The 2021 Chevy Silverado HD is the second model year for the nameplate’s latest fourth-generation, following a complete overhaul (redesign and re-engineering) for the 2020 model year. Now, customers interested in the penultimate LTZ trim level for Silverado 2500HD models have only one cab configuration to choose from, as 2500HD LTZ models are no longer available in the Double Cab configuration.
Previously, the 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LTZ was offered as both a Double Cab and a Crew Cab, including Double Cab / Standard Bed, Double Cab / Long Bed, Crew Cab/ Standard Bed, and Crew Cab / Long Bed configurations.
Now, however, 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LTZ models are limited to Crew Cab configurations (Crew Cab/ Standard Bed, Crew Cab / Long Bed), and are no longer offered as a Double Cab (Double Cab / Standard Bed, Double Cab / Long Bed).
Pricing for LTZ models now starts at $52,795 for Crew Cab / Standard bed configurations with 2WD and the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gas engine. The most expensive LTZ trim on offer is the Crew Cab / Long Bed configuration with 4WD and 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine, which starts at $65,685.
To note, the 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500HD LTZ was already limited to Crew Cab configurations.
The 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD lineup starts with the Work Truck, followed by the Custom, LT, and LTZ. The range-topper of the lineup is the High Country.
Engine options include the atmospheric 6.6L V8 L8T, which produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque and connects to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax, which produces 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque and connects to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin is a more capable version of the GM T1 platform. Assembly takes place at the GM Flint Assembly facility in Michigan, and the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Might double check this but i believe the same is true about the Silverado 1500 for 2021
Correct. I think this is all part of the simplification going on during COVID or until they can get Oshawa running to start adding more capacity.
Who wants to drive a SINGLE CAB TRUCK? Thats just insane.
I got my standard cab with 8 ft. box for 3 BIG reasons:
#1. 8 Ft. Box
#2 Extra cab corner clearance for turning 5th wheel goose neck RV.
#3 Super nice cooling and heating smaller standard cab. It can get 30 below or 100 degrees here.
So, what’s insane for you, is paradise for me.
reg cab A/C rocks same design as a suburban
I do and I love it
This article has nothing to do with a SINGLE CAB TRUCK!! It’s about Double Cab. That’s just insane that you didn’t see that while reading the article if you even did
But still make 2500 in gas?
Seriously wondering if GM has any clue what they are doing. They are losing ground in the pickup truck market to ram let alone Ford
Hi, I am trying to find out when Chevy announced they were discontinuing the LTZ package on double cab? We placed an order for a 2021 Silverado 2500HD with the LTZ package on 12/29/2020. Found out today from the dealer that the dealer was not informed of the discontinuation of the package. Thus, the truck never got built and the dealer was not informed, supposedly, of this. Can anyone tell me when Chevy discontinued it?? I’m pissed!
I’d still buy the gas V8 and add a supercharger and get Hennessy to add goodies then tune it.
Breaking news now available in 8 door polygamist cab with three and a half foot bed and optional privacy glass between rows for your orgy convenience
WTF is that a Ford with a bow tie ? Whoever is the designer for Chevy need to be fired for even thinking . I’ve been looking for a new truck but something like this is holding me back . I don’t see myself spending my money on trucks like this
I own a 2015 6.2 double cab standard bed,LTZ and I love it. It has 80k miles and I have not had any kind of trouble what so ever out of this machine. I had a 2010 5.3 LTZ before this truck and I can tell ya this 6.2 ain’t no Joke. Gets as good or better fuel mileage than the 10 5.3 and the power is incredible, it’s a great truck. I do miss the 8 foot bed on these trucks though, I’m a bricklayer and use my truck foe work and the 8 foot bed is missed.
Umm…. This truck has 6.6 which is very much different than the 6.2 in the light duty trucks.
It’s design is probably more similar to the older 6.0 that came in older heavy-duty trucks…and hopefully as durable as well.
I purchased a new Standard Cab 8 Ft. Bed 2020 Chevy 3500HD WT Z71 6.6L GAS Engine due to catastrophic driveline mechanical failure of my 8 Ft bed .2012 “NON-CHEVY” Diesel 3500 Dually. (MFG. name withheld}. I survived not being burned alive escaping locked cab and admit I have been a Chevy man for most of my life to be truthful to you all. That Dually was a very beautiful lower miles used truck. I was second owner. Having said all that, I gave my towing needs to my Chevy Dealer and I purchased the Standard Cab 2020 3500HD WT Z71 Gas 6.6L with gooseneck installed. 5,000 mi. on it now.
Please don’t compare my WORK TRUCK w/ car-like 1500-2500 models and options. The so called ugly WT front end has I design purpose, THAT BEING BIG RADIATOR FLOW FOR TOWING. The 3500 WT Z71 suspension just about makes you hit your head on cab ceiling on rough trails. Tuff enough.
I will annually pull a 10,000 Lb. 5th wheel across country and/or 8.5′ x 20′ enclosed trailer to Western States, some mountains.
I did not care for the more expensive Chevy 1500 LTZ 8 speed tranny loaner while I waited for my truck cause I felt torque convertor doing something at stop lights and to me was more like a car to me. Must be for gas mileage.
I love my Chevy 3500HD WT so far and it has made me happy suiting my needs.
I learned from Chevy Dealer that the WT models are so designed to be more easily repaired and less down time, which is most important to me towing across the USA.
****Of Special Note: My truck model was purchased during the height of COVID and not much on dealer’s lots.
I believe my Standard Cab 2 door 8 Ft. Bed is not offered anymore. Remember: Standard Cab models usually have higher tow ratings. Hope this helped someone, Chow.
Guess I won’t be buying a LTZ.
OMG….By all means please test drive a new LTZ. They look super sharp and has totally noise free cab. you will probably love it! Nimble and cab quiet.
Please don’t just rely on my one brand new 2020 1500 LTZ loaner truck ($54K range). They might be different in 2021 and remember mine was built during 100% confusion slot time with COVID peaking.
Not at all right to compare 1500 vs. 3500. There are so many great things the Silverado can be opted with now. More and more due to competition. I am aware that GM is hinting an electric platform coming out in news and so if one can hold out or electric designs don’t cut it towing wise…..just a thought I have in mind.
The single most important thing about my 2020 Chevy 3500HD WT 6.6L gas that makes me feel MORE at ease is this:
NO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION ENGINE.
Maybe a huge thing to some. Gee wiz, even corvette engine had that, and there are tweaks to neutralize that.
The worst thing:
6.6L to me is not as proven as yet.
2500/3500 are not subject to fuel economy regulations so engineers are not chasing there tails for .1 increase in mpg here and there
What are the dimensional differences between the crew cab and the double cab?
interior cab space volume is a great question.
a dbl cab gives adequate leg room for shorter people 5’5″ or less or so with tall people up front without having to move their seats
ALL CABS, SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN ALL TRIMS, SURE WAY TO LOSS CUSTOMERS!
all the oems want to push crew cabs with options limited to $2000 pkgs.
