Chevy 1500HD vs. 2500
Question: What was the difference between a Chevy Silverado 1500HD and a 2500? Both have heavy axles and the larger V8.
Forum Discussion
1500HD as Mike noted, is for all intents and purposes, an 8600 gvwr 2500 C6P heavy payload, with a 1500 badging to 8200 gvwr.
If you have access to buying one, need a truck that can carry 3000 lbs plus or minus 200-300 lbs in good shape etc, go for it! I would have no issues toting a 10-12 k trailer behind it, as long as I could stay with in axle ratings if around 9500 lbs total iirc. 6000 rear, 3500 or so for front.
