2020 Silverado 2500 HD Vs. Silverado 3500 HD: Difference and Similarities

Many factors go into buying a heavy truck. Of course, performance and towing capacity are considered almost instantly in this conversation, mainly since Chevrolet is focused on improving its 2020 Silverado trucks' performance. But safety features and modern technology are just as crucial for day to day work.

Chevrolet has released a pair of newly designed rugged pickup trucks in the 2020 Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD. That's why the best Chevrolet dealer of Houston that is Westside Chevrolet took the time to compare the 2020 Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD to help you understand the key differences between these two powerful engines.

Performance and Engine

One of the main reasons you would choose the Chevrolet 3500 HD over the 2500 HD is the amount they can tow and the payload the truck can carry. The most significant difference between the two trucks is the suspension setup. A lighter suspension on the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD pickup truck will make the ride smoother. Meanwhile, the 3500 HD's more massive suspension will be a little stiffer, but it will be able to haul larger loads to and from the job site.

Both trucks at Chevrolet dealership in Houston are equipped with a 6.6-liter V-8 engine available for gas and DuraMax turbo diesel with a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission. This combination can tow 2500 HD up to18,500 lbs. on turbo diesel and carry payloads up to 3,800 lbs. On the other hand, the Silverado 3500 HD can handle loads of up to 6,800 pounds. If you have regular 3500 HD 2WD tech dual rear wheels, the available Duramax diesel engine, and a gooseneck barrier, you can carry luggage up to 31,400 pounds.

This model weighs less than its predecessor due to composite materials' manufacture, including weight-saving measures in the frame and the panels. You have the choice between two high-performance engines, four equipment versions, four special editions, two-bed lengths, and two cabin sizes. You also have a choice between two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Whatever you prefer, you are buying a high performance and highly reliable work truck.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Specs:

6.6L V-8 engine, with choice of gas or diesel

New Allison 10-speed automatic transmission

Maximum payload of 3,800 lbs

Maximum towing of 18,500 lbs

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Specs:

6.6L V-8 engine, with choice of gas or diesel

New Allison 10-speed automatic transmission

Maximum payload of 6,800 lbs

Maximum towing of 15,400 lbs or over 31,400 pounds with additional equipment

Safety and Technology

Sure, Chevrolet had hard work in mind with the 2500 HD and 3500 HD, but that doesn't mean the available technology and safety options have been reduced. These commercial-focused trucks still offer five trim levels: Work Truck, Custom, LT, LTZ and High Country. Each version has a host of advanced features and add-ons available, and Premier includes most standard specifications.

All of these trucks come with spacious and comfortable interiors to accommodate your crew and luggage. Standard safety options, including ABS brakes, stability control, power mirrors, and a modern security system, appreciate the add-ons available for these trucks, such as rearview cameras and digital variable steering assist.

Choose the new Silverado High Country, and you'll get a 6-inch chrome tread, 20-inch Blackwall off-road tires with chrome wheels, a spray bed liner, and a premium Chevrolet infotainment system with a display. In addition to all the benefits of LTZ trim, an 8-inch color touch screen, Bose audio system, heated leather and ventilated front bucket seats, heated steering wheel, and electrically adjustable pedals are available at Chevrolet dealership in Houston, TX.

Regardless of which of these heavy-duty pickup trucks you choose, you will find excellent customer service and competitive financing when you shop at Westside Chevrolet, the best Chevrolet dealer in Texas. Feel free to contact them anytime or schedule your test drive today.

Power Pullers: 10 of the Best Trucks for Towing

Living in Los Angeles, we’re used to seeing people who own and drive pickup trucks mostly because they want to, and that’s fine. But for many, driving a truck isn’t so much a matter of “want” but of “need.” Although “want” does often play a part. When you have a boat or a camper or a toy hauler you need to pull—or even a small trailer you have to transport from time to time—owning a truck with towing capability is a must. Whether you’re shopping for a heavy-duty pickup, a versatile and popular half-ton truck, or a midsize pickup that you can drive daily and fit in your garage, here are 10 of the best trucks for towing broken down by class.

