The small-block V8 has been a dependable workhorse for
millions of Chevy truck owners. That heritage continues
with the new 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, which
comes standard with the Vortec 6.0L V8. Developed for
heavy-duty applications, the core features of our Vortec
6.0L are its cast-iron cylinder block, long-skirt design
and cross-bolted main bearing caps—three reasons why
Silverado HD isn’t just tough, it’s strong.
Want a combination of power, efficiency and proven
durability? The power of our 6.0L V8 builds at a low rpm,
where it counts the most in a truck—peak horsepower is
reached by only 5400 rpm, while peak torque occurs at
only 4200 rpm. Got a stump to pull or a trailer to tow? The
torque curve of the 6.0L is broad and flat, with
approximately 90 percent of peak torque available at
only 2000 rpm.
Paired in the new Silverado HD, the Vortec 6.0L and
6-speed automatic transmission combine to deliver a
maximum towing capacity of up to 6713 kg (14,800 lb.).

There’s also a bi-fuel version of the Silverado 2500HD
that seamlessly switches between gasoline and
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). And since this is a Silverado,
you know it’s got the power and performance to get the
job done. The entire gaseous fuel system meets
Chevrolet’s strict quality, durability and safety testing
and is covered under the powertrain warranty.

The
bi-fuel Silverado 2500HD is now available in Double Cab
