TORQUE IT. The new Silverado HD has the muscle to get it done. The available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine has more horsepower and
torque than Ford or Dodge, which helps Silverado HD deliver up to 10 tons of towing.1 Harnessing the Duramax torque and trailering capacity is the legendary, beefed-up Allison® six-speed — a transmission that has been earning its HD credentials for nearly a decade.

TAKE IT. You’ve just struck payload pay dirt. The high-strength, fully boxed steel frame has torsional stiffness that’s five times greater which helps Silverado HD haul up to 21% more payload than before while also improving ride quality. A new front suspension with massive control arms and torsion bars means every 4×4 Silverado HD can accommodate a snow plow when equipped with the available Snow Plow Prep Package.

TOW IT. Get big loads moving. And keep them under control. The new exhaust brake system (diesel3) works with the transmission, reducing the amount of conventional braking needed while towing or traveling downhill. Working with StabiliTrak,4 new Trailer Sway Control4 senses trailer sway and automatically applies the truck’s brakes and reduces engine power, if necessary, to help you get back on track.
