2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 / 3500 HD

Our first drive in Phoenix, Arizona took place in the mountains above. Silverado fluent brother, the GMC Sierra 2015 HD, was along for the ride. But the General's advertising and GMC added cicili not be fooled by the tinsel. Two trucks with mechanicals, diesel workhorses under which the previous models this is our last comparison test victory as Chevy, are largely unchanged monsters. (With a complete breakdown of what actually changed Silverado 2015 HD for the first story, head here.)

A Gentle Giant

new Chevy block has the chiseled profile of a classic pickup truck with a grill and iconic 1980s GM C / K pickups reminiscent sheetmetal. But we took a four-door, four-wheel-drive models of old school stuff, but on-road behavior. independent torsion bar front suspension is still in special segments and when paired with a relatively quick and accurate steering, and feel a confidence-inspiring steering borrow depends. It is important when you pick up £ 19,600 with a traditional hitch.


Most impressive, though, is now almost as plush ride quality and control are as light in 1500. We were anxious to experience on the cratered roads Silverado HD Michigan, but floated over any long wheelbase Arizona asphalt without tilting towers and hopping normally associated with heavy load pickups.

Power and Polish

There are existing cab and chassis combinations numerous as well as standard 360-hp, 6.0-liter gas V-8, but limited our seats while the volume models: 6.6-liter Duramax V and 2500-series 4x4 -8 diesel and excellent Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission. This 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque with a $ 8585 setup there. GM's carefully controlled exercise with similar competition certainly was invented in favor Silverado truck. But denial is not more powerful than the Ford and Chevy Ram pickups measure, five-ton trailer uphill acceleration and integrated exhaust stronger and had more effective control of the descent speed gearbox brake there.


Large truck updated cabin is equally strong and resolves the main shortcomings of the previous model. Rather than the attractive, comfortable and functional light-duty Silverado say that most have the same interior. Less than a jump to get in and once seated position feels lower and surrounds. Metropolitan Silverado Duramax sound insulation and road noise, but with far murmurs, is eerily quiet road on a truck. Chevy's pretty basic trappings fancier look next to the Sierra, but the Silverado-cooled and heated leather seats and luxury similar, including lane-departure warning, can be installed.

The new Silverado HD in numerous configurations of the very small increase in the level of accounting equipment with a greater proportion of 2014 analogs have similar prices. Maxed-out, gas V-8 with moderate four-door, four-wheel drive for $ 65,000 topping diesel 3500 2500 Expect to pay about $ 50,000. Once you get a closer look at the various models on familiar turf Watch this space as our tool hook, but our first experience makes the 2015 Silverado HD heavy-duty truck business shows that redefines how.
