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 14,800 pounds.

There’s also a bi-fuel version of the Silverado 2500HD that
seamlessly switches 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.

The bi-fuel Silverado
2500HD is now available in Double Cab and Crew Cab
configurations as well as standard and long box, with either
two- or four-wheel drive.
