If you have found yourself now in the market for a brand-new Chevrolet pickup truck here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis, a bit of pre-spring comparison could be in order to sort out the fine details! The 2021 Silverado 1500 and the 2021 Silverado HD are two top-selling trucks generating a huge amount of interest, and both have specific features that allow for dominating as a class-leader during different tasks.
Size: At first glance, the 2021 Chevy Silverado HD models are bigger than the 2021 Silverado 1500. The 2500HD and 3500HD weigh in heftily as ¾ ton and one-ton trucks, where the 1500 is a half-ton. This renders the HD models as heavier, taller, and wider, with the extra size proving to be very useful for towing and hauling. Passenger space in the cab is nearly identical on both models, and if you are looking for the truck that comes out ahead in mass, the HD variant is your go-to.
Engine Options are plentiful in the Silverado 1500, with six powertrains on deck to offer your perfect selection. Included are the 4.3-liter V6, a 2.7-liter turbo, a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel, two 5.3-liter V8, and the top-of-the-line 6.2-liter V8. This engine reigns supreme if you are looking for the largest amount of horsepower (420), and the most torque at (460 lb-ft). The Silverado comes equipped with your choice of the 401-horsepower 6.6-liter V8 and a 445-horsepower Duramax turbodiesel that earnestly cranks out 910 lb-ft of torque. The HD's larger engines may see you doubling down at the gas pump, but provide the element of raw grunt that many truck lovers are after.
Towing and Hauling are two of the predominant characteristics that steered many buyers towards trucks in the first place! The Silverado HD's heavy-duty construction allows for towing and hauling substantially more than the Silverado 1500, with the Silverado 3500HD coming in strong as the champion with a gas-powered payload capacity of 7,442 pounds and diesel models lugging up to 6,523 pounds. After the addition of fifth-wheel/gooseneck equipment, these towing maxes rise to 17,200 and 36,000 lbs respectively. The Silverado HD doesn't match either of the HD models, but still boasts towing maximums from 13,300 lbs with the 6.2-liter V8 to 7,900 lbs utilizing the standard V6.
Trim Level Selection within the Silverado camp provides you the ultimate ability to acquire the features that you know will best meet your needs for the task at hand. The Silverado HD has a focus on heavy-duty work, without quite as many trim levels available as the Silverado 1500. They both offer WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country trim, but the Silverado HD doesn't come in Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, or RST trims as the Silverado 1500 does. The Silverado 1500 and HD are pretty close to each other for features. The HD comes minus the new Multi-Flex Tailgate, and also does not have 22-inch wheels.
We hope to see you soon to speak with you in person about your Silverado choice, and steer you in the right direction with a test drive here at Chuck Hutton. Once you designate with Silverado is right for you, you'll be towing, hauling, blazing through the job site with ease, and be overly eager to show off the new rig to your long-time neighbor over a cold one!
