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.
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 14,800 pounds.

Bi-fuel versions of the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD
seamlessly switch between gasoline and Compressed
Natural Gas (CNG). Combining the cleaner-burning CNG
with gasoline gives the Silverado 2500HD a range of more
than 650 miles.

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
extensive powertrain warranty.

now available in Regular Cab, 4-door 4-door Double Cab and
