The Duramax® diesel enables a Chevy Silverado 3500 HD truck to tow an impressive maximum of 36,000 pounds. The regular cab version of the Silverado 3500 HD, equipped with a dual-rear-wheel axle, can haul up to 7,442 pounds. Those in Olive Branch, MS, seeking a more affordable option with a towing capacity of up to 22,000 pounds can choose the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. For maximum capability, including up to 36,000 pounds of towing, we recommend considering a new Chevy Silverado 3500 HD.

Compare Exterior Size

Buyers in Collierville, TN, can easily distinguish between the Silverado 2500 HD and the 3500 HD by comparing them side by side. The 2500 HD resembles a larger, more rugged version of the Chevy Silverado 1500, while the 3500 HD has a more industrial appearance, evoking a true work truck. The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD has a bulkier design, boosting its towing and payload capacity. In short, the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is a tough workhorse perfect for business owners and anyone who needs a full-size, heavy-duty truck. The Silverado 2500 offers a more affordable price but still provides great capability, making it a smart choice when shopping for a new Chevy Silverado 2500 HD.

Compare Interior, Ride Quality, and Length

The new Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD trucks can range from a basic Work Truck to a luxurious Crew Cab. Both heavy-duty models feature a large dashboard with simple-to-use switchgear. They offer Bartlett, TN, drivers a comfortable ride and a well-designed suspension system. The Crew Cab short-box style has a longer wheelbase than the previous generation, providing more space for passengers. The Silverado 2500 HD measures between 250.0 and 266.1 inches in length, while the Silverado 3500 HD is up to 235.6 inches long. The top-tier interiors include premium features like heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display, and a heated steering wheel.

Compare Performance

The new Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD both come equipped with a standard 6.6-liter gas-powered V8 engine that produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. You can opt for the available Duramax® 6.6-liter diesel V8, which delivers 470 horsepower and 970 pound-feet of torque. The gas engine is standard on the 2500 HD, so if you want the extra power of the turbo-diesel, you might consider making the additional investment.

Each new Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD truck is built to work with either single or dual rear-wheel axles. Memphis, TN buyers interested in the off-road ZR2 model will find it equipped with a lifted suspension that features advanced Multimatic spool-valve dampers, 35-inch all-terrain tires, an electronically locking rear differential, and steel skid plates.
