Overview

Admittedly, not every driver needs a heavy-duty pickup truck. But the Chevy Silverado 2500 is an excellent choice for drivers who regularly tow heavy cargo or haul heavy equipment. This pickup truck also comes in six trim ranges that allow drivers to select their preferred power options at different budgets. A 6.6L gasoline-fired V8 engine is standard for the Silverado 2500 HD. But it also offers a 6.6L turbo V8 engine that unlocks a massive 36,000-pound towing capacity. Both engine options pack a 10-speed automatic transmission, four- or rear-wheel drive and a single or dual rear-axle setup. Despite tipping the scales at an outstanding 8,269 pounds, its diesel engine and insane torque rocket the Silverado 2500 HD from 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

The Chevy Silverado 2500 also boasts a spacious cabin with enough room for a work crew. It offers plenty of convenience and advanced tech features for a truck, including some driver-assistance options optimized for towing.

What's New in This Year's Silverado 2500?

Chevy has packed the Silverado 2500 with a styling refresh for the 2025 models. Its grille, front bumper, and headlamps have been reworked into a more handsome mug, making the truck look sleeker and meaner on the road. The Silverado 2500 also boasts new exterior color options, with the High Country trim now available in a Midnight Edition package that replaces its exterior chrome accents with black palettes. An interior revamp sees this pickup truck to a new 13.4-inch infotainment display and 12.3-inch digital gauge display available to the LT, LTZ and High Country trims. These models also receive a redesigned center console and integrated wireless smartphone charging. Chevrolet has also tweaked the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500's driver assistance features to make them more helpful for towing. The adaptive cruise control feature accounts for increased braking distances and additional drag when towing. The blind spot monitoring system also extends the area it covers for other vehicles when towing. An off-road-focused ZR2 trim joins the already extensive lineup and features a lifted suspension with an electronic locking rear differential, advanced Multimatic spool-valve dampers, 35-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires and steel skid plates. Chevrolet even offers a more aggressive ZR2 Bison trim outfitted with full body modifications by American Expedition Vehicles.

GM fits the 2024 Silverado 2500 with automatic emergency braking and a pedestrian detection system at speeds under 50 mph, a 14-angle surround-view camera system, automatic high beams and a lane departure warning as standard.

Mid-level and above trims get blind-spot monitors and dual truck and trailer side mirrors that are critical for towing.

Pricing and Which Silverado 2500 to Buy

The 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 starts at around $46,395 for the Work Truck and goes as high as $73,995 for the High Country trim. Its popular custom trim costs $49,795, while the mid-range LT begins at $50,395. The LTZ trim makes a big jump at $59,595 because it doesn't come with a Single Cab. The rugged ZR2 trim starts at $72,595, while the fancier High Country model begins at $73,995. The Silverado 2500 model pricing options climb when the driver upgrades to bigger cabs. The turbodiesel V8 engine will also kick you back around $10,000, depending on your preferred configuration and other accessories.

Here's a list of all Silverado HD trims:

Silverado HD Work Truck 

Silverado HD Custom

Silverado HD LT

Silverado HD LTZ 

Silverado HD ZR2 

Silverado HD High Country 

As for choosing the best Silverado HD trim, we'd go with the crew cab and standard cargo bed. The LT trim level can be a towing or hauling machine on the road with all-wheel drive and a Duramax diesel power train fitted. Add the 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, upgraded suspension and spray-in bed liner for improved capability and enhanced styling if possible. On the other hand, the LTZ trim adds comfort and convenience with advanced tech, including heated power front seats trimmed in leather, a 120-volt outlet, a heated steering wheel, remote start, under-seat storage in the rear and dual-zone climate control. These features make the LTZ an excellent choice for drivers looking for maximum comfort and convenience without compromising power. Adding a convenience package to your preferred Silverado 2500 trim will make any model a solid value for its money. The safety package also makes the LTZ trim a worthy contender, thanks to blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear cross-traffic alert system. 

Engine, Transmission and Performance

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 packs serious power. Its standard 6.6L gasoline V8 engine delivers 401 hp and 464 lb.-ft. of torque, making it a serious towing and hauling model in its own right. It can manage a maximum of 19,090 lbs. trailering weight.

Chevrolet also offers the L5P Duramax 6.6L V8 diesel engine with a substantial power and torque bump. The diesel engine option delivers 470 hp and 957 lb.-ft. of torque, which may not sound like much, but the list of upgrades on the diesel engine allows drivers to use the full brunt of its torque in first gear. The diesel engine option can manage a maximum of 36,000 lbs. trailering weight. Both engines connect to an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission and are either rear- or four-wheel drive. The Silverado 2500 offers a segment-leading maximum Crew Cab towing capability of 22,070 lbs. You can be confident knowing it will deliver each time you hitch up with advanced towing technologies added. That said, the big 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 rides surprisingly well and carries to fulfill its impressive capabilities. Visit our online inventory or dealership in Knoxville for more information on the Silverado 2500's impressive engine, transmission and performance.

Fuel Economy

Chevy's Silverado 2500 guzzles both gas and diesel. However, like other heavy-duty trucks, it skips EPA testing. GM also doesn't publish its projected MPG numbers. But drivers can expect about 16 city/20 highway MPG combined with the turbodiesel option.

Thanks to the massive 36-gallon fuel tanks on the crew cab models, drivers shouldn't be making many stops for gas. Talk to our Chevy Silverado experts at West Chevrolet for more specific details on the Silverado 2500's fuel consumption.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Every Chevy Silverado 2500 packs several driver-assistance technologies and trailer-specific assists to make towing easier. Drivers even have a MultiView camera system with a transparent mode to make maneuvering in parking lots easier. The transparent mode allows the driver to see through the trailer, making merging onto the highway and tight spots easier, especially when carrying large cargo. GM also equips the Silverado 2500 models with standard tech such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings and a pedestrian detection system at speeds below 50 mph. The Silverado 2500 has a rear seatbelt reminder, a Buckle to Drive feature that limits the driver's ability to switch from Park without the belt latched and a Teen Driver function that allows caregivers to set parameters and check on other driver's habits. Not only does this pickup truck have physics on its side, but it also has technology to back it up. The forward collision warning with automatic braking and blind-spot monitoring is also optional in most models but standard in top High Country trims. The additional blind-spot monitoring takes up the length of any trailer or cargo that may be connected to the pickup truck. The rearview camera mirror provides a clear view behind the pickup truck without being obscured by cargo.

We recommend considering other safety and driver-assistance options such as a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control and front and rear parking sensors. An available trailing camera system can offer 14 different angles of the truck and trailer.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Chevrolet's new vehicle warranties are limited covers that drivers can enjoy for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Chevy also offers power train covers for up to 5 years or 60,000 miles. However, the diesel engine in the Silverado 2500 extends the mileage to 100,000.

Drivers also enjoy complimentary maintenance that covers their first visit to Chevy-recognized auto centers. Talk to our experienced auto team at West Chevrolet for more information on specific vehicle warranties and maintenance coverages. We do the hard work so we can help you make the right purchase at the best price with financing options available.
