The new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD delivers impressive towing power with a maximum towing capacity of up to 22,500 lbs when properly equipped. That's plenty of capability for trailers, equipment, and recreational gear.

This heavy-duty performance comes from the available 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine, which produces a staggering 975 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the durable Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, the Silverado 2500 HD handles demanding jobs with confidence and smooth, consistent performance under heavy loads.
