HD means Heavy Duty
"The HD variant is a heavy-duty light truck. It is a strengthened version of the Silverado/Sierra light-duty, and is available in the 1500HD, 2500HD, and 3500 models. The 1500HD, introduced in 2001, offers a Vortec 6000 V8 with 300 hp (220 kW) at 5200 rpm and 360 ft·lbf (454 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm with a Hydra-Matic four-speed transmission. The 2500HD also offers an available Duramax V8 with 310 hp (231 kW) at 3000 rpm and 605 ftˑlbf (820 Nˑm) of torque at 1600 rpm. Also available is the Vortec 8100 V8 with 340 hp (242 kW) at 4200 rpm and 455 ftˑlbf (606 Nˑm) of torque at 3200 rpm.
The 2500HD has an available five-speed Allison 1000 transmission. The Silverado 3500 offers the same engine/transmission features that the 2500HD does, however it is usually equipped with "dualie" twin wheels at the rear and has a much stronger chassis. The HD models are primarily used for towing and high-weight cargo.
Towing capacity for the 1500HD is rated at 10,300 lb (4,672 kg), and can haul 3,129 lb (1,419 kg) in the bed. The 2500HD ups these ratings to 16,100 lb (7,303 kg) with the 8.1 litre engine or 10,600 lb (4808 kg) with the 6.0 litre engine, and and 4,058 lb (1,841 kg), while the 3500 can tow 16,700 lb (7,575 kg) and haul 5,511 lb (2,500 kg). The addition of 4 wheel drive tends to reduce the towing and carrying capacity by 200 to 400 lb, depending upon year and model. Other factors, such as options, can also affect these numbers.
