Accepted Answer

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD can tow up to 18,500 lb (approximately 8,391 kg) in conventional towing configuration with the 6.6L Vortec V8 gasoline engine producing 401 hp. With the 6.6L Duramax L5P turbodiesel producing 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque, conventional towing capacity reaches 18,500 lb, and fifth-wheel towing capacity climbs to 18,510 lb. Maximum payload in the bed is approximately 3,979 lb (1,805 kg) depending on configuration. These ratings make the Silverado 2500 HD one of the most versatile heavy-duty trucks for contractors and camp owners across Canada.

Question 2

Which engine should I choose — gasoline V8 or Duramax diesel — for the 2025 Silverado 2500 HD in Canada?

Accepted Answer

For mixed daily use with occasional towing under 6,000 kg, the 6.6L Vortec V8 gas engine (401 hp, 417 lb-ft) is sufficient and represents a lower initial cost — approximately $10,000 CAD less than the diesel option. The 6.6L Duramax L5P turbodiesel (470 hp, 975 lb-ft) is ideal for regular heavy towing (fifth-wheel RVs, agricultural or construction equipment) as its massive torque reduces engine strain. The diesel delivers better fuel economy per km under load, but diesel fuel in Canada typically costs 15 to 25 percent more than regular gasoline. On a high-mileage professional basis, the diesel investment typically pays off for users towing regularly.
