The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty trucks are here to tackle your toughest jobs with unrivaled strength and capability. Available in both 2500HD and 3500HD models, these heavy-duty pickups provide immense towing and hauling power for your work or adventures around Wendell, NC and beyond. At Universal Chevrolet Company, we're excited to walk you through the key differences between these two impressive trucks.
Chevy Silverado 2500HD: The Versatile Workhorse
First up is the Chevy Silverado 2500HD. This robust truck is a popular choice for many drivers in Raleigh who need a reliable workhouse for construction, landscaping, farming and more. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 18,510 pounds when properly equipped, the 2500HD can confidently pull equipment trailers, livestock trailers, boats, and campers.
The Silverado 2500HD offers two compelling engine choices. The standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine cranks out 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. For those needing extra muscle, the available Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 generates a hefty 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Paired with the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, the diesel provides seamless power delivery.
Chevy Silverado 3500HD: The Ultimate Towing Machine
For the most demanding trailering needs, the Chevy Silverado 3500HD reigns supreme. Its beefed-up frame, suspension, and drivetrain components enable a jaw-dropping maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds. That's enough to tow large fifth-wheel campers, car haulers, and heavy machinery with ease around Wake Forest and the greater Triangle area.
The Silverado 3500HD comes standard with the muscular 6.6-liter V8 gas engine. But to access the truck's maximum towing potential, you'll want to opt for the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8. Mated to the Allison transmission, this powertrain delivers unrivaled stability and control, even when climbing steep grades in Garner, NC with a trailer in tow.
Configurations and Technology
Both the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD offer a variety of cab and cargo bed configurations to suit your needs in Clayton, NC and surrounding communities. Choose from a Regular Cab, Double Cab, or Crew Cab, as well as Standard, Long, or Dually bed lengths. Dually rear wheels provide added stability for the 3500HD when hauling the heaviest loads.
Inside the cab, an array of advanced technologies keeps you connected and confident. The intuitive infotainment system with a large touchscreen provides seamless access to features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available navigation. A Head-Up Display projects key information onto the windshield, while a Rear Camera Mirror enhances visibility when trailering.
