2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Performance

The standard 6.6-litre V8 engine produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is mated to a superb 10-speed automatic transmission.

Those looking for even more power can choose the optional 6.6-litre Duramax diesel, which increases output to 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque.

The two engine options for this Chevy are impressive. The V8 has enough torque for most towing and hauling jobs, and it feels reasonably quick from a standstill.

The optional Duramax engine provides a significant power boost, allowing the truck to accelerate off the line like a much smaller vehicle.

In terms of handling, the 2024 Silverado 2500 has a smooth ride compared to some other heavy-duty trucks. The steering is light and somewhat numb, and the turning radius is wide.
