The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, part of the third-generation Silverado lineup, is one of the most powerful heavy-duty pickups on the market. It comes in three body styles (regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab) and two drivelines (RWD and 4WD). Engine choices include a standard 6.0L Vortec V8 producing 360 hp, and a 6.6-liter Duramax V8 Turbo-Diesel generating 397 hp. The latter is paired with an Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission, known for its durability and smooth shifting. Inside, the Silverado is laid out in typical Chevy fashion with user-friendly controls and durable materials. Its optional navigation system includes a rearview camera. Notably, this year added standard stability control and a trailer sway control feature, enhancing the truck’s safety equipment.
