2021 Chevrolet Silverado HD gets ready to rock

Chevrolet has refreshed its Silverado HD model, keeping the looks intact (see video) while improving its towing capacity and expanding the range of trim versions.

The rear-wheel driven Silverado 3500 HD Work Truck Regular Cab equipped with twin rear wheels, a 6.6-liter Duramax V8 turbo diesel rated at 451 hp (337 kW) and 1,234 Nm (910 lb-ft) of torque, a ten-speed automatic transmission and the Max Tow package can now tow up to 16,329 kilograms (35,800 pounds). This represents an improvement of 227 kg (500 lbs) over the pre-facelift version. As an added bonus, the trailer assist system also works better than before.

The LTZ trim level spins off a new limited run called the Silverado HD Carhartt Special Edition. Co-designed with special clothing designer Carhartt, it rocks body-matched bumpers and grille, chrome details, a Mosaic Black Metallic paintjob with a thin yellow Carhartt stripe running along the body, a tent and 20-inch wheels shod in all-terrain tires. The seats inside are wrapped in perforated leather dyed Jet Black and Carhartt Brown, stylishly stitched together and adorned with Carhartt logos.

The other new trims – Midnight Edition, Z71 Sport Edition and Z71 Chrome Sport Edition – boil down to special combinations of exterior paint scheme and interior décor. Aside from that, changes were made in the existing trims and two more colors – Cherry Red и Mosaic Black – have been added to the palette.

Sales will begin later this fall.
