2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LTZ

The 2021 Silverado 2500HD is Chevrolet's heavy-duty pickup, built to tow and haul far more than the half-ton Silverado 1500. It competes head-to-head with the Ford Super Duty and Ram Heavy Duty, all vying for the same work-truck buyers. The steering is surprisingly direct for a truck this size, and the brakes feel strong even when the bed is loaded. Expect a firm, truck-like ride when empty; that stiffness is the trade-off for the heavy-duty suspension's load capability. The cabin is roomy and functional, with available leather and a large touchscreen in higher trims, plus a spacious crew cab. The LTZ gives up the High Country's premium leather and upgraded audio, but you still get heated seats, trailering mirrors, and keyless entry for thousands less. Its gasoline 6.6L I8 makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that handle heavy loads without breaking a sweat. The Advanced Trailering System with Hitch Guidance is standard here, making hooking up a trailer easier than you'd expect from a truck this big.
