See theР’В Chevrolet Silverado 2500 models for sale near you Why You Want It The 2001 Silverado HD pickup was named Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

Chevrolet introduced a new-generation Silverado 2500 HD in the spring of 2007 but continued to offer the previous (2006) version as the Silverado Classic Heavy Duty pickup during the first half of 2007. The 2001-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD also looked tougher than the 1500, with a taller grille, domed hood and bulging wheel flares. Together, these components enabled payloads ranging from around 3,000 pounds to 4,000 pounds, and tow ratings from 10,600 pounds and up. Beginning with a stiffer frame and wider stance, the Silverado 2500 HD added tough chassis components, such as Hydroboost recirculating-ball power steering, torsion-bar front suspension, massive 4-wheel discs with ABS, tough 8-lug wheels, an all-V8 engine lineup to choose from and a commercially proven optional Allison 5-speed automatic transmission. The idea was to create a line of heavy-duty 3/4-ton pickups with greater payload and trailer towing capabilities, without too many frills. The 2001-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD pickup is GMРІР‚в„ўs answer to the big success of FordРІР‚в„ўs Super Duty F-250 pickup introduced in 1998.
