The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD is a rugged heavy-duty truck designed for serious hauling and towing. It comes in two models: the 2500 HD for versatile everyday work, and the 3500 HD for commercial-grade tasks with dual rear wheels.

Power comes from either a standard 6.6L V8 gas engine or an available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, delivering up to 470 horsepower and 970 lb-ft of torque. The 2500 HD can tow approximately 18,500 pounds, while the 3500 HD reaches up to 36,000 pounds when properly equipped. Inside, you'll find a spacious, upscale cabin with available leather seating and premium wood accents, plus a 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in and advanced trailering tech.
