What’s new on the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD?
The 2026 Silverado HD continues with the proven platform from 2025. This model maintains the heavy-duty frame, available diesel powertrain, and towing technologies that have made it a reliable choice for commercial and agricultural work in Saskatchewan.
Powertrain
Powertrain
The Silverado HD lineup includes two engine choices. The gasoline option is a 6.6-litre V8 delivering substantial power for everyday towing and hauling tasks. For maximum capability, the available Duramax 6.6-litre turbo-diesel V8 provides increased torque for heavy trailer work. Four-wheel drive provides traction on Saskatchewan gravel roads and winter conditions. The truck includes trailer brake controller integration and exhaust brake functionality on diesel models.
Efficient Combustion & Increased Low-End Torque
The powertrain’s evolution is marked by optimized combustion and augmented torque at lower revs, resulting in a more adept and assuring driving experience, especially noticeable during towing. With the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD, the Duramax engine’s towing capacity spans from 22,050 to 22,430 pounds, while the 3500 HD can pull an incredible 31,000 to 36,000 pounds.
Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
An important detail is the integration of the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission across the 6.6L V8 gas and Duramax diesel engines. This transmission ensures a more sustained delivery of power due to finer gear ratios and bolsters downhill control and towing performance, thus refining the overall weight ratings and driving dynamics.
Weight Rating & Driving Experience
The 6.6L V8 gas engine delivers a robust 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, granting the capability to tow upwards of 19,000 pounds.
Technology
The available touchscreen infotainment system includes smartphone connectivity for hands-free calling and navigation. Wireless device charging keeps phones ready during long workdays. The system can display trailer camera views to assist with hitching and monitoring loads. Available safety features include rear vision camera, rear park assist, and available forward collision alert. Trailer-specific technologies include trailer sway control and hill start assist for launching heavy loads. The truck offers multiple camera views to help navigate tight spaces on construction sites or farm equipment yards. USB charging ports keep devices powered throughout the workday.
Exterior
The Silverado HD features a bold front grille designed for airflow to the engine and cooling systems. The chrome grille surround and dual headlamp design create a commanding road presence. The high-strength steel bed includes tie-downs and available spray-in bedliner for securing cargo. Depending on configuration, buyers can choose single rear wheels or dual rear wheels for increased payload capacity. The truck rides on heavy-duty wheels sized for the demands of towing and hauling. LED lighting provides visibility during early morning starts and late evening returns to the worksite.
Interior
Inside, the Silverado HD cabin balances work functionality with daily driving comfort. The dashboard houses an available touchscreen for navigation and vehicle monitoring. Seating accommodates up to six passengers in crew cab configurations, with durable upholstery designed for work use. Storage compartments throughout the cabin hold tools, paperwork, and personal items. Crew cab models offer rear seat space suitable for transporting work crews. The centre console provides cupholders and device storage. Climate controls manage Saskatchewan’s temperature extremes, from winter cold to summer heat.
The WT (Work Truck) trim provides essential features for fleet and commercial use. LT adds comfort features including upgraded seating and additional technology. The LTZ brings leather-appointed seating and enhanced interior materials. High Country represents the top trim level with premium finishes. Buyers choose between regular cab, double cab, and crew cab body styles. Bed lengths vary by configuration, with long bed options maximizing cargo space. Single rear wheel models suit general towing, while dual rear wheel configurations increase payload for heavy hauling operations.
