GM is using the Chicago auto show to unwrap its latest salvo in the heavy-duty pickup wars: the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty. Available in three-quarter- or one-ton strengths, the new Silverado HD is a workhorse aimed squarely at the new 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty and 2011 Ford F-series Super Duty.
While it consists almost entirely of mechanical updates, rather than a complete vehicle overhaul, the new Silverado HD indeed appears to be a serious piece of work-site hardware. Although the company has yet to outline the improvements for the Silverado’s twin, the 2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty, the two should remain identical under the skin, with the GMC set apart by the usual unique aesthetic tweaks.
