Honest: Chevy wins on standard torque (464 vs 445), bed tie-downs (12 vs 6), Multi-Flex Tailgate availability, cabin space, and the Allison 10-speed transmission. Ford wins on diesel halo numbers (500 HP / 1,200 lb-ft / 40,000 lb gooseneck). For most HD use cases under 36,000 lb tow, Silverado HD is the better truck.

Worth it if you tow regularly over 15,000 lbs, make long road trips (diesel has range advantage), keep the truck 5+ years, or need the 36,000-lb gooseneck capability. Not worth it for occasional tow, short commute, or if you want the lowest up-front cost. Gas V8 401 HP / 464 lb-ft is still a very capable truck.

Per Chevrolet, max available trailering is 36,000 lbs with the 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 (properly equipped 3500HD DRW). The 6.6L V8 gas tops out at 19,080 lbs max available. Your actual tow rating depends on cab, bed, rear-wheel config, hitch setup, and GCWR — we can spec the right truck for your specific trailer.

2500HD is single-rear-wheel (SRW) only. 3500HD steps up to higher GVWR, higher payload, and the option of dual rear wheel (DRW) for commercial fleet and heavy gooseneck towing. The 36,000-lb max gooseneck rating requires the 3500HD DRW with the Duramax. If you need payload above about 4,000 lbs or you tow a large gooseneck regularly, the 3500HD DRW is the right truck.

DRW (dual rear wheels) is required for the heaviest gooseneck ratings and the highest payload ratings. SRW works for most daily tow-and-haul, parks easier, and costs less. If you're consistently towing heavy gooseneck (above about 25,000 lbs) or hauling the heaviest commercial loads, DRW is the clear upgrade. Our team will run your specific use case through GM's Trailering Guide before you order.

2500HD: six trims (WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, ZR2, High Country). 3500HD: four trims (WT, LT, LTZ, High Country—Chevy dropped Custom and ZR2 from 3500HD for 2026). LT and LTZ are 4WD-only across both series. LTZ is Crew Cab only.

For most buyers: LT Crew Cab 4WD 2500HD at $52,600 with the gas V8—gets you 13.4\" touchscreen, HD Surround Vision, Pro Trailering package, and 401 HP / 464 lb-ft without jumping to LTZ price. Add the Duramax ($10K) if you tow heavy. For max work: WT 3500HD DRW with Duramax (contact us for pricing on your configuration). ZR2 (2500HD only, $73,200) for off-road halo buyers.

New White Sands and Polar White Tricoat colors. 12-spoke 20-inch wheel design. Integrated trailer brake controller now standard. ZR2 adds Multi-Flex Tailgate and Technology Package (rear camera mirror + 15" head-up display) standard. LTZ Double Cab eliminated. LT and LTZ now 4WD-only. 3500HD dropped Custom trim and no longer offers ZR2.

Yes on WT and Custom. For 2026, LT and LTZ are 4WD-only (Chevy dropped RWD on those trims). All Chassis-Cab 3500HDs still offer RWD.

The 6.6L Duramax runs on regular diesel. At $4/gal diesel and ~15 MPG combined, about $95 to fill a 24-gallon tank. Range is roughly 360 miles per tank. Duramax typically goes 300K miles with routine maintenance.

We opened in 2016 with a simple idea: be a dealer for the people. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics, a team that actually listens. We're right on the Cape in Bourne at 420 MacArthur Blvd — no fighting traffic on Route 128 or I-93 to buy a truck. Hours: Mon-Thu 9-7, Fri 9-6, Sat 9-4. ASE-certified techs with full Chevrolet diagnostic equipment on site. We're a small business ourselves and understand that trust is earned, not assumed.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every 2026 Silverado HD: automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, front pedestrian braking, IntelliBeam auto high beams. Plus HD Rear Vision Camera, StabiliTrak, Teen Driver, and OnStar Safety and Security. Trailer-side features include integrated brake controller (now standard 2026), available Trailer Sway Control, and up to 14 available camera views with Transparent Trailer View.

Max payload varies significantly by cab, bed, drivetrain, and whether you are in a 2500HD or 3500HD SRW/DRW. The 3500HD DRW Regular Cab is the heaviest-payload configuration. For your exact trim and build, we will pull the published payload rating off the window sticker before you commit — exact numbers depend on your options list.

Available on the High Country trim (both 2500HD and 3500HD). Hands-free driving on approximately 400,000 miles of compatible roads, including towing capability (Super Cruise with trailers is available). Requires OnStar subscription after trial.

Yes. We keep a healthy HD inventory across trims and configurations, but HD trucks often trade in fewer combinations than light-duty. If we don't have the exact truck you want, we can locate one from another dealer or place a factory order. Factory orders typically take 10-14 weeks; lock in current incentives at order date.

No. The 6.6L V8 gas runs on regular unleaded (87 octane). Not premium. Chevrolet recommends Top Tier gasoline for engine cleanliness.

Mechanically identical—same 6.6L V8 gas, same 6.6L Duramax, same 10-speed Allison, same chassis, same factory (Flint, Michigan). Trim positioning differs: Sierra HD leans more upscale with AT4 and AT4X trim (roughly analogous to Silverado HD LTZ / ZR2). Sierra HD typically runs $1,500-$3,000 more trim-for-trim. Silverado HD is higher-volume, often better incentive availability.

3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain, 6 years / 100,000 miles corrosion, plus roadside assistance and courtesy transportation during warranty repairs. The Duramax adds a 5 year / 100,000 mile diesel-specific warranty.

Yes. Every 2026 Silverado HD is assembled at GM's Flint Assembly plant in Flint, Michigan—the same plant that has built HD Chevys and GMCs for decades. The 6.6L V8 gas and 6.6L Duramax engines are also GM-built in North America.

Approximately 6.0-6.5 seconds with the Duramax—very quick for a 7,500+ lb truck thanks to 975 lb-ft of torque. The gas V8 is closer to 7.5-8 seconds. The ZR2's mud-terrain tires and 1.5-inch lift add a few tenths to stock. (Independent testing; manufacturer doesn't publish 0-60 for HD.)

Yes. Our finance team will run you through GM Financial and a network of banks to get pre-approved in about 10-15 minutes. Call 508-417-8675 or start online. Pre-approval locks in your rate, tells you the ceiling on what you can spend, and speeds up the paperwork at pickup.

Through April 30, 2026: 3.9% APR for 60 months for well-qualified buyers on the Silverado HD. Plus $1,000 Customer Cash across all trims. Costco members stack $1,250 (Executive) or $1,000 (standard) on top—up to $2,250 total with Costco Executive. Additional programs for military, first responders, educators, healthcare workers, college grads, and current GM lessees. Call 508-417-8675.

Strong track record. J.D. Power named the 2025 Silverado HD “America's Most Dependable Heavy-Duty Pickup”—Silverado HD has been America's Most Awarded HD Truck for new vehicle quality for a decade running.
