Chevrolet Silverado HD
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD picks up where the award-winning half-ton Silverado leaves off, adding superior hauling and carrying capability and its own rugged good looks.
The all-new exterior styling of the heavy-duty Silverado enhances air flow, which enables Silverado’s 6.6-litre Duramax turbo diesel and 6.0-litre Vortec V8 to better maintain full power, even under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures.
The 2015 Silverado HD offers three powertrains specifically tailored for tough tasks and dependable service. The standard engine on all Silverado HDs is a 6.0L Vortec gas V8 with continuously variable valve timing, matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. It is rated at 360 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque on 2500 models, and is specifically engineered for low-end torque. A version rated at 322 horsepower is standard on 3500s.
The proven Duramax 6.6L turbodiesel and Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission combination will continue to be available on both 2500 and 3500 Silverados.
Rated at 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque, the Duramax diesel features piezo-actuated fuel injectors for improved performance and efficiency, and a variable vane turbocharger that also acts as an exhaust brake on long downgrades. Properly equipped, the 2500 HD is rated to tow over 6,500 kg, with the 3500 HD capable of almost 8,900 kg.
Hauling considerations are front and centre inside, too, with integrated cruise control, Auto Grade Braking and Diesel Exhaust Braking (on diesel models) that help make tough towing easier. Stabilitrak with Trailer Sway Control is standard on all models, including 3500 duallies.
Whether you choose a regular cab, a double cab or a crew cab configuration (with one of five different wheelbase lengths, depending on whether you choose a long or short box version) you'll find all-day comfort behind the wheel in revamped interiors that are significantly quieter than last year's model. Except for the base work truck, Silverado includes MyLink connectivity — useful whether you're on the job or hauling your RV and family on vacation.
Your precious cargo is safer, too, thanks to a reinforced cab design that's 67% high strength steel.
The 2015 Silverado HD will be available with segment-exclusive safety features such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning with an Active Safety Seat, and Front and Rear Park Assist. Head-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags are standard on 2500 and available on 3500 models.
Vincentric analyzes a vehicle’s cost-of-ownership through eight different measures: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. Vincentric awards the Best Value in America Award using an analysis comparing ownership costs to a vehicle’s market price.
“With the average age of trucks on the road now more than 11 years, we know that customers hold on to their trucks for a long time,” said John Fitzpatrick, Silverado marketing manager. “With the lowest cost of ownership of any full-size truck in the segment, the Silverado makes it easiest on our customers to do so.”
Said David Wurster, president of Vincentric: "Our statistical analysis used over 1,000 pickup truck configurations to identify the best value truck line in the United States.
"We found that Chevrolet trucks cost less to own and operate than would be expected, providing great value to truck buyers. Chevrolet and the Silverado have a long history of providing high-value trucks, and the 2014 offerings continue this heritage."
Silverado is the most dependable, longest-lasting pickup on the road. It offers the best pickup coverage in America, including 2-year/24,000 mile recommended scheduled maintenance and a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world’s largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.9 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design, and high quality.
