2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Review

When it comes down to it, most folks look at the Chevy Silverado 2500 for its towing prowess. These types of trucks can easily double as construction machines thanks to their overall capability.

If you have the Silverado 2500 properly equipped, you can reach a maximum towing capacity of 22,070 pounds. In addition to raw strength, there are various available towing technologies to help make your life a bit easier, such as:

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
• In-vehicle Trailering App
• Head-Up Display
• Up to 14 camera views

The Head-Up Display shows prominent driving information directly on the bottom of your windshield. So, if you need to check speed or navigation, you don’t have to take your eyes off the road. The Hitch Guidance feature and camera views offer unprecedented visibility around your truck as you move, while the In-vehicle Trailering App connects to your phone and allows you to create trailering profiles.

As you might expect, the engine options for the 2024 Silverado 2500 are no joke. These powerplants deliver hefty horsepower and torque figures to help achieve whatever task might be in front of you.

The standard 6.6L V8 makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. If that isn’t enough, you can turn your attention to the 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8 engine that delivers 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. To help it reach these figures, it comes with performance features such as:

• Exhaust brake
• Engine block heater
• 3.42 rear axle ratio

A 10-speed automatic transmission is fitted to either motor and moves smoothly from one gear to the next. A few other standard traits found in this truck include an automatic locking rear differential, black recovery hooks, and an external engine oil cooler.

Use the available Multi-Flex Tailgate if you want to streamline your loading capabilities and accessibility. It supplies six diverse functions that will improve how you load, unload, and access the truck bed. Such functions include:

• Primary Gate
• Easy Access
• Inner Gate Load Stop
• Primary Gate Load Stop
• Full-Width Step

In the truck bed, you get 12 standard tie-downs to secure your materials and belongings. There’s also an optional built-in 120-volt power outlet. With this outlet, you can charge your tools and use them with ease, thanks to the available cargo bed LED lighting that disperses light where it’s needed.
