New 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD for Sale in Sudbury, ON

There might not be as many powertrain options for the 2500HD as there are for light-duty pickups such as the sensational Silverado 1500, but with a couple of engines like these, there’s no need to look for anything else. Offering a standard gas engine and an optional turbodiesel might be a heavy-duty staple, but it’s a tried and tested blueprint that just works.The standard engine under the hood of the Silverado 2500HD at the moment is a 6.6-litre V-8 producing 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque, which is then sent to the rear or all four wheels through either a six-speed, heavy-duty, electronically controlled automatic transmission or an Allison ten-speed automatic. If the greatest towing capability and incredible levels of durability are what you require you’ll be well served by the 6.6-liter Duramax V-8 turbodiesel which then gives you 445 horsepower and an awesome 910 lb.-ft. of torque to work with.

Rear-wheel-drive is the standard format for all Silverado 2500HD variants, apart from the top-of-the-range High Country which is standard four-wheel-drive, but all the other models can be upgraded to four-wheel-drive if you wish. It doesn’t matter if you’re heading to Lake Laurentian for a weekend of fishing or hauling a load of materials from the building supplies store on Brady Street to the site you’re working on, there’s a Silverado 2500HD that’s right for the job.

You might not expect too much standard kit in a model billed as the “Work Truck” of the lineup, but if you expect the Silverado 2500HD WT to be a basic workhorse devoid of frills you might be in for a pleasant surprise. As well as being a fabulously capable truck with that superb 6.6-litre gas V-8 engine, the WT also comes with a rear vision camera, single-zone climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible.

LT models are the next ones in the range and these add the likes of 17-inch alloy wheels, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, cruise control, power windows and door locks and remote keyless entry. The LT also pays a little more attention to the aesthetics with chrome front and rear bumpers and colour coded trim instead of the WT’s black trim. However, a big selling point for the LT over the WT is the option of being able to choose from appearance packages such as the Z71 Sport Edition package that really do take the 2500HD’s looks to another level entirely.

If you want a really special truck that wants for next to nothing, the 2500HD High Country does a more than passable impersonation of a luxury sedan or SUV with its 20-inch alloy wheels, premium Bose sound system, heated and cooled front seats, running boards, power up and down tailgate, bed liner, 10-way power front seats and plenty more besides. You can go even further if you want with further options that go as upscale as a heads-up display.
