SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE. ONE ROAD.

Movement is the universal language of personal freedom. Our founder Louis Chevrolet spoke it fluently.
As a Swiss immigrant, he came to America with a dream of racing cars. He wished for everyone — not just the rich
or entitled — to experience the exhilaration he felt behind the wheel.

In 1911, he began building his first car. One hundred years later, a new Chevrolet is sold every 6.6 seconds.
That amounts to 4.76 million vehicles in more than 140 countries — more than Louis Chevrolet could ever have imagined.

The depth of our heritage and passion is evident in everything we do here at Chevrolet. It’s ingrained in the bold design,
spirited performance, proven durability and exceptional value our drivers enjoy. It empowers us to be leaders in innovation.
And it inspires us to continuously raise the bar — today, tomorrow and into what promises to be a bright future.

Currently, we are pioneering new propulsion technologies to meet the demanding energy and environmental needs of
a global automotive brand. We’re also employing alternative energy sources and investing in fuel-saving technologies to help reduce
our carbon footprint with the goal of reducing 8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the next few years.

Our global reach is expanding, yet our mission remains the same. We want every customer to feel like family —
no matter where you are in the world. And no matter where you’re going, we want you to enjoy the ride in a Chevrolet.

From the vision of one to the journey of many, Chevy Runs Deep.

OF DURAMAX MUSCLE

Whether you’re pulling a loaded trailer through the mountains or blasting snow from an
unpaved road, torque is the force that gets you — and whatever you need to move — rolling
from a dead stop. Here’s where our dynamic duo, the available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel
V8 engine and 6-speed Allison automatic transmission, earns its legendary status with
397 horsepower and 765 lb.-ft. of torque. The other powerful choice: a standard

Silverado HD earns a best-in-class maximum payload rating of 7,222 lbs.

You won’t find a
fully boxed frame on a Ford F-250 or F-350. But strength also comes from flexibility, and
Silverado HD has a suspension that is specifically tuned to handle heavy loads and rough
roads, while at the same time delivering a surprisingly smooth ride.

The front suspension features huge precision-machined, forged upper control arms and
torsion bars, along with the largest steering gear we’ve ever used on a heavy-duty truck.
That’s why Silverado HD has a front gross axle weight rating of up to 6,000 lbs.

need big and strong, this is it.

THE BEST COVERAGE OF ANY FULL-SIZE PICKUP

To guarantee the quality, Silverado HD is backed by a 100,000-mile/5-year3 Powertrain Limited Warranty, along
with Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation programs.

The complete vehicle is covered (including towing to your nearest Chevrolet dealership) for 36,000 miles/3 years.
Repairs will be made to cover any vehicle defect, and most warranty repairs will be made at no charge. In addition,
rust-through corrosion will be covered for 100,000 miles/6 years.

1 Requires Regular Cab model and gas engine. Maximum payload capacity includes weight of driver, passengers, optional equipment and cargo.

DIESEL EXHAUST
BRAKE SYSTEM

Diesel exhaust braking helps slow heavy
loads you’re towing downhill. The system
evaluates load and grade, and uses the
turbo to create the necessary back
pressure to slow your rig and help reduce
brake use. Included with the available
Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine and
Allison transmission.

1 Requires fifth-wheel hitch and available diesel engine. Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment,

passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your Chevy dealer for additional details.

AUTO GRADE BRAKING

Auto grade braking is one more way
Silverado HD makes trailering easier. This
standard HD technology works with the
cruise control to maintain vehicle speed
on long, steep descents.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
REAR DIFFERENTIAL

This GM segment-exclusive feature
directs power to the wheel that has
the most traction on loose gravel
or slippery road surfaces.

2 Single rear wheel models only.

REAR VISION CAMERA

For easier trailer hookups, opt for the
rear vision camera. The display is either
integrated into the rearview mirror or
the available navigation system.

TOW/HAUL MODE

Information Provided by:

Standard Tow/Haul mode adjusts the shift schedule on the
automatic transmission so it isn’t “hunting” for the correct
gear while towing or hauling.

STABILITRAK WITH TRAILER SWAY CONTROL

The StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System works in conjunction with Trailer Sway Control1 to help you keep your vehicle —
and your trailer — on the path being steered by sensing a loss of lateral traction and responding by adjusting the engine output and
brakes accordingly. And when you’re trailering on hilly terrain, Hill Start Assist
brake is released, giving you time to accelerate before the truck can roll backward.
