocharged V8. The gas engine produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque and the revised 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 “Duramax” now produces 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 RPM. Both are mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The diesel powertrain is expensive at $9,490 as it also includes a number of chassis and electrical upgrades for hard-working jobs.
Rear-wheel drive is standard and a four-wheel-drive system with low range is offered for $2,800 that features an automatic setting on the LTZ and is standard on the High Country.
Due to the expected varying use of the heavy-duty pick-up truck, the EPA has not rated this vehicle.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Silverado 2500HD is available as a standard cab on the WT and LT trims, an extended cab with forward-hinged doors on all but the High Country, and a crew cab with 43.4 inches of rear legroom available on all trims. The bed can be ordered as an eight-foot or 6.75-foot length. The popular crew cab and short bed length configuration has an overall length of 250 inches which is identical to the Ford F-250 with a similar configuration. A front bench is standard which allows for a maximum of six seats, however, the High Country’s standard center console limits the count to five.
The towing ratings vary on the body and drivetrain configurations. The diesel engine maxes out at 20,000 pounds for a ball hitch trailer or 22,500 pounds when using a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch. The Gooseneck / 5th Wheel Package is offered for $1,365 on the WT.

The 2500HD is equipped with active features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a forward-distance indicator, an HD rearview camera, and automatic headlights. An optional Safety Package is offered on the WT ($845) and Custom and includes blind spot detection, rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert. The LT’s Safety Package additionally includes trailer provisions for the blind spot zone, HD surround-view cameras with one for the bed, and the trailering app which helps confirm certain safety functions of the trailer and allows additional cameras to be integrated into the infotainment display for $1,385.
