2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD



In the truck world, when you get right down to it, there aren't that many reliable options when it comes to true Heavy Duty work trucks that can tow, haul, climb, perform and get the job done. Chevrolet Trucks have always been "Like a Rock," as the song says and it's no surprise that the Bow Tie brand keeps cranking out incredible vehicles after all these years. Peoria, Illinois area Silverado  buyers are in for an exciting 2011, because Chevrolet has introduced the newest version of the Silverado HD class . . . and it's an absolute beast! Uftring Chevrolet in Washington, Illinois is proud to be offering customers the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500  and 3500 HD  trucks for a variety of reasons.



The all-new 2011 Silverado HD  has been constructed with long-lasting, durable, forward-thinking technology. The available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine and all-star Allison transmission have been beefed up for the new model year. Owners get 765 lb.-ft of torque and a whopping 397 horsepower, with an impressive towing capacity of up to 21,700 lbs. The engine also has improved highway fuel economy by more than 11% with available Allison 1000 Series six-speed automatic transmission. The Vortec 6.0L V8 gas engine with Variable Valve Timing gives drivers up to 360 horsepower and a massive 380 lb.-ft. of torque and is matched with a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission. The available transmissions feature revolutionary Tap-Up / Tap-Down driver shift control, auto grade braking and Tow/Haul mode. General Motors also has the exclusive automatic locking differential as an available option.

With those kinds of meticulous options and configurations, Silverado buyers in Peoria , Washington, Pekin and Morton will always find exactly what they're looking for at Uftring Chevy in Washington.



The raw power of the Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine is made possible by the famous Allison six-speed transmission that has been powering working Chevy trucks for almost ten years. Business owners and recreational drivers alike never want to trust a towing system that is largely unproven. The Allison is a proven commodity and has been powering large loads up big hills for a long, long time. Frequently, you will also find the Allison six-speed transmission on medium duty commercial-grade Chevrolet vehicles.
