Powertrains
Two Engines. One Transmission. Serious Capability.

Every 2026 Silverado 2500 HD uses the proven Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, engineered specifically for the demands of heavy-duty towing — smooth torque delivery, downhill braking control, and thermal management under sustained load. The question is which engine matches how you actually use the truck.

Towing and Capability
Built for the Biggest Jobs on Ohio Job Sites

Whether you are hauling equipment to a job site in Gahanna, towing a horse trailer on I-71, or pulling a fifth-wheel camper from Columbus to Lake Erie, the Silverado 2500 HD is built for the kind of sustained heavy-duty work that a 1500 simply was not designed for. The Advanced Trailering System gives you real-time data on tongue weight, trailer tire pressure, and trailer brakes directly from the touchscreen — no guessing, no pulling over.

Technology
Smart Enough to Manage Every Load

The Silverado 2500 HD's trailering technology is built around a real use case: you are pulling something heavy and you need to know exactly what is happening with your trailer at all times. The Advanced Trailering System monitors tongue weight, trailer tire pressure, and trailer brake status from the touchscreen. Up to 14 camera views let you see every angle of the trailer, including underbody views on equipped trims.
