2022 Chevrolet Silverado HD Engine Specs

Both the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD come standard equipped with the 6.6L V8 gasoline engine. It’s important to note that this engine doesn’t push these two trucks to their max towing capacities – upgrading to the Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 will produce max capacity. Body size is what makes the difference in towing capacity between these Chevy Silverados in Beaumont. Consider the engine specs below, which outpace the Chevrolet Silverado in Beaumont:

6.6L V8 GAS ENGINE: STANDARD

• 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque
• Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission
• Maximum towing capacity of 17,370 pounds

You might be wondering what the incentive is to purchase the newest model year when the year prior included the same engine. However, this year’s upgraded trailering package takes the Chevy Silverado towing capacity to the next level.
