Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 – General Motors' heavy pick-up range from North America since 1998: HD versions with Duramax diesel, engine outputs 185 to 332 kW, displacements 3.0 to 7.4 litres
The Silverado is Chevrolet's pick-up range, introduced in 1998 as successor to the C/K series and since then, alongside the Ford F-150/F-250 and the Ram, one of the best-selling commercial vehicles in North America. The 2500 and 3500 numerical designations follow the usual US weight-class logic (half-ton 1500, three-quarter-ton 2500, one-ton 3500); the HD suffix stands for Heavy Duty with reinforced suspension and the optional Duramax turbo-diesel V8. Built on the same platform, sister brand GMC sells the model as the Sierra.

The register lists 123 versions with engine outputs of 185 to 332 kW, displacements of 2,990 to 7,443 cm³, six to eight cylinders and gross vehicle weights of 3,500 to 5,988 kg.
The Silverado HD serves North America's segment of heavy pick-ups for towing, construction and agricultural use, competing directly with the Ford Super Duty and the Ram HD; its hallmark is a high towing capacity combined with a robust ladder frame.
On used diesel versions, what counts is the condition of the injection pump and injectors of the Duramax V8, transmission wear on Allison automatics, corrosion on the ladder frame and rear springs, brakes and axles, plus the good parts supply through GM's dense dealer network.
With gross vehicle weights between 3,500 and 5,988 kg, the Silverado HD falls, under European rules, into EU vehicle class N2 (3.5 to 12 t); commercial use here requires a category C1 driving licence, a tachograph and compliance with driving and rest times, and in several European countries a distance-based toll as well. As a straight pick-up without a fifth-wheel coupling, the Silverado HD remains a rigid vehicle with a fixed load bed, not a tractor unit.
