2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD First Look Review: Heavyweight Hauler

If there's one segment of the market that appears blithely unaware of anything to do with EVs, hybrids, tax credits, or lithium shortages, it's heavy-duty trucks. These hardworking pickups must be able to tow or carry almost anything, and for that, there's no better alternative than good ol' gasoline or diesel. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD is no different, and it now makes up to 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque in diesel form. But a new Ford F-250 is coming, so Chevy couldn't stop there.

That's why the updated Silverado 2500 also comes with a much-improved interior and an off-road-focused ZR2 trim, plus a standard 10-speed automatic replaces the aging six-speeder used before. The Silverado is now a more complete truck than ever before.

When Is The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Coming Out?

The release date for the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is set for the second half of 2023 when production begins in Michigan and Canada. It will be coming out at around the same time as the new Ford F-250 Super Duty.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Price And Competition

No price for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD has been communicated yet, but this information will be shared closer to the truck's arrival in the USA next year. For reference, the 2023 model starts at $40,500 but it will cost double that amount for the most expensive derivative. The new one is likely to be slightly more expensive still.

The Chevy's primary rivals will come as no surprise, those being the Ford F-250 and the Ram 2500. Each truck has its strengths. The Ram has been the most comfortable pickup to drive for some time, while Ford is a master at offering a configuration for virtually every application. The 2022 Ram 2500 starts at $43,920 MSRP and the 2022 Ford F-250 begins at $39,445 - pricing for the updated Ford is unknown at this stage.
