1. Impressive Powertrain

The Chevy Silverado 2500 HD comes with a strong 6.6L V8 gas engine with the option to upgrade to a turbo-diesel version. The standard gas engine outputs 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. As for the diesel engine, it offers 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of what engine you opt for, your Silverado 2500 HD will be equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive for solid engine operation and enhanced traction.

2. Remarkable Towing Capability

When opting for the 2500 HD Crew Cab Long Bed two-wheel drive with a diesel engine and the Trailering Package with the gooseneck/fifth-wheel hitch, you can pull up to a whopping 22,070 pounds.

Apart from its max towing capacity, the vehicle has other great hauling capabilities as well. These include various trailer views for safely maneuvering your trailer, trailer sway control, a trailer brake controller, and hill start assist. Certain trim levels also have trailering support a part of their adaptive cruise control feature.

3. Off-Roading Potential

While the 2500 HD isn’t primarily designed as an off-roading vehicle, it does offer off-roading potential. Standard features ideal for off-road adventures include its standard four-wheel drivetrain, recovery hooks, standard Suspension Package, and automatic locking rear differential.

Some trim levels offer even more off-roading capability with the ZR2 Suspension Package, which offers a high-performance lifted suspension and Multimatic DSSV dampers. The Trail Boss Package also has improved off-roading potential with its black skid plates and larger off-road tires.

4. Advanced Safety

Safety is a critical feature in any vehicle, but not every vehicle offers decent safety features. The Silverado 2500 HD, however, is equipped with advanced safety. Some of the safety features offered in the 2500 HD include an HD rear vision camera, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and a Teen Driver mode to keep youngsters behind the wheel safe. More advanced trims offer even more safety features such as front and rear park assist, a rear cross-traffic alert, and HD surround vision.
