2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 Reviews Sarasota and Tampa Drivers Should Read

When you’re looking to invest in a heavy duty truck like the 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, reading reviews is essential. Sarasota and Tampa drivers know Cox Chevy works hard to help our drivers out every step of the way, so we’ve brought the highlights of this workhorse of a truck together in one place so you can see all of the reasons to praise it before taking a test drive.

Critics Are Impressed By the New Silverado 2500HD

Since the cabin of the 2500HD brings many of the same amenities as the 1500, we wanted to focus on the 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD reviews that highlighted the power and capabilities:

• Car and Driver: “The 2500 HD doesn’t think ‘work’ is a dirty word; it loves to get down in the mud and get the job done. It offers three cabs, two beds, and five wheelbases, along with work-truck to upscale trim levels. A 6.0L V8 is standard and a gas/CNG version is offered, but the way to go is the 6.6L Duramax turbodiesel with Allison transmission and 18,000-lb towing capacity. We especially like the independent torsion-bar front suspension, quick steering, and remarkably smooth ride.”
• Kelley Blue Book: “If you admire the style and feature content of the Chevy Silverado and need the ability to tow and haul heavy loads, say hello to the heavy-duty series. An available diesel engine with 765 lb-ft of torque and a dually option add even more capability.”
• Edmunds: “This big rig is unexpectedly smooth and quiet on the road. Moreover, it offers a pair of outstanding engines that can really haul the mail, whether you choose the gasoline (or bi-fuel) V8 or the monstrous turbodiesel V8. Throw in a nicely appointed interior and you’ve got a remarkably well-rounded vehicle, especially by the traditionally utilitarian standards of this segment.”

The 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Highlights

While the cabin of the Silverado 2500HD is whatever you make of it thanks to four distinct and well-appointed trim levels, the performance features really let the truck shine:

• Amenities: Cabin features like a rearview camera make it easier to back up your truck and line up with a trailer while Bluetooth keeps you connected on even the longest drives.
• Powertrains: A standard 360-hp 6.0L V8 and a 397-hp 6.6L turbodiesel with 765 lb.-ft. of torque give this truck the power it needs, letting it tow as much as 18,000 pounds (the Silverado 1500’s towing maxes out at 12,000 pounds).
• Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive is standard on all Silverado HD models, but if you want the extra confidence and traction that comes with four-wheel drive, you’ll find it available as well.
