The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD provides plenty of power and suspension strength to tow heavy loads without thinking about it. In fact, the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is the strongest of its kind ever produced. The 6.6-liter gasoline engine can tow up to 17,370 pounds, and the Duramax® diesel engine can tow more than twice that amount.

The Latest Technology To Make Towing Easy

You can equip the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with a total of eight external cameras that can deliver up to 15 different angles. You can view your surroundings as you trailer and have full awareness of everything that’s around you. The camera system makes backing up a breeze because there are no more blind spots to worry about. Chevrolet has mounted a bed view camera in the stop-lamp found in the rear of the cab, and you can check on the trailer at any time as you drive. Some of the camera views include:

• Hitch View
• Surround-view
• Rear top-down view
• Front camera view
• Pic-in-pic side view
• Rear trailer view
• Inside trailer view
• Bed view
• Rear side view (turn signal activated)

The standard trailering package comes with a 2.5-inch trailer hitch receiver and a seven-pin wiring connector with hitch guidance. Vertical trailering mirrors come standard on all trim levels for maximum viewing area and angles. Other standard features include StabiliTrak® with electronic trailer sway control, hill-start assist, auto-grade braking, and tow/haul mode. An integrated trailer brake controller also comes standard.

An advanced trailering system works with an app and lets you make and save customized trailer profiles, which you can select for each trailer you tow. It also includes a trailer light test, a pre-departure checklist, and trailer tire pressure monitoring.

Other available features include an electric parking brake hookup assist, trailer theft alert, and brake gain memory. The bed height allows clearance for fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers to minimize the risk of collision during a turn. A trailering information label is located on the driver’s side door jamb to provide at-a-glance towing information and capabilities for the truck.

Accessories in the Truck Bed Turn It Into a Workbench

The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado features a bed that’s designed with more than enough cargo space and details to turn it into a workbench for those times you need plug-in power. The bed itself has 12 fixed tie-downs and features 83.5 cubic square feet of space on the long box, 69.5 cubic feet on the standard box, and 63 cubic feet on the short box.

The tailgate has an internal fold-down section that works as a desk space or level place to put just about anything you need to set down for a moment. LED lighting runs along the sides of the bed to flood it with light, and a 120-volt outlet lets you plug in anything from a laptop to a power tool.

The bumper features a cut-out that acts as a step into the bed. No more trying to reach the bumper and step over the tailgate with the fold-down center and cut-out bumper.