Keep in mind, the maximum tow rating of the truck you buy depends on how much your truck weighs. Your individual maximum tow rating is your truck’s Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating (GCVWR or GCWR, the maximum allowable weight of your truck and trailer combined) minus the weight of your actual truck and the weight of any passengers and cargo. If you buy a truck with a lot of weight-adding features, or if you intend to carry a lot of passengers or cargo while towing (or both), that will reduce the amount of weight you can tow.

Also be aware of your GCVWR if you’re planning to tow extremely heavy loads with your heavy-duty truck. In the United States, a GCVWR above 26,000 pounds requires a commercial license. That means if your truck and trailer combined weigh more than 26,000 pounds, you can’t legally drive it unless you have a Class A commercial driver’s license.

Best One-Ton HD Trucks for Towing

2020 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty | up to 35,100 pounds

The 2020 Ram Heavy Duty, our 2020 Truck of the Year, is an easy choice for this list of best trucks for towing, and the Ram 3500 HD dually in particular excels at towing with a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch. When equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel inline-six that makes 400 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque, the Ram 3500 with dual rear wheels can tow a trailer weighing up to 35,100 pounds. The downsides are the top-dog diesel is an $11,795 option over the base gas V-8, and to handle that lofty 1,000 lb-ft, you’re forced to get a high-torque version of the old six-speed automatic transmission instead of the new eight-speed. But even with the $2,695 cheaper 850-lb-ft Cummins or the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, the Ram 3500 is an excellent choice for towing with a fifth wheel or gooseneck thanks to available features like a high-res in-bed camera and the air suspension’s trick Alt Trailer Height ability.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra | up to 35,500 pounds

The Ram HD may be the better all-around truck, but when it comes to the best truck for towing fifth wheel or gooseneck the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD dually (and its nearly identical counterpart from GMC) has a leg up. When equipped with the 445-hp, 910-lb-ft 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V-8, the 3500HD can tow up to 35,500 pounds. The GMC also has the benefit of more gears to choose from with its Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. That helped the Sierra 3500HD out-tow the Ram during Truck of the Year testing, and also made it the more pleasant truck to tow with. Given how easily the GMC handled a gooseneck trailer loaded up to 10 tons, the Sierra 3500HD is one of the best trucks for towing mega loads.

2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty | up to 37,000 pounds

The truck industry is engaged in an all-out torque war, and the prize is “best-in-class” bragging rights. Currently, the leader in the towing arms race is Ford, with its updated F-450 Super Duty that produces 475 hp and a staggering 1,050 lb-ft of torque from a 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8. For those counting, that’s 50 lb-ft more than the Ram’s Cummins and 140 lb-ft more than GM’s Duramax. What does that much twist get you? A claimed max towing capacity of 37,000 pounds.

Best Three-Quarter-Ton HD Trucks for Towing

2020 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 2500HD | up to 18,500 (with conventional hitch)

Sometimes you don’t need a gigantic truck—you just need a pretty huge one. Still imposing and capable, a three-quarter-ton truck like the Chevy Silverado 2500HD will do the job for most. Like the larger Silverado and GMC Sierra 3500s, the 2500HD can be had with either a 401-hp, 464-lb-ft 6.6-liter gasoline V-8 or a 445-hp, 910-lb-ft 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V-8.

Although we don’t recommend the former or its six-speed automatic, when equipped with the latter, you get the slick-shifting 10-speed automatic and a towing capacity of up to 18,500 pounds on a conventional hitch. Additionally, the Silverado HD offers a transparent trailer view system, which uses two cameras (one on the tailgate and one that has to be installed on the trailer) to allow you to virtually see through whatever you’re towing. That features makes the Silverado HD one of the best trucks for towing a travel trailer or other large, sight-impeding object hanging off your hitch ball.

