This specific configuration targets the professional who requires serious hauling capacity without sacrificing daily drivability or comfort. Under the hood, the Duramax 6.6L turbocharged diesel engine delivers exceptional low-end torque and class-leading capability that defines the segment.
Unmatched Towing and Payload Capacity
When configured correctly, the 2500HD AT4 Diesel sets the benchmark for what a half-ton towing truck can achieve. The combination of the robust diesel powertrain and the available multi-pro tailgate facilitates maximum towing capacities reaching 18,000 pounds. This performance is backed by a class-exclusive maximum payload of 4,200 pounds, making it ideal for contractors, tradespeople, and enthusiasts who move heavy equipment regularly.

Power is transmitted to the ground through a robust 10-speed automatic transmission and available four-wheel-drive system. The diesel engine produces 445 horsepower and an impressive 910 lb-ft of torque, providing seamless acceleration even when hauling substantial loads.
