The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD is a heavy-duty truck built 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 up to 36,000-pound towing capacity.

Key highlights include up to 470 horsepower and 970 lb-ft of torque via a Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 or standard 6.6L V8 gas engine. The interior is spacious and upscale with available leather and premium finishes. You'll get a 13.4-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, advanced trailering tech, and safety features like HD Surround Vision and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert.

The 3500 HD can handle dual rear wheels for extra stability, and both models feature the Multi-Flex Tailgate and bold LED styling. Ready to explore one? Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or browse our current Silverado HD inventory online.
