View InventoryContact Us

When you’ve got a big job to do here in Iowa, you need a truck that doesn’t just show up, but works as hard as you do. I’m talking about the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and let me tell you, this truck is the real deal. After spending some time behind the wheel at Willis Chevrolet Of Granger, I can confidently say it sets a new standard for what a heavy-duty truck should be. It’s more than just raw power; it’s about smart, usable strength, a comfortable cabin that feels like a mobile office, and the kind of durability that gives you peace of mind. Whether I was cruising down Highway 141 or imagining hauling a heavy load for a weekend project, the Silverado 2500 felt unbelievably capable and surprisingly refined.

Uncompromising Performance and Power

Two Powerhouses to Choose From

When it comes to what’s under the hood, the 2026 Silverado 2500 doesn't mess around. I was incredibly impressed with the powertrain options because they cater to exactly what truck owners need. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine feels strong and responsive, providing that classic, rumbling power that gets the job done without breaking a sweat.

For those who need to take things to the next level, the available 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8 is an absolute monster—in the best way possible. I could feel the immense torque the second I touched the pedal. It’s the kind of power that makes towing heavy equipment or a large trailer feel effortless and stable. Paired with the Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission, the shifting is so smooth you barely notice it, allowing the engine to always be in its sweet spot for power and efficiency.

  • Standard 6.6L V8 Gas Engine: Delivers robust horsepower and torque for everyday hauling and towing.
  • Available 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8: Offers class-leading torque for the most demanding jobs, providing maximum towing confidence.
  • Allison® 10-Speed Automatic Transmission: Ensures smooth power delivery and optimizes fuel efficiency.

An Interior That’s Your Command Center on Wheels

Comfort Meets Capability

I’ve been in a lot of truck cabins, and the 2026 Silverado 2500 is a standout. It’s rugged and durable, but it’s also incredibly comfortable and packed with smart technology. The first thing you notice is the space. There’s plenty of headroom and legroom for the whole crew, and the smart storage solutions mean there’s a place for everything.

The centerpiece of the dash is the large, intuitive touchscreen infotainment system. It was so easy to connect my phone and access maps and music. It’s clear that Chevy designed this for real-world use—the buttons and knobs are easy to use even with gloves on. I believe a truck’s interior should be a tool in itself, and this one makes every job easier.

  • Spacious and Comfortable Cabin: Ample room for passengers and clever storage compartments.
  • Advanced Infotainment System: A large, user-friendly touchscreen with seamless smartphone integration.
  • Durable, High-Quality Materials: Built to withstand the rigors of a worksite while providing a comfortable environment.

Exterior Styling That’s Both Bold and Functional

Designed for Work and Play

The 2026 Silverado 2500 looks exactly like it performs: strong, confident, and ready for anything. Its bold front grille and commanding presence turn heads all over Granger. But the design is about more than just looks. Features like the integrated BedSteps and the CornerStep rear bumper make accessing the cargo bed incredibly easy, which is something I really appreciate.

The Multi-Flex Tailgate is another game-changer. It offers six different functions, transforming the tailgate into a step, a workbench, or an extension of the bed. It’s one of those features that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
