Dependable Performance

Two outstanding engines are offered for this edition of the Silverado 2500, and while both are 6.6-liter engines, one teams with a gas powertrain and the other a turbo-diesel variant. The gas engine delivers 401 horsepower paired with a quiet-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, providing the truck with exceptional strength and smooth rides every mile of the way.

The turbo-diesel engine generates a bit more horsepower, with 445 horses, which gives it an edge when it comes to towing capabilities, as the gas engine can haul up to 17,310 pounds and the turbo diesel maxes out at 18,510 pounds. The turbo-diesel engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and regardless of which engine you choose, both are perfect for off-road adventures if you opt for the available four-wheel drive.

Comfort and Technology

This truck’s cabin was designed with maximum comfort in mind, as is obvious when looking at its available features, like the leather-trimmed seats with both a lumbar function and heating setting and the dual-zone climate control that allows you to choose two different temperatures for the cabin to cater to different preferences.

Whether you like listening to music on your journeys, need to make phone calls using voice commands, or think you might need navigation instructions, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System can cater to all these needs. There’s also an eight-camera monitoring system that can help you see around the vehicle or easily connect to a trailer with its 15 different available views.

Safety Monitoring Systems

This truck’s safety features are also praiseworthy, like Lane Departure Warning, which can notify you whenever you start to unintentionally leave your lane, and the Following Distance Indicator, a system that tells you how far you are from the vehicle ahead of you.

Forward Collision Alert works with Automatic Emergency Braking to help avert collisions with vehicles in front of you. When you need to slow down to avoid another vehicle, the first system can let you know. If you need to stop and still haven’t done so, the second system can help you by automatically applying brake pressure.

Impressively powerful and with a tech-laden cabin that’s as luxurious as it is comfortable, the 2023 Silverado 2500 offers something for everyone. To see this reliable pickup in the flesh, schedule your test drive by contacting us at Chevrolet of Ottawa.
