Our Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD trucks are an awesome solution if you tow heavy trailers or haul heavy equipment on a regular basis. You can get these trucks in a variety of trim levels starting with the basic Work Truck and moving up to the top-echelon High Country model. The powertrain menu for both trucks starts with a standard 6.6-liter gas-powered V8 and you elevate to a 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 in the Silverado 3500 HD. That would provide access to the highest maximum towing capacity. Here's a comparison of the new Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks so you can decide which one to get at your local Chevy dealer, Bradley Chevrolet in Havasu City, AZ.
Engines and performance options
The new Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 3500 HD both come with a standard gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 that can generate 401 horsepower along with 464 pound-feet of torque. You can move up to the available Duramax® diesel 6.6-liter V8 and be in charge of 470-horsepower and 970 pound-feet of torque. The gas engine comes standard on the 2500 HD, so if you want the extra power of the turbo-diesel engine, make sure you specify it.
Every new Chevy Silverado 2500 and new Chevy Silverado 3500 heavy-duty Chevy truck is built to be compatible with a single or dual rear-wheel axle. Lake Havasu City, AZ buyers who want the off-road ZR2 model will get a lifted suspension that includes advanced Multimatic spool-valve dampers, 35-inch all-terrain tires, an electronically locking rear differential and steel skid plates.
Towing and payload
Gasoline-driven Silverado 2500 HD trucks can tow a maximum of 22,000 pounds and with the turbo-diesel engine, the 2500 HD has a maximum payload capacity of 3,689 pounds. With the Duramax® diesel the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD truck can tow a mind-blowing maximum of 36,000 pounds. The regular cab version of the Silverado 3500 HD with a dual-rear-wheel axle can haul up to 7,442 pounds. Those are the kinds of big-time numbers these Chevy trucks offer and aren't available in a standard half-ton pickup. Lake Havasu, AZ drivers who want greater affordability with up to 22,000 pounds of towing can select the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. For the most capability, including up to 36,000 pounds of maximum towing, we recommend investing in the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD truck.
A comparison of exteriors
You can tell the difference between the 2500 HD, and the 3500 HD by looking at them side-by-side. The 2500 HD looks like a bigger, stronger version of the Chevy Silverado 1500, while the 3500 HD looks more industrial, like a real work truck. The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD has a bulkier architecture, allowing this heavy-duty truck to raise its towing and payload game. Ultimately, the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is a major league workhorse that's well-suited for business owners and anyone else who needs to show up with the complete package.
Interior highlights
The new Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD trucks can both run the gamut from a basic Work Truck to a nicely-outfitted Crew Cab. Both heavy-duty trucks have a large dashboard with switch-gear that's easy to use. The Crew Cab short-box body style has a longer wheelbase than the previous generation so you drive away with more passenger space. The most upscale interiors include premium touches like heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display and a heated steering wheel.
