Chevrolet was founded in 1911. Since then, it has released scores of original automobiles, with the first-ever Chevy coming out in 1912. Some of its popular cars include the Impala, Corvette, and Camaro. But when it comes to pickup trucks, their most popular model is the Silverado. Read on to learn more about the new generation of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and decide whether on not you should consider bringing it home.

Overview
The 2022 new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is a heavy-duty pickup truck with incredible power. It is the perfect tool for those who need to do a lot of heavy lifting. The vehicle has excellent towing capabilities, a massive trailer to accommodate all your stuff, and a powerful diesel powertrain. Many advanced driver-assist technologies and cameras make handling this Silverado easier. Further, there is a lot of positive to be said about the styling of this pickup truck.

New features
In terms of features, very little has changed in the new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD compared to the previous generation. The alterations are mainly in the colors of the truck. The automaker is now offering a new metallic paint color known as Greenstone, which gives the vehicle a unique look. Another upgrade is in the tailgate system. The truck now boasts a six-function tailgate called the Multi-Flex as an optional feature. This feature was only found on the GMC Sierra but is now available for all models of the Silverado HD. In addition, customers who can splurge can opt for a power-adjustable seat with the Custom trim.

Engine and performance
The new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD comes with a standard gas-powered 6.6-liter V-8 engine, which gives a whopping 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. It is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission box. If you opt for higher trims, you could get better and more powerful engines. Or, you could upgrade to the Duramax® engine. It is a diesel-powered 6.6-liter V-8 engine that comes from the previous models of the truck. It is much more efficient and gives up to 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. The Duramax® engine pairs up with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

The 2500 HD comes in rear-wheel or all-wheel drives, depending on the trim level. Both arrangements are compatible with the single or dual-rear-wheel axle. Thanks to a powerful engine and multi-wheel drives, the truck has impressive towing capabilities and can easily move massive loads. The gas-powered version of the heavy-duty truck can tow around 17,000 pounds, whereas the diesel version can pull around 36,000 pounds of load. However, it has a few downsides too. Some claim that the new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD has a lower steering accuracy. And it does not get better even when connected to an electric driving assist system.

Interiors and storage
The new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD has top-notch technology and spacious, elegant interiors. The large dashboard is filled with lots of switchgear. A longer wheelbase allows for more passenger space and luxurious cabin features. You get heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a head-up display. There is also a lot of space for storage in the center console. In some models, you can get extra storage compartments under the rear seats and bins built into the seat cushions.

Infotainment and connectivity
The new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD also has much to offer in the infotainment and connectivity department. You get a standard touchscreen that supports the Chevy Infotainment 3 Software and can be connected via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are volume control knobs as well as options for voice command. Further, the touchscreen is supplemented with a Bose speaker system and power points.
