2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
The Silverado 2500HD is offered with a number of engine
upgrades to bolster the already significant power found
on the regular 2500. Like the name suggests, the 2500HD
is there for heavy-duty work. This includes towing,
hauling, and transporting the heaviest loads in the
toughest conditions.
Like the 2500, the 2500HD comes in wide variety of
versions to satisfy whatever requirements customers
have for their pickup needs. There is a two-door regular
cab for two-or-three person seating, and a four-door
extended cab (two rear-hinged back doors) and crew cab
(four conventional doors), both capable of seating up
to six. The regular cab has an 8.1 ft. long box, while
the extended cab and crew cab offer either the long
box or a 6.5 ft. short box. 2WD and 4WD configurations
are available on all cab sizes, as well as a special
chassis cab enhancement. There are two models to choose
from, LS and uplevel LT (not available on regular cab
size), which provides more standard equipment.
Under the Hood
The Silverado 2500HD is equipped with a tough 6.0-liter/
364-cu. in V8 engine with 300 horsepower at 4400rpm
and 360lb-ft of torque at 4000rpm. 5-speed manual transmission
is standard, while 4-speed and 5-speed automatic transmission
and 6-speed manual transmission are optional. A standard
trailering and hauling package attends the 2500HD as
well. For safety, the 2500HD's sturdy construction,
clean handling and power Hydro-boost brake-apply system
(four-wheel disc, four-wheel antilock brakes) ensure
the security of driver and passengers alike.
Two optional engines are also available across all
models. One is an 8.1-liter/ 496-cu. in V8 with 340
hp at 4200rpm and 455lb-ft. of torque at 3200rpm, while
the other is a diesel 6.6-liter/ 403-cu. in V8 with
300 hp at 3100rpm and 520lb-ft. of torque at 1800rpm.
With such a selection, buyers will have no reason to
complain of a lack of engine variety.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The 2003 Silverado 2500HD looks and acts tough. The
LS model has such standard features as air conditioning
w/dual-zone manual climate control, power steering,
tilt steering wheel, and vinyl upholstery. LT models
have even more comforts to relax with, including the
OnStar System, leather upholstery, heated bucket seats
and more.
Like all Silverados, the 2500HD has a wealth of options
packages to compliment the performance and reliability
inherent in every model.
The 2003 Silverado 2500HD certainly lives up to the
challenge that comes with its 'heavy duty' title.
