Oshawa, Ontario – Chevrolet today announced pricing for the 2011 Silverado HD, featuring key structural improvements plus enhanced performance and fuel efficiency for the Duramax diesel engine and Allison transmission. Aimed specifically at leading the segment in meeting the tough demands of HD customers, the new Silverado HD delivers best-in-class horsepower (397 HP), torque (765 lb-ft), towing (up to 9,863 kgs / 21,700 lbs) and payload (up to 3,015 kg / 6,635lbs). Chevrolet then added one more best – value – with the 2500 regular cab 2WD model starting at a base price of just $35,600.
“Heavy duty pickup customers have clear needs; they want rock-solid reliability plus maximum power and capability, at the best value possible,” said Truck Marketing Manager for Canada, Santo Giardina. “So with the new Silverado HD, Chevy delivered huge increases in power and capability while actually improving fuel economy with the Duramax diesel engine.”
An upgrade to the proven Duramax diesel engine (now B20 biodiesel capable), together with the Allison transmission adds $9,670. Not only does it deliver segment-leading capabilities, but also an estimated 11% improvement in fuel economy and a highway cruising range of up to 1,090 kilometres.
The 2011 Silverado HD also offers the latest technology in driver confidence and control features such as trailer sway control, smart exhaust braking, hill start assist and more. An all-new chassis, featuring a fully-boxed, high-strength steel frame combines with the enhanced powertrain to deliver segment-best towing and payload capacity.
The longest lasting, most dependable pickup truck on the road, the Silverado HD will be offered in work truck, LT and LTZ trim levels in Canada. Delivery to dealers is expected in early June. All models come with a segment-best five-year/160,000-km powertrain warranty.
