2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

Estimated Price: $45,600* (Regular Cab RWD Gas, excl. $2,195 dest.) / ~$47,795* (incl. dest.)*

Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is a heavy-duty workhorse built for buyers who need serious capability that goes well beyond what a light-duty pickup can offer, available across six trim levels — WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country — in Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab configurations with standard or long bed options. Two proven powertrains anchor the lineup: the 6.6L V8 gas engine (401 hp, 464 lb-ft) for everyday work duty, or the legendary available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 (470 hp, 975 lb-ft) for maximum pulling power — both paired with a 10-speed automatic and available 4WD, delivering up to 36,000 lbs of towing capacity when properly equipped. Every 2026 Silverado 2500HD comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist including forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and IntelliBeam high-beam assist, while the LT and above add a 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and an available integrated trailering camera system with multiple trailer-view angles. The off-road ZR2 tops the capability ladder with Multimatic DSSV dampers, a lifted suspension, skid plates, and an available AEV Bison package for extreme off-road builds, while the flagship High Country delivers premium perforated leather seating, open-pore wood trim, a 15-inch head-up display, and available power takeoff unit for diesel-equipped trucks — making the Silverado 2500HD as capable on the worksite as it is refined on the road.
