In the 2023 Chevy Colorado, diesel-style rod bearings, ring carriers, piston rings, and others have considerably extended engine longevity. Since its release, they’ve helped Chevy boost engine power by 24%. The 2024 Silverado sports a Duramax diesel engine and powertrain guarantee. Six years and 100,000 miles replace five years and 60,000 miles. It boasts 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Based on the specs, Chevy claims it can pull 8,900–9,500 pounds.

It should be most full-size truck buyers’ ideal entry-level power plant if GM is right. Most people will drive these to Burger King and Walmart, so the lack of 6.2-liter V8 engines won’t worry them.