2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty | up to 20,200 pounds (with conventional hitch)

The F-450 might be the numbers king, but the F-250 is the workhorse of the Super Duty range. The F-250 is available in a number of bed and cab configurations, and it can he had with your choice of 6.2-liter V-8, the new 7.3-liter V-8 with 430 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque, or the same 1,050-lb-ft Power Stroke diesel found in the 350 and 450—a costly option at $10,495. But when properly equipped, the F-250 has a max conventional towing capacity of 20,000 pounds. For most, that should be plenty for towing your RV, boat, or toy hauler.

Best Half-Ton Trucks for Towing

2020 Ram 1500 | up to 12,750 pounds

Our 2019 Truck of the Year, the Ram 1500, is still the full-size pickup to beat one year later. Its superior ride quality, unmatched quietness, and long list of available niceties make it the most luxurious half-ton truck on the market, which means it should make long trips with your RV more comfortable. The Ram 1500 can be had with either the base 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 (305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque), two different 5.7-liter Hemi V-8s (both making 395 hp and 410 lb-ft), or an updated version of Ram’s 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine (260 hp and 480 lb-ft). Additionally, Ram’s eTorque mild hybrid system, standard on the base V-6 and available on the V-8, recoups and recycles energy from the wheels that would otherwise be lost. That energy is stored in a battery and is used to assist the engine under heavy loads and power the automatic engine stop/start system to save fuel.

2020 Ford F-150 | up to 13,200 pounds

Another solid choice in the full-size truck class is the venerable Ford F-150. There’s a reason it’s America’s best-selling pickup and that’s its track record for dependability and versatility. The F-150 engine lineup includes a capable base 3.3-liter V-6 (290 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque); two turbocharged EcoBoost V-6s, a 2.7-liter (325 hp and 400 lb-ft) and a 3.5-liter (375 hp and 470 lb-ft); a 5.0-liter V-8 (395 hp and 400 lb-ft); and a 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel V-6 (250 hp and 440 lb-ft). Additionally, there’s high-output version of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost (450 hp and 510 lb-ft) in the F-150 Raptor. For towing, we like the EcoBoost V-6s and naturally aspirated V-8 better than the new Power Stroke diesel option. The diesel feels stressed when towing on the highway, and it just doesn’t have the grunt needed to pass or maintain speed uphill. Ford’s handy Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist feature helps you reverse more easily when towing, simplifying back-up maneuvers with an intuitive knob that takes all the guesswork out of steering by doing it for you. That available feature along makes the Ford F-150 one of the best half-ton trucks for towing.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 | up to 12,100 pounds

Chevy’s Silverado 1500 (and its corporate cousin, the GMC Sierra 1500) hasn’t advanced as much as its competitors from Ram and Ford, but it’s still among the highest-rated half-ton trucks for towing on the market. Engine options include a base 4.3-liter V-6 (285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque), a 5.3-liter V-8 (355 hp and 383 lb-ft), a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (310 hp and 348 lb-ft), a 6.2-liter V-8 (420 hp and 460 lb-ft), and a 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six (277 hp and 460 lb-ft). All gas engines get GM’s Active Fuel Management cylinder shut-off tech, and most can be had with a stop/start system. For towing purposes, it’s hard to beat the Duramax diesel option, which we called “buttery-smooth” and effortless when we pulled a trailer with one in our First Test. But we were surprised how good the new turbo-four option is during Truck of the Year testing. The engine pulls hard at low rpms and accelerates quickly even when towing a trailer.

Best Midsize trucks for towing

2020 Ford Ranger | 7,500 pounds

With a midsize truck, you won’t be able to tow everything. But you should still have enough pulling power to tow a decent-sized trailer. The Ford Ranger, though flawed, is one such midsized that’s up to the task. The Ranger is based on an old platform that got a few tweaks when it was brought over to the U.S. for 2019. Despite those enhancements, the Ranger’s ride and handling still lags behind competitors. Where it shines, however, is in its powertrain.

