The 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD offers two different powertrains for truck shoppers, available in different drivetrain configurations, including rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The two different powertrains provide the Silverado 2500 HD with enough gusto and performance to carry out its heavy-duty tasks. The first engine is the always reliable gas-powered 6.6-liter V8, which delivers 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. With a 10.8:1 compression ratio and an Allison ten-speed automatic transmission with available power takeoff, you get a lot of functionality and performance out of the gas-powered V8 for the Silverado 2500 HD.
For those who need a more torque-centric powertrain, the 6.6-liter Duramax turbocharged V8 diesel engine gives you everything you need and then some. With all new power ratings for the 2024 model year, the Duramax turbo-diesel now generates 470 hp at 975 lb-ft of torque. This enables drivers to get even more performance out of the Duramax than ever before.

A big selling point of three-quarter-ton pickup trucks is their ability to tow and trailer heavy loads without being as expensive as the one-ton heavy-duty trucks, giving them a good position as a cross-section selection between the three different full-size truck segments. When configured with the V8 gas engine, you can expect to tow up to 16,000 lbs.

The standard conventional towing tops out at 20,000 pounds with the NHT towing and suspension upgrade package paired with a long bed.

With the proper equipment from the NHT Package, you can push the Duramax even further thanks to the model year performance update, enabling you to trailer up to 22,500 lbs.
The 2024 Silverado 2500 HD is also available in three different cab formats, including Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab. The V8 gas-powered engine also allows you to haul thousands of pounds in the bed, which can be configured either as a standard bed or as a long bed. You can expect to haul up to 3,759 lbs in the rear bed with the gas-powered engine configured in a Regular Cab. When it comes to the Duramax turbo-diesel, you can expect to haul up to 3,850lbs with a Regular Cab and four-wheel drive configuration.

The Silverado 2500 HD has undergone some much-anticipated updates for the 2024 model year, including an all-new fascia that modernizes the three-quarter-ton pickup for those looking for a heavy-duty Silverado with more updated stylistic changes. 2023 brings all-new headlight designs with C-line daytime running lights, an updated grille, and a bolder stance.
