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 2500 or 3500 heavy-duty series. An available diesel engine with 765 lb-ft of torque and a dually option add even more capability.
Brand devotions aside, the Silverado HD pickups are outclassed by competitors. Ford and Ram offer more powerful engines and can tow up to 31,200 pounds. For a manual transmission, look to the Ram. A new, interesting competitor is the diesel-powered Nissan Titan XD that straddles the line between light- and heavy-duty.
