Used Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD from 2010 to 2024, across 3 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $13,000 to $53,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2010–2014, 2016–2024. Look harder at or skip 2015.
2020–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
A heavy-duty pickup with big gas or diesel engines and huge towing ratings.
Years to target: 2020–2024. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $40,500 | Target | Not rated | ~90,000 |
| 2021 | $43,500 | Target | Not rated | ~75,000 |

| 2024 | $53,500 | Target | Not rated | ~35,000 |
Worth knowing
- The ride is stiff when empty. Diesel emissions parts are expensive to fix, so ask for service records.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the LT: it adds a larger touchscreen, dual-zone climate and a power driver seat over the WT and Custom. The 6.6-liter Duramax diesel is best for heavy towing.
On the test drive
Many were work trucks. Look underneath for frame and brake-line rust, and check the hitch for signs of heavy towing. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from 2024, optional from 2020.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2024, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
