If you are researching your next truck online, this guide highlights what matters most for Inland Empire jobsites, toy haulers, and daily routes along the 60 and I-10. From segment-leading maximum Crew Cab towing capability to the smartest trailering views we have seen in a heavy-duty, the Silverado 2500 HD is built to simplify tough tasks and make long miles feel easier. At Orel Hershiser Chevrolet near Ontario, we help you compare trims, verify towing needs, and match the right build to your day-to-day—so you can shop with confidence and zero guesswork.
Silverado HD is engineered to work harder and last longer, with two proven powertrains and a 10-speed automatic tuned for heavy loads. The available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 delivers 470 horsepower and a towering 975 lb-ft of torque—backed by a maximum available towing capacity up to 36,000 lbs when properly equipped. Prefer gas? The standard 6.6L V8 produces 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, with up to 19,080 lbs max available towing. And for 2500 HD buyers, you get segment-leading maximum Crew Cab towing capability of 22,070 lbs when properly equipped. Add Durabed with 83.5 cu. ft. of cargo volume—more than any competitor—and 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs per corner, and you have a work bed that acts like a mobile toolkit. Whether you are climbing grades toward the Cajon Pass or backing a trailer into a tight Ontario distribution dock, Silverado 2500 HD puts muscle, cooling, and control on your side.
Inside the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD, the cab feels more like a command center than a work truck. The available 13.4-inch touch-screen and 12.3-inch Driver Information Center put navigation, audio, trailer settings, and key vehicle data a quick glance away. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto help keep your phone stashed and your attention on the road. With available Google built-in, you can set a destination with your voice, check traffic on the 60, and even adjust in-cabin temperature hands-free. Higher trims bring premium materials, heated seating, and thoughtful storage, so even long days from Ontario to job sites across the Inland Empire feel manageable and organized.
Every 2026 Silverado HD includes standard advanced safety and driver assist features for added confidence. Available technologies like Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and HD Surround Vision bring more awareness to every hitch-up, lane change, and parking situation. If you regularly navigate busy yards around Ontario or reverse into narrow driveways in Chino Hills, the available multi-view camera system—with up to 14 views when properly equipped—can be a game-changer for safety and situational awareness.
