Built for work

If your business needs to haul heavy loads, the 2021 Silverado MD has you covered. MD stands for "Medium Duty" and it is a dual-rear-wheel truck powered by a 6.6L V8 engine. To say it's stout is a bit of an understatement as you'll get 350 horsepower and a massive 700 lb-ft of torque. You can find the Silverado MD in both regular cab and crew cab configurations in a variety of wheelbases with both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

5 reasons to buy the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado MD

1. Big V8 power 

Hauling is always easier with a V8 and the 2021 Silverado MD has a big one. The 6.6L turbodiesel V8 makes 350 horsepower but pumps out a planet-shifting 700 lb-ft of torque. The Silverado MD has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of up to 16,500 pounds when properly equipped. If you are only going to have one engine option, better make it a good one which is just what Chevrolet offers on the 2021 Silverado MD.  

2. Keep it simple 

Sure, the base trim is pretty basic but it's got what you need. It has standard features like air conditioning, power locks, cruise control, auxiliary audio input, and more. Hop up to the LT trim and you'll get Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, power seats, power mirrors, and available satellite radio.

  

3. Available 4WD 

The 'dually' Silverado MD comes with standard rear-wheel drive. However, sometimes the job site gets muddy or rocky and you'll need a bit more traction. Have no fear — the 2021 Silverado MD has optional 4WD to help you traverse rough terrain or navigate foul weather. 

4. Choice of cabs 

If you only have a few folks heading to the site, the regular cab seats up to three people across the front bench. However, if you need more interior space, search our lots for the crew cab. You'll get seating for up to six.  

5. Plenty of versatility 

Depending on your needs, you might need a dump truck, a service vehicle, or some other configurations. The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado MD has you covered; its bare rear chassis is ready to tackle any job you can throw at it.
