Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Chevy Silverado 2500HD comes standard with a 6.6-liter V8 gas engine delivering 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, and an optional 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 with 470 ponies and 975 pound-feet of twist is available.
• Tech: Chevy goes bigger on tech in the 2024 Silverado 2500HD with a 12.3-inch configurable gauge cluster and a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard, starting on the LT trim.
• Safety: When it comes to standard advanced driver’s safety features, the Silverado 2500 HD doesn’t go quite as far as the Ford SuperDuty.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
