2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is mostly a carryover, with no broad styling, technology, safety, or structural updates. The main change is that the LT, LTZ, and Work Truck drop their natural-gas powertrain option and add gasoline powertrain entries.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
3rd-generation Silverado HD (2015-2019), final year before the all-new 2020 heavy-duty redesign.
The Silverado 2500HD is Chevrolet’s heavy-duty pickup for people who tow, haul, plow, or work out of their truck regularly. Its core appeal is straightforward: strong towing hardware, a proven available diesel, multiple cab and bed layouts, and trims that run from basic fleet truck to luxury tow rig. Compared with lighter-duty pickups, the 2500HD is built first around load-carrying and trailer control, then layered with comfort depending on trim.
The 2019 lineup ranges from the task-first Work Truck to the more comfortable LT and leather-trimmed LTZ, with High Country serving as the upscale version. Notable features include a 7-inch touchscreen in the Work Truck, an 8-inch touchscreen in LT and LTZ, and heated and ventilated leather seats, Bose audio, and added driver-assist features in High Country.

Powertrain
The LT, LTZ, and Work Truck drop their natural-gas powertrain option and add gasoline powertrain entries. The broader 6.0-liter gas V8, 6.6-liter Duramax diesel, and six-speed automatic strategy otherwise carries over.

“l love it except for the brakes, don't know if it is just because it is a diesel but the pedal is hard and doesn't was to stop easily without a lot of effort.”
“I needed a truck for hauling my travel trailer. I originally bought a Chevy Silverado 1500. It worked but it seemed maxed out. So I bought the Silverado 2500 HD and have not looked back. This truck is amazing while towing the travel trailer.”
