New (2011) Chevrolet Silverado HD Full-Size Truck
The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD was revealed at the Chicago Auto Show with some major upgrades, including an all-new ladder frame, suspension, and axles. Maximum towing capacity is up to 20,000 pounds with the DRW Duramax diesel, beating the Ford F-Series Super Duty F-350’s numbers. The gasoline-fed SRW 6.0-liter V-8 engine will pull 14,500.
Although most of the updates are under the hood, the Silverado’s exterior does get some touch-ups. It gets a larger Chevy emblem on its front bumper and its intake has been enlarged to improve transmission cooling. Other features include standard 17-inch wheels and optional new 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels. The dual rear-wheel tires are still 17-inch, but they now accommodate taller aspect ratio tires.
More details on the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD can be found in the press release below.

CHICAGO – On a recent validation drive of the new, 2011 Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty trucks, engineer Brent Deep towed a 20,000-pound (9,072 kg) trailer for 245 miles (400 km) along I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction, Colo. – and he barely touched the brakes the entire way.
Deep relied on the Silverado’s new, smart exhaust brake system to slow the truck/trailer combination on descents, helping prove the new system is suitable for the most demanding conditions. It was a drive across the heart of the Rocky Mountains and some of the interstate system’s steepest grades, with altitudes ranging from Denver’s approximately 5,000 feet (1,525 m) to more than 11,100 feet (3,400 m) at the Eisenhower Tunnel.
“It takes some courage to leave your foot off the brake, but the Silverado’s Duramax engine and Allison transmission perform the task with smoothness and confidence that really impresses,” said Deep. “Better still, the exhaust brake system can help extend brake pad life and help avoid overheating the brakes on long descents.”
