Power, payload and towing capability are what Silverado is famous for and all these attributes will be reflected in the five-model 4x4 Crew Cab line-up to be offered:
On the inside, the Silverado 2500HD LTZ is anything but truck-like. Heated and ventilated Jet Black perforated leather-appointed bucket seats offer personalized comfort for the driver and front passenger and feature 10-way power driver and front passenger seat adjustment, 2-way power lumbar control and 2-position driver memory. Dual zone automatic climate control enhances cabin comfort, while power-adjustable pedals allow the driver to set at the most comfortable position.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and a steering column with rake and reach adjustment, add to driver comfort and convenience as does the Chevrolet MyLink audio system which includes an 8" diagonal high-definition, full-colour touch-screen that allows you to easily navigate radio content and operate its many features including:
A Driver Information Centre delivers added convenience with front and side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, and head curtain and seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the front and rear outboard seating positions, offering added confidence.
These heavy-duty trucks perform as aggressively as they look. All five vehicles in this legendary range, share the same, uncompromising, powertrain. The Duramax 6.6L Turbo Diesel V8 engine pumps out a maximum 332kW of power and 1,234Nm of torque and is mated to an Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission. With 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and an automatic locking rear differential, the Chevrolet Silverado range redefines rugged.
When you've got a big load to tow, the Chevrolet 2500HD Silverado range makes life easy, offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 5.89* tonnes and technologies designed to help you haul with confidence.
*Using a pintle tow hitch
Go ahead, pile it on! The Silverado 2500HD range makes light work of even the heaviest of loads, with a maximum payload of 975kg*.
*Maximum payload capacity based on kerb weight excluding accessories and occupants. Front and rear axle loads must not be exceed.
Taking street presence to an all-new level, the Midnight Edition performs as aggressively as it looks.
Based off the 2500HD LTZ, and offered exclusively in Black (what else!), the Midnight Edition product story extends to:
When a little less aggression, and a touch more sophistication is preferred, the Custom Sport helps you make a stylish statement.
Like the Midnight Edition, the Custom Sport is based off the 2500HD LTZ model but offered exclusively in Summit White, with the following additional features:
Stretch shock cords radiate from a stainless-steel centre ring to focus the net's strength at the centre of the load. The net helps keep items from shifting while in transit.
Organise and secure your cargo with the Chevrolet Accessories Swing-Out Tool Box. Specifically designed for your vehicle, this lockable storage box is made of weather-resistant material, is easily removable, can store up to 35kgs and is available in either left-side or right-side swing.
This sturdy retractable rear bed step provides easy access to the truck bed. The step is made to withstand the elements and it's textured step surface helps provide increased traction and accessibility even in muddy weather.
