　　Full-size trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can handle most jobs owners throw at them, but sometimes more is needed. That's where the Silverado 2500HD comes in. Many people need the extra towing and payload capacity the 2500HD offers without having to move up to the 3500HD model. And in many cases, some people just simply want a larger and more powerful truck to drive around.

　　Avg. Large Truck

　　The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD's towing capacity maxes out at around 18,500 pounds when properly equipped, and it can carry close to 4,000 pounds of cargo in its bed with the right configuration. These impressive numbers are in part thanks to the truck's powerful gasoline and turbodiesel engines. Chevy also offers the 2500HD in regular-, double- and crew-cab body styles, plus standard or long bed lengths, to further suit your particular needs.

　　To help make towing easier, the Silverado 2500HD offers the Advanced Trailering System and a mobile app that provides custom trailering profiles, pre-departure checklists, trailer lighting diagnostics and more. The Silverado can also be equipped with eight cameras that provide 15 parking, driving and hitch viewpoints. Updates for the 2022 model year are minimal, but Chevrolet did make the handy Multi-Flex tailgate available on all trim levels.

　　The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD provides the power and capability you'd expect from a heavy-duty truck and a roomy and comfortable cabin. One of the truck's main drawbacks, though, is its interior. When compared to the Ford F-250 Super Duty or Ram 2500, the design looks dated, the material quality is lacking, and its tech is subpar. Despite that, we like the Silverado 2500HD and think it's a solid choice for people in the market for a heavy-duty truck.

　　

Which Silverado 2500HD does zzdcar recommend?

If you need a truck that's able to get the job done without many niceties, the WT or Custom trim should suffice. But if you want more than just basic features and the ability to add options and packages, the LT trim is the way to go. The LT trim adds more tech such as a larger touchscreen, onboard Wi-Fi and satellite radio. More importantly, it opens up the availability of many feature packages, special-edition packages and stand-alone options.

　　

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD models

Chevrolet offers the 2022 Silverado 2500HD in three cab configurations: regular cab, double cab (a four-door crew cab but with a smaller rear seating area) and full crew cab. The regular cab is only available with a long bed, but the double and crew cabs can also be configured with a standard bed. Depending on the configuration, you can choose between WT (Work Truck), Custom, LT, LTZ and High Country trim levels.

　　Each trim level has a standard 6.6-liter V8 (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft of torque) paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. A turbocharged 6.6-liter diesel V8 (445 hp, 910 lb-ft) is optional and backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional on most trims.
