Full-size, light-duty pickups are good solutions for most people’s needs. But if you need a truck that takes capability to the next level, you’ll want to step up to the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This heavy-duty pickup can take on the more demanding jobs like towing and hauling heavier loads or powering through backroad trails. All this power doesn’t come at the expense of comfort. When you buy the Silverado 2500HD at a dealership like the Gooding Chevy dealer, it can be outfitted to provide the driver and passengers with amenities that approach premium level, especially in the range-topping High Country trim level.
The 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500HD can be configured to meet every need, with two engine choices, including a turbodiesel with the power to tow up to 18,510 pounds. This pickup features advanced trailering technology that makes it easier to hook up whatever you need to tow. According to the Gooding Chevrolet dealer, there are three cab configurations on offer: regular cab, double cab and crew cab. The Silverado 2500HD is available in five trim levels: WT, Custom, LT, LTZ and High Country (crew cab only).
Powering the 2022 Silverado 2500HD is a standard 6.6-liter V8 engine that develops 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of twist, teamed to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Buyers can select the available 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8. It’s good for 445 hp and 910 lb-ft and is linked to an Allison 10-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is available.

The reviewers at The Car Connection writes: “Sold in regular, extended cab, and crew cab body styles, the range of Silverado HDs are tailored specifically for heavy hauling. Loading up their beds is easy, all things considered, thanks to a fairly low lift-in height and big steps integrated into the bumpers and ahead of the rear wheels. An optional power tailgate is a pleasant convenience, too, and the 6-way Multi-Flex tailgate opens up more versatility to what can be stored in or off of the bed.”
The Silverado 2500HD’s independent front suspension ensures that drivers and passengers enjoy a smooth ride. Road noise stays outside the cabin, even when the truck travels at highway speeds.
The Silverado 2500HD WT is a basic workhorse, but it still gets standard equipment you might not expect to see in a base trim. Standard features include manual door locks and windows, black exterior trim, black bumpers, vinyl upholstery, single-zone automatic climate control, a locking tailgate, trailering mirrors, a 3.5-inch instrument cluster display, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, a six-speaker stereo system, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth.
Step up to the higher trim levels, and you’ll get an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a Bose premium audio system with seven speakers, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a wireless charger. Four-wheel-drive models have an optional Z71 Off-Road Package that adds an exclusive suspension, Rancho shocks, skidplates and hill-descent control.
The Silverado 2500HD has an optional camera system capable of displaying up to 15 views. It assists drivers with hitching a trailer, backing up, and maneuvering in tight spaces. Other trailering features include a Trailer Angle Indicator with Guidelines, a Trailer Length Indicator, a Jack-Knife Alert, a Bed View with Cargo Bed Zoom, and Bed Hitch Guidance.
