The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD offers two engine choices: a standard 6.6L V8 gas engine for dependable strength on everyday tasks, and an available Duramax(R) 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 that delivers up to 470 horsepower and 970 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with a 10-speed Allison(R) automatic transmission for smooth, reliable performance under load.

The diesel option is ideal if you're tackling heavy hauling and towing regularly. Both engines are engineered to handle demanding workloads with ease.
