Silverado HD Diesel vs. Gas Engines
Which is better suited for your Winchester jobs: a Chevy Silverado 2500 diesel or gas-powered engine? This is the most important question you’ll need to ask yourself as you configure your new HD pickup.

However, the Chevy Silverado 2500 diesel option offers a hefty advantage when it comes to towing power.
