2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LTZ

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. Heated leather seats and a larger touchscreen set the LTZ apart from the LT and Work Truck trims below it. The 6.0L I8 makes 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that handles heavy loads without breaking a sweat. The LTZ's standard Z85 suspension gives a controlled ride whether you're towing or running empty.
