New 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

Boasting two extremely powerful engines, impressive towing/hauling capacities and a refreshed interior with plenty of space to spare, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is capable in every way.

Two porterhouse-steak-sized engine options await the serious pickup buyer: a 360-horsepower, 6.0-liter V-8, and a 365-horsepower, 6.6-liter V-8 – the latter producing a whopping 660 pound-feet of torque, enough to haul a herd of elephants. The diesel engine produces more torque than any engine offering for the Ford F-250 or Dodge Ram 2500, which means you will have an easier time hauling the same hefty loads as those other trucks. The Silverado’s V-8’s are mated to either GM’s six-speed automatic, or a heavy-duty Allison six-speed automatic where power is delivered to either a two- or four-wheel drive system. These powertrains are good for up to 13,000 pounds of towing, and 3,924 pounds of hauling.

Four models, three cab configurations and two bed lengths allow you to order the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD just the way you need it. On a basic, two-wheel drive, two-door Work Truck, you get options of a locking rear differential, remote power door locks, cruise control and air conditioning.  Standard features include vinyl seats, XM Satellite Radio and a single-CD player. A high-end four-wheel drive LTZ model includes automatic locking hubs, leather seats, remote power door locks, cruise control, dual zone climate control, heated and powered front seats, an upgraded Bose stereo with seven speakers and a subwoofer, plus options of a power glass sunroof, adjustable pedals, a rearview camera, a TV and a DVD-based navigation system.

Safety is inherent feature when you are riding in a full-size pickup truck, as the only real threats to your safety are other full-size pickups (and big rigs). The sturdy body-on-frame structure of the Silverado 2500 HD combines with dual front airbags to protect occupants in unavoidable collisions, while standard antilock brakes paired with traction and stability control systems increase the number of avoidable accidents.

When it comes to beefy, full-size pickup trucks, Chevrolet is the breeder of some of the toughest bulls ever to enter the ring and the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is ready to charge.
