History/Overview
The current generation of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 – the entry point to the model’s heavy-duty lineup – was launched two years ago, continuing Chevrolet’s century-long story of truck manufacturing.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
This year’s only change is wider availability of the Silverado 2500’s multi-function tailgate, which is now optional across the lineup.
Available Trims
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 trim levels are WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country. You get a choice of two- or four-wheel drive on most trims, with 4x4 being standard on High Country, and there are regular cab, Double Cab and Crew Cab body styles. A 6.6L gas V8 ft is standard with a six-speed automatic transmission; your option is a 6.6L turbodiesel with a 10-speed auto.

Inside, there are vinyl front seats, and a 7.0-inch infotainment display with smartphone connectivity. Power windows and locks are included, too.
