The Silverado 2500HD is the Heavy Duty version of Chevrolet's full-size pickup truck. For the latest model Chevrolet spent considerable time and effort reworking the powertrains and chassis underpinning the truck, but stopped short of a major reworking of the trucks' sheet metal.

One of the most significant changes for the Silverado HD will be the class-leading 6.6-liter Duramax diesel, which boasts 397 horsepower and 767 lb-ft of torque. the new Duramax provides for an extra 32 horsepower and an additional 105 lb-ft of torque over last year's engine. The Duramax engine's new glow plugs can prepare the engine for starts in as little as 3 seconds in -20F weather.

A 36-gallon gas tank is now standard, giving the 6.6-liter Duramax a roughly 680-mile range.
An enhanced Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission will also be part of the new package. It will come with tap up/tap down driver shift control and an elevated idle mode to speed the warm-up process. GM says that the transmission helps 6.6-liter 2500 HD models accelerate to 60 mph in less than 9 seconds, a 0.3 second improvement over the outgoing model.

The standard 360-horsepower 6.0-liter Vortec V8 engine's new camshaft profile helps the engine produce more torque lower in the rpm band, for improved launch feel and a greater feeling of overall performance when towing a trailer and at higher altitudes. The revised and optional 397-hp/765 lb-ft of torque (335-hp/685 lb-ft of torque with Box Delete option) B20 biodiesel-capable Duramax 6.6-liter diesel is more powerful and durable, and the Allison 1000 transmission is stronger for 2011.

The stiffer, fully-boxed frame improves durability and ride, while supporting increased capability. The redesigned torsion bar front suspension allows for a greater front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The rear suspension uses wider leaf springs - now asymmetrical to reduce axle hop - that contribute to improved ride and handling characteristics and increased rear GAWR.

 Larger brakes deliver smoother, more immediate and confident-feeling performance and diesel engines now include an exhaust brake. Stability control, hill start assist and a trailer sway control system are standard. Available features include mobile WiFi, USB connectivity, rear back-up camera, Bluetooth connectivity, XM satellite radio, OnStar 9.0 and a navigation system.

A new frame, an improved Vortec V8, a new Duramax diesel and revised Allison transmission, new front and rear suspensions, and an improved brake system combine to make Chevy Silverado 2500HD one of the most capable line of trucks on the road.
