Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Towing Capacity & Features

The 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 towing capacity can reach up to 17,370 pounds or 18,500 pounds, depending on which engine and configuration you select. Although the standard 6.6L V8 gas engine is certainly a workhorse in its own right, the optional 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 will be preferred by drivers who want to maximize their cargo transport capabilities. Take a closer look at the features that make the Silverado 2500 HD so capable, and then get hands-on with both engines at our dealership.
