Built to tow 13,000 pounds, the Chevy 2500 has a maximum towing capacity of 16,700 pounds when equipped with a fifth-wheel hitch. That ability can be traced to its power plant. Standard for the 2500 is a solid Vortec 6.0L V-8 (LY6) engine that generates 353 horsepower and 373 lb.-ft. of torque on regular unleaded gasoline. Putting the work in this luxury workhorse, my test beast was outfitted with a 6.6-liter Duramax Diesel engine mated to an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission. That set-up provided a brawny, segment-leading 365 horsepower and 660 lb.-ft. of torque. HD MEANS HEAVY DUTY .**Note The Smaller Gas Engine ** Max Is 10,600 lb (4808kg) with the 6.0 liter engine***
