2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LTZ

This is Chevy's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton isn't enough for towing or hauling. It rides like a proper work truck, with a firm, trucky feel that's honest about its job. The cabin is straightforward and built to last, with hard plastics that shrug off work-site wear. You get a real truck bed and serious payload capacity, so it's ready for a loaded trailer or a bed full of gear. Stepping up to the LTZ from the LT adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a premium Bose audio system, plus chrome exterior trim that dresses up the work truck look. The 6.6L V8 makes 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with the six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving you confident pulling power from a stop and steady composure at highway speeds. The LTZ adds an auto-locking rear differential as standard, which helps you find traction on loose gravel or muddy job sites without having to climb out and lock the hubs.