Every Ford Ranger variant gets a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with a tow/haul mode, and each has the same max tow rating of 7,500 pounds. In testing, a Ford Ranger XL STX did 0–60 mph in 12.5 seconds hooked up to a 4,000-pound trailer. You may be looking at the Ranger’s max tow rating and wondering why the new Jeep Gladiator, with its higher max of 7,650 pounds, didn’t make this list of best trucks for towing. The truth is we just weren’t impressed with its towing performance during Truck of the Year testing.

2020 Chevrolet Colorado | up to 7,700 pounds

The Chevy Colorado won back-to-back Truck of the Year awards in 2015 and 2016, and it continues to be our favorite pickup in the midsize truck category. With its wide range of powertrain choices, the Colorado can be equipped for to suit most consumers’ needs. A 2.5-liter inline-four making 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque serves as the base engine. From there, buyers can upgrade to a 3.6-liter V-6 (308 hp and 275 lb-ft) or a 2.8-liter turbodiesel I-4 (186 hp and 369 lb-ft). The diesel will be the best truck for towing in the lineup, but the V-6 isn’t bad either. In a midsize truck comparison test, a Colorado V-6 towed a trailer loaded with 14 bales of hay up a narrow, winding road with ease, demonstrating impressive shift logic from its standard eight-speed automatic and a supple, refined ride along the way.

2020 GMC Sierra HD First Look: Heavy-Duty Competition

Add the Max Trailering Package to the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, and your light-duty pickup truck can tow an impressive 12,200 pounds. For most people’s needs, that’s more than enough. But some buyers need an even more capable workhorse. If you’re one of those potential customers, meet the 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty.

GMC bills the new Sierra HD as the most capable heavy-duty truck it’s ever built, and promises a world-class towing experience. Considering how heavy the competition is from Ford and Ram, those are some serious claims. But to back them up, GMC chose to launch the Sierra HD with a Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel with a new 10-speed Allison automatic transmission.

That engine is good for 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque. Maximum towing capacity hasn’t been finalized yet, but GMC claims it will be “well in excess of 30,000 pounds.” For comparison, the most powerful diesel Ram HD now makes 400 hp and 1,000 lb-ft, and it’s rated to tow up to 35,100 pounds in 3500HD dually form. GMC says it will also announce an optional all-new gas engine soon.

Like it did with the light-duty Sierra, designers worked to give the Sierra HD a look that further distinguishes it from its Chevrolet counterpart. We’d say the new front end looks more grumpy than rugged and tough, but you certainly won’t mistake it for the Silverado HD. Then again, as negative as the reaction has been to the Chevy’s new styling, that’s probably a good thing.

Since more than half of all Sierra HDs are sold in Denali form, GMC had to up its interior game, too. The end result is a cabin covered in leather, open-pore wood, and aluminum trim. The front seats also offer headroom and legroom that are said to be best-in-class. And in addition to the touchscreen infotainment system, GMC added a head-up display that it claims is a class first.

You can also now order your Sierra HD with the off-road-focused AT4 package. In addition to some exterior changes and different interior appointments, Sierra HD AT4s all come with an off-road suspension with Rancho shocks, protective skid plates, an Eaton locking rear differential, and 18-inch wheels wearing all-terrain tires. Optional 20-inch wheels are also available. The AT4s also comes with a dedicated off-road mode, hill descent control, hill start assist, and a surround-view camera system.

To make trailering an easier, less-stressful experience, GMC gave the Sierra HD the same ProGrade Trailering System found on the light-duty Sierra. Owners can use the surround-view camera system to choose from 15 different angles, and with the available accessory camera in place, the Sierra HD lets the driver virtually see through the trailer. Owners will also be able to download an app for their phones that can help them check and prepare their truck for towing.

The 2020 GMC Sierra HD will go on sale later this year, with pricing and final specs announced closer to that time.
