Chevrolet Silverado 2024
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: If you're tempted into thinking this is the one vehicle that can do it all, please reconsider. Yes, the HD has enough low-range gearing to be convincing off road, but it's simply too big and heavy for this to be its forte.

Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 good for towing?
You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.
As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.

Chevrolet Silverado 2024 Range
There's no doubt the Silverado likes fuel, but at freeway speeds with nothing on the tow-bar, you should be aiming for around 15 litres per 100km (there's no official figure). Thanks to the 136-litre tank, that should give a range between 800 and 900km.
