2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Overview
Sometimes, you need the power, brawn, and muscle of a truck. And if this explains your situation, the dynamic Chevrolet Silverado 1500 should check the box. But when you need more power, more brawn, and more muscle than what's offered by a light-duty truck, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is built for it. The new 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 holds the badge as the strongest and most capable Silverado ever. It oozes confidence with a stunning exterior and state-of-the-art technology. However, make no mistake, the new 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is built for heavy-duty work. Let's take a closer look at the new 2023 Silverado 2500.
The Perfect Ride For...
If want a truck for truck's sake or for light towing, the Silverado 1500 is most likely more than enough. However, the Silverado 2500 isn't built for the everyday driver. It's exclusively designed for drivers and professions where tremendous amounts of power and durability are a requirement, such as construction work and farming. Fortunately, every element of the new Silverado 2500 is distinctively designed to accommodate doing just that.
For instance, it offers 8 cameras and up to 15 different camera views. While this may seem excessive to the average driver, you can never have enough views when it comes to backing up, hitching up, and maneuvering over inhospitable terrain. The Silverado 2500 also offers some of the latest and most advanced technology and infotainment options on the market. Why? Because all work and no play is no fun. And once your work week is over, the Silverado 2500 is the perfect chariot for whatever you have on your agenda.
Drive and Handling
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is built to make light work of the toughest and most gruesome tasks. And because there are no one-size-fits-all solutions to heavy-duty work, the Silverado 2500 HD offers two fully-capable engines. The 6.6L V8 gas engine is a true show-stopping workhorse. This engine produces up to 401 HP, 464 lb-ft of torque, and has a max trailering weight of 17,370 lbs. The 6.6L V8 gas engine is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission for seamless shifting.
But if you need more power and performance, the iconic Duramax V8 6.6L Turbo-Diesel doesn't disappoint. This legendary engine produces up to 445 HP, 910 lb-ft of torque, and can maneuver up to 36,000 lbs in trailering weight. This engine is mated with another legend — a 10-Speed Allison automatic transmission. Whether you want more power or greater efficiency, the Duramax will typically be the better option.
Here's why: the Silverado HD's Turbo Diesel uses a leaner mixture of fuel-to-air, which leads to lower fuel consumption. This means you will be able to go farther and do more between fill-ups. At the same time, diesel engines use compression combustion instead of the gas engine's ignition. The compression combustion helps yield improved low-speed torque, which leads to greater operating efficiency.
Key Features
Multi-Flex Tailgate
Available on every trim, the Silverado 2500's Multi-Flex Tailgate boasts a total of six different functions that can help you unload, load, and access your cargo bed with ease. With the primary gate, you can even open it from your key fob, the button on the gate, or with a switch on the inside.
In-Vehicle Trailering App
While the power of the Silverado is key, it also includes a host of smart features designed to help you do more with less effort. The available Advanced Trailering System includes an in-vehicle app to make getting hitched up and on your way a less taxing affair. You can create custom pre-departure checklists and even sync different trailer profiles through the myChevrolet Mobile App.
