2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Review: Nigh-indomitable Power

What the Hulk is to the Avengers, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is to the Silverado line. It's the apogee of the heavy-duty pickup truck range, purposed to take on the onerous missions none of the other heroes can accomplish. A 6.6-liter V8 engine is the beating heart of the mighty beast, sending 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque coursing through its veins. But, if you really want the Silverado 3500HD pickup truck to Hulk out, there's a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 engine that empowers it with 445 hp and an earth-shattering 910 lb-ft. With that powerplant and its reinforced chassis, axles, and joints, the Silverado is capable of towing up to a maximum of 36,000 pounds - a figure that few can approach or hope to beat. The 2021 Silverado 3500HD has several nemeses vying for the admiration of US shoppers: the Ram 3500 and the Ford F-350 Super Duty, each with their own superpowers and crippling weaknesses, but the Silverado 3500HD remains a solid choice.
