The 2011 Silverado HD underwent testing, resulting in a capbility rating of 21,700 pounds of towing, and 6,635 pounds of payload. 

Rick Spinda, GM Full-size Truck global vehicle line executive, said "Our focus has consistently been on deliverying customers the most capable heavy-duty trucks in the market.  The first set of capability tests confirmed that the team had exceeded the payload and towing targets by a significant margin.  Ongoing testing demonstrated a clear opportunity to increase the true capabilities of these trucks.  Even pulling a combined weight of nearly 15 tons seems easy behind the wheel of a 2011 Silverado HD 3500 with the proven Duramax Diesel. We encourage consumers to test drive the Silverado HD against competitive models.  Based on our test results, we are confident the Silverado HD will prove to be the best cjoice for real-world towing and hauling needs."
