00:00 Well you can't really tell it from the sheet metal, but this is the all new 2011 Chevrolet
00:11 Silverado Heavy Duty, the 2500 and 3500 series.
00:15 Everything under the sheet metal is all new.
00:17 The box frame is five times stiffer than the previous model.
00:21 It's got a heavily redesigned 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine that will make significantly
00:26 more horsepower and torque than the current model's 365 horsepower, 660 pound feet of
00:32 torque.
00:33 Chevy isn't saying what the new numbers are yet, but it also claims 11% improvement in
00:39 fuel economy, thanks in part to the new Ellison six speed automatic transmission.
00:44 There are new features too, like a new towing assist package that's standard, but most importantly
00:50 is the numbers.
00:51 That's big for truck guys.
00:53 Maximum towing is now 20,000 pounds and the maximum payload capacity is 6,335 pounds.
01:00 Obviously with those big numbers, Chevy is going after Ford and Dodge, the big competition
01:05 and the big heavy duty trucks in a big way.
