IRON WILL.
Information Provided by:
The small-block V8 has been a dependable workhorse for
millions of Chevy truck owners. That heritage continues
with the new 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, which comes
standard with the Vortec 6.0L V8. Developed for heavy-duty
applications, the core features of our Vortec 6.0L are its
cast-iron cylinder block, long-skirt design and cross-bolted
main bearing caps—three reasons why Silverado HD isn’t
just tough, it’s strong.
The power of our 6.0L V8 builds at a low rpm, where it
counts the most in a truck—peak horsepower is reached by
only 5400 rpm, while peak torque occurs at only 4200 rpm.
Got a stump to pull or a trailer to tow? The torque curve of
the 6.0L is broad and flat, with approximately 90 percent
of peak torque available at only 2000 rpm. Paired in the
new Silverado HD, the Vortec 6.0L and 6-speed automatic
transmission combine to deliver a maximum towing capacity
of up to 14,800 pounds.
1
Bi-fuel versions of the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD
seamlessly switch between gasoline and Compressed
Natural Gas (CNG). Combining the cleaner-burning CNG
with gasoline gives the Silverado 2500HD a range of more
than 650 miles.
2
And since this is a Silverado, you know
it’s got the power and performance to get the job done.
The entire gaseous fuel system meets Chevrolet’s strict
quality, durability and safety testing and is covered under
the extensive powertrain warranty.

The bi-fuel Silverado
HD is now available in Regular Cab, 4-door Double Cab and
Crew Cab 2500HD and 3500HD SRW configurations as well as
standard and long box, with either two- or four-wheel drive.

HEAVY DUTY WITHOUT THE HEAVY WEIGHT.
Information Provided by:
Weight robs a truck of its power and efficiency. In Silverado
HD, the strategic use of high-strength steel, aluminum and
other premium materials enabled engineers to create a
Silverado that is stronger and more capable than previous
model years.
A / FULLY BOXED FRAME The HD frame uses high-strength
steel for the fully boxed frame rails. Nine cross-members
provide lateral support. The front frame segments are
hydroformed, a process that minimizes weight without
sacrificing strength. Mounted to the rear frame are 3"-wide
7180 lbs
suspension helps create Front Gross Axle Weight Ratings of
up to 6000 lbs.
B / HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL Its frame is highly refined,
precisely tuned to help squelch vibration for a smoother ride
and confident handling. And to help create a quiet cab,
about two-thirds of the HD’s cab structure is made from
high-strength steel, including the pillars, roof rails and
rocker panels.

C / ROLLED, NOT STAMPED Even the HD pickup bed benefits
from tougher steels. HD features a roll-formed steel pickup
box, which is lighter, stronger and more durable than
traditional stamped-steel boxes used by major competitors.
PROOF IS IN THE POUNDING To help validate the design and
materials for the new Silverado HD, the trucks underwent
more than 6 million miles of durability testing on proving
grounds and tough test roads. What about the real world?
Final on-road testing in excess of 7 million miles brought
total test miles to more than 13 million.
