The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD stands out in the heavy-duty market. Compared to competitors, the Silverado HD delivers 470 horsepower (vs. 400 in the GMC Sierra HD) and 975 lb-ft of torque. Its max towing capacity of 36,000 pounds-twice that of the Nissan Titan XD at 10,900 pounds and well above the Sierra HD at 18,500 pounds-sets a new standard.

Payload capacity is equally impressive: the Silverado HD offers 7,234 pounds, far exceeding the GMC Sierra HD (3,975 lbs) and Nissan Titan XD (2,366 lbs). The Silverado HD also includes standard Advanced Trailering System technology not available on competitors, plus available tonneau cover options.

Whether for heavy hauling or everyday driving, the Silverado HD delivers greater horsepower, torque, and capability. Visit Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or browse new inventory to see why the Silverado HD is the ideal choice for tough jobs.
