2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LT

This is Chevrolet's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton Silverado isn't enough for the job. The 2500HD rides like a proper work truck, with a firm, planted feel that soaks up big bumps without drama. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and built to last, with hard-wearing materials and controls that are easy to use with work gloves on. You get a choice of regular, extended, or crew cab, and the bed is sized for serious hauling, with a payload that means business. The LT adds power windows, locks, and cruise control over the Work Truck, plus a nicer cloth interior and available convenience features. Its 6.6L V8 makes 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that gives you confident traction when the bed is loaded or the road gets rough. The LT's standard trailering package includes a hitch and wiring, so hooking up a gooseneck or fifth-wheel is straightforward.
