What engines does the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD offer and which is best suited for heavy work in Canada?
The 2022 Silverado 2500 HD is available with two powertrains in Canada: the 6.6L Vortec gasoline V8 producing 401 hp (464 lb-ft) paired with a 6-speed automatic, and the 6.6L Duramax L5P diesel V8 producing 445 hp (910 lb-ft) paired with the Allison 10-speed automatic — available as an option for approximately $11,495 CAD. For Canadians using their work truck intensively — towing farm equipment on the Prairies, hauling construction materials in Ontario, or towing large fifth-wheel trailers — the Duramax diesel is the reference choice. Its 910 lb-ft of torque from 1,600 RPM allows loaded climbs with ease. The gasoline engine suits those with mixed use who want to avoid the higher costs of diesel fuel and DEF fluid.
