we’re breaking new ground in more ways than one. If it matters to heavy-duty pickup owners, it matters to Chevy. So we engineered the new 2011 Silverado HD with durable, advanced technology that makes this our most powerful heavy-duty ever. First, we strengthened the available, proven Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine and Allison® transmission to generate an earth-shaking 765 lb.-ft. of torque and 397 horsepower — more than the previous-generation Silverado HD — plus towing capacities up to 21,700 lbs.

for heavy-duty trucks, torque is king. B20 BIodIesel The available Duramax Diesel can run on B20 biodiesel,2 a fuel that’s produced using domestic, renewable resources. B20 is composed of 20% biodiesel mixed with regular diesel. The new, available Duramax runs cleaner too, with a 60% reduction in NOx emissions from our previous model. That’s thanks to an optimized Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) system.

“bigger, badder, and better…” IndePendent Front susPensIon The new independent front suspension allows each front wheel to react independently to rough terrain, helping keep each wheel in a vertical position and more firmly planted on the road. Compare this to a solid front axle design where movement on one side affects the wheel on the other. — caranddriver.com, february 2010 Beauty may only be skin deep, but inner strength is another matter altogether.
STURDiER InCreAsed GvWr The fully boxed frame and all-new front and rear suspensions are the biggest reasons for the huge increases in Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings, up to 14% on some models. Massive components include threeinch-wide rear leaf springs and precision-machined forged upper control arms for added strength. FIFth-Wheel reAdy It’s easy to add a fifth-wheel trailer hitch to the new Silverado HD, thanks to numerous provisions found on the high-strength steel frame.
MORE SECURE silverado hd makes driving heavy trucks easy. When you have big jobs lined up from dusk to dawn, sometimes it’s hard to slow down. And while that work ethic is admirable, we knew you needed a truck that would slow down — and stop — when your days are packed and you’re pulling the biggest loads. So we added innovative components like an available diesel exhaust brake1 that lets you use less conventional braking and helps keep your truck and trailer in control while traveling downhill.
BrAkInG CommunICAtIon trAIler sWAy Control stABIlItrAk eleCtronIC stABIlIty Control InteGrAted trAIler BrAke Controller The StabiliTrak control module allows components to “talk” to each other and vary the amount of braking needed based on the truck, the load and the grade. That’s an important conversation, since having the muscle to get a big load moving is just the first part of the towing equation. The second part is having the brains to slow it down.
BIGGer, stronGer BrAkes Proven, durABle AllIson trAnsmIssIon hIll stArt AssIst Auto GrAde BrAkInG Everything about the Silverado HD brakes has been improved. Larger rotors and calipers improve brake pedal feel and result in shorter pedal travel. With Intelligent Brake Assist, the calipers are preloaded. So when the system senses a panic-braking situation, the brakes can be fully applied more quickly.

The available Trailering Package includes a trailer hitch platform and 2.5inch receiver with 2-inch adapter, 7-wire harness mated to 7-way sealed connector, integrated trailer brake controller and automatic locking rear differential.
