Is the Silverado 2500 HD Bigger than the Silverado 1500?

The new Chevy Silverado 2500 HD is a heavy-duty truck that's built for taking on big jobs. As such, it's slightly bigger in terms of bed length and frame than the 2024 Silverado 1500 -- though both trucks offer spacious cabins that both drivers and passengers can relax in comfortably.

Which Silverado Is Best for Towing?

The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 truck can tow up to 13,300 pounds, making it a great option if you need a pickup to haul your boat or trailer for a weekend excursion. Because the new Silverado 2500 towing capacity can reach up to 22,500 pounds, this heavy-duty truck is a better option for towing big loads out at the jobsite. Need even more towing power?

Yes! Both the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and Silverado 2500 trucks offer an available diesel powertrain. While both are Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engines, the Silverado 2500 diesel option is larger and can output greater horsepower and torque
