What Is So Enticing About the 2024 Silverado 2500 HD?
To understand a truck, we have to know it, so let’s take a brief look at the 2500 HD. From the looks of it, it’s clear that this truck was made for towing, hauling, and anything else a job might entail. Its rugged frame and no-fuss interior give drivers the power they want without skimping on the comfort and modern conveniences they would expect from a high-performing truck like the 2500 HD. Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of a 2500 HD will be pleased to see they can choose between a gas and diesel engine. When equipped with the power and force of a Chevy Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V8, the 2500 HD makes light work of hauling your heaviest loads. For 2024, Chevy made the 2500 HD even more enticing thanks to its modern interior that includes an upgraded infotainment system for the LT trim level. We also find more black with a glossy finish in the High Country Midnight Edition.
A Great Daily Ride
Let’s just say this right now; heavy-duty trucks are not the most efficient options out on the road due to their size and larger engines. While it might be true that HD trucks are heavier and use a little more fuel than your typical vehicle, Chevy is working to provide efficient engine choices that work for your everyday ride. Thanks to the Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V8, you’ll find that the 2500 HD is extremely fuel efficient, considering its size and weight. The other good news? The Duramax diesel engine has been refined for better output with an increased torque of 975 lb-ft plus an enhanced horsepower of up to 470 hp.
2024 also means that the Silverado 2500 HD will come standard with an Allison ten-speed automatic transmission. This is great news if you’re hoping to make the HD your daily vehicle. With this transmission, the HD’s standard 6.6L V8 gas engine will see better performance and better engine-braking control. The new ten-speed configuration offers enhanced handling, smoother shifting, and more control for drivers.
User-Friendly Tech at Your Fingertips
We love the 2500 HD’s commanding presence. However, when you slip into the driver’s seat, there’s no doubt that you are in control. Imagine being able to harness all that power with just the touch of a button and the push of a pedal. Well, the Silverado 2500 HD makes it possible.
The heavy-duty machine has been redesigned inside for a modern feel that sees the cabin centered around the driver. The newly available larger touchscreen beats out the competition while making it easier than ever to stay connected on the road. Combine that with the convenience of Google Built-In to get access to the best Google has to offer with a completely personalized drive experience, hands-free! Advanced trailering technology combined with 14 different camera views makes bringing along that small trailer or your boat for a weekend of fun less stressful. Backing up, hitching up, or heading down the road is streamlined thanks to available features like Transparent Trailer View, Trailer Blind Spot Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering, all of which are designed to make towing and hauling safer and easier than ever.
The Heavy-Duty Truck Bed
What’s a pickup truck without a bed? The Silverado 2500 HD truck bed is designed to make your day easier. The standard bed delivers 69.5 cu.ft. of cargo room, or extend that with the long bed that provides 83.5 cu.ft. of space. That’s more cargo room than any other heavy-duty truck. Worried you’ll have trouble accessing all that space? The 2500 HD’s Integrated BedStep gives drivers access to your truck’s bed even in the event that a trailer is hooked up.
To make loading and unloading your truck bed easier than ever, drivers can upgrade their tailgate to Chevy’s exclusive Multi-Flex Tailgate. This feature is capable of six different functions, including a step-up and additional workspace. Whether you’re loading up daily essentials or camping equipment, the 2500 HD is designed to make your day a little easier.
