If you need more towing and hauling ability than a half-ton Silverado can offer, but you want to remain a GM loyalist, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD with the new Duramax diesel engine is the perfect solution.
If you need only the power, towing and fuel economy of diesel engine, you can get one in a Ram 1500, or in the Nissan Titan XD that straddles the fence between half-ton and quarter-ton pickups. Both the Ram HD and Ford Super Duty best the Silverado HD’s 5th-wheel tow ratings.
