The heavy-duty pickup segment is constantly locked in bitter battle. The latest Chevy Silverado HD might be vastly improved over its predecessor, but that isn't enough to come out ahead of offerings from Ram and Ford.

As it has in the past, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 pairs a Duramax diesel engine and a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission.

In this instance, the L5P Duramax V-8 produces a meaty 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque.

While that might seem like a lot of twist, and it's ahead of the Ram 2500's 850 pound-feet, the Ford F-250 is the king of torque, offering 1050 pound-feet.

The 10-speed Allison automatic transmission does a commendable job swapping cogs without annoyance.

With all the relevant options boxes checked, the Silverado 2500 can tow up to 22,050 pounds from its gooseneck hitch.

Our tester lacked the Max Trailering package and came with all-terrain tires and 4WD, lowering our max towing capacity to 12,000 pounds behind the bumper or 18,100 pounds via fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch.

Sure, some electric trucks put down similar torque figures, but with an as-tested price of $85,855, the Chevy 2500 is something of a bargain compared to those flashy new EVs.

Our test truck's High Country trim includes all sorts of creature comforts that are only optional on lower models.

Its trimmings border on luxury-car nice, but competitors are even more pleasing inside.

The PHEV with the longest EV range you can buy right now is a bit surprising, partially because it’s just so… normal. Taking the crown with an EPA-rated electric-only range of 54 miles is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC350e, the plug-in version of Benz’s best-selling compact crossover.
