Muscle and power take center stage with the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500, a heavy-duty truck that can tow, lug, and rev like a champion whilst still affording drivers a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
4 Impressive Features of the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
1. Outstanding Choices for Power
Two powertrains are available with this year’s 2500. The standard option is a very capable 6.6-liter gasoline V8 that makes 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, mating with a gliding six-speed automatic transmission. An available Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel makes 445 horsepower and a mammoth 910 pound-feet of torque, offering some serious grunt and pairing with a smooth-shifting ten-speed automatic transmission. Rear or four-wheel drive is available with both engines.
2. More Capable Than Ever
The Silverado 2500 has a towing capacity of up to 18,500 pounds, contingent on the truck’s configuration; the Duramax engine in the Crew Cab model needs to work on 18 or 20-inch wheels to reach this maximum. This makes the 2500 an above-average tower for its class. The car has a payload rating of between 2,047 and a maximum of 3,979 pounds, the latter being achieved when the Regular Cab pairs with the V8 engine and the long bed.
