Light-duty trucks may be all fine and well for most drivers, but if you need more capacity than the average pickup can provide, it's time to upgrade to a heavy-duty model. The 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD is a great truck that's built for hard work from the wheels up and is loaded with useful features that make it safe and comfortable to drive, whether you're headed down to your local hardware store or across state lines for a big road trip. Trim levels range from the no-frills Work Truck to the luxurious High Country to the off-road-ready ZR2.
The Silverado HD got a redesign for the 2024 model year, with several changes inside and out. Drivers now get more styling options, larger infotainment displays on higher trim levels, and an even more powerful available diesel engine. Here at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford, we want to make sure that you have all of the latest information about quality Chevy trucks like the Silverado 2500 HD so that you can shop with confidence. If you're interested in learning more about this powerful pickup, you've come to the right place.
Starting at
The Silverado 2500 HD is available with two capable powertrains. The standard option is a 6.6L V8 gasoline engine. It can produce 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty of power to tackle difficult jobs. However, if you want to unlock the maximum towing capacity, you'll want to upgrade to the 6.6L V8 Duramax turbo-diesel. This brings 470 hp and a whopping 975 lb-ft of torque to the table. Reengineered for the new model year, the diesel powertrain on the 2024 Silverado 2500 HD produces 25 more hp and 65 more lb-ft of torque than the already impressive stats of the 2023 model because Chevrolet is always working hard to innovate and improve upon its trucks.
Another update for the 2024 model year is that Chevy's 10-speed Allison automatic transmission now comes standard for both engines. In previous models, the gas engine came standard with a six-speed automatic. Bumping that six up to a ten means there are smaller steps between the gears, allowing the engine to better maintain peak power and making for smoother shifts. Between adding on-demand power and control, this change makes for a more refined driving experience.
When equipped with the Max Trailering Package, which is now available across all trim levels, and the diesel powertrain, the 2024 Silverado 2500 HD can tow a trailer weighing up to 22,500 lbs. You can also put plenty of gear in the bed since it can carry up to 3,850 lbs of payload. These high figures are what separate this truck from the Silverado 1500 and give hard workers the performance they need to tackle heavy loads.
Chevy's off-road ZR2 trim has long been an option on the midsize Colorado, and it made its way to the Silverado 1500's lineup for the 2022 model year. Now it's available with even more power on the Silverado HD. This rough and ready trim can tackle the elements with a suspension system that's designed to handle uneven terrain. All-terrain tires provide traction on all kinds of trails, and additional specialized features turn this dependable work truck into a thrilling ride that's built for adventure.
Since the front end of your truck is the first thing people will see when you roll up, it's good to have a bold facade that will make a good impression. The 2024 Silverado 2500 HD delivers an updated face that looks powerful yet refined, sure to command the attention of any onlookers. The shape of the headlights has been altered, and the front fascia and grille have also been reworked to create a handsome, chiseled look that's sure to stand the test of time, no matter how many miles you rack up on the odometer.
On the LTZ, ZR2, and High Country trims, those refreshed headlights aren't just aesthetically arranged in a new way. They're now LED lamps with dual-projector technology. That means the main beams and the brights are split into dual functions. Approach the truck with the key fob in your pocket, and the headlights will launch into an animated sequence like a truck of the future. The sequence also plays as you walk away after leaving the cabin.
Step inside, and you'll find that the interior has some new touches as well. The designers gave the cabin an open feeling that provides you and your passengers with plenty of space and is full of features that are helpful and intuitive. Higher trim levels like the LT, LTZ, and High Country now come with a nice, big infotainment screen that measures 13.4 inches diagonally, so you can see all your stats, navigation directions, and other info at a glance. There's also a 12.3-inch driver information center, replacing analog dials behind the steering wheel with a configurable digital display. A wireless device charger is also available, so you can keep your phone powered up without keeping track of charging cables.
That's just the tip of the iceberg for interior upgrades. Some trims now come with more authentic leather-wrapped features and genuine wood accents that give the cabin a classy look and feel. More space in the center console allows for extra cup holders. The center console also gets new audio control knobs and physical buttons that are shortcuts for popular features, so you don't need to rely on the touchscreen for everything. There are also more interior storage options, including some hidden storage for keeping valuables out of sight, and climate control vents for the back row, so your passengers can stay comfortable even when the weather gets bad.
The 2024 Silverado 2500 HD comes standard with several driver-assistance features that can help you drive with confidence. Forward Collision Alert lets you know when you're getting too close to another vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, so you can quickly hit the brakes and avoid hitting them. If you don't react in time, Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking can step in, and the system can supplement your manual braking if you don't hit the brakes hard enough. Lane Departure Warning comes in handy on the highway, letting you know when you're starting to drift out of your lane. The Following Distance Indicator is also helpful on longer drives: it shows you, in seconds, how much distance is between you and the vehicle in front of you, so you can stay aware of your situation and maintain a safe following distance at all times.
Since heavy-duty trucks are often used for towing, Chevy has made a point to upgrade and add several driver-assist features specific to trailering. For instance, the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer is an all-new technology that accounts for the weight of your trailer, calculating the extra braking distance required to give your truck enough time to slow down when traffic patterns change suddenly. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert now accounts for the presence of a trailer, expanding what it considers to be your blind zone accordingly. The available Transparent Trailer view, which uses cameras to let you "see through" your trailer via the infotainment screen, has been upgraded as well, and it's now compatible with fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers. Finally, a GCW alert will automatically let you know if you've exceeded your truck's Gross Combined Weight Rating, so you won't accidentally hit the road with an unsafe amount of cargo.
Whether you use your truck to work hard or play hard, we have what you're looking for here at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet of Buford. Chevy's truck lineup is expansive, so if the Silverado 2500 HD isn't quite right for you, there are plenty of other options. If you don't need the impressive capacities of a heavy-duty truck, then you can check out the light-duty Silverado 1500 or even the midsize Colorado.
