Should I buy a used Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.09% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.43%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.9%.

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. An optional 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 with 470 ponies and 975 pound-feet of twist is available, and both powertrains are mated to an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission.
• 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. Chevrolet ditched its own mapping interface, opting to just use Google maps, and with Google built-in, drivers can access the Play store and Google Assistant.
• 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. Here you’ll get only front pedestrian braking, forward-collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a following distance indicator included as standard equipment.
• Starting price: The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD starts at right around $46,000 MSRP for a base Work Truck in 2WD with a regular cab and long bed.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
