Full-size trucks like the Silverado 1500 can handle most jobs that drivers throw at them. But sometimes, you need a little more.That’s where the 2500 HD comes in. Some people require the extra towing capacity and payload that the Silverado 2500 HD offers without moving to the 3500 HD model. Others just want a larger and more powerful truck.
When equipped correctly, the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD’s towing maxes out at 18,500 pounds. It can carry approximately 4,0000 pounds of cargo with the correct configuration. These high numbers are thanks to the truck’s powerful gasoline and turbo diesel engines. Chevrolet also offers the Silverado 2500 HD in regular, double, and crew-cab styles. Standard or long bed lengths are also available to fit your needs.
To make towing more manageable, the 2500 HD has an Advanced Trailering System and an app that provides pre-departure checklists, custom trailering profiles, trailer lighting diagnostics, and more! The 2500 HD can also have eight cameras, providing fifteen parking, driving, and hitch viewpoints.
The Chevrolet 2500 HD has the power and capability you’d expect from a heavy-duty truck, along with a spacious and comfortable cabin. One of the Silverado’s main drawbacks is its interiors. Compared to the Ram 2500, or the Ford F-250 Super Duty, the design seems dated. The material quality is another issue, along with its outdated tech.
