2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD Custom: Roslyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Silverado HD Custom
Custom starts at $49,200 before destination on the 2500HD, about $3,300 over WT, and adds style and convenience content rather than a mechanical upgrade — the standard 401-hp V8, the available Duramax diesel, the 10-speed Allison automatic, and the 8-inch wired-CarPlay touchscreen all carry over unchanged from WT. Custom is clearly documented on the 2500HD order guide; whether it's offered on the 3500HD specifically is less certain, so anyone shopping a 3500HD Custom should confirm current availability with East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn.
What separates Custom from WT
Underneath, Custom and WT are the same truck — same 6.6L V8 standard, same Duramax diesel option, same 10-speed Allison automatic, same 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. What roughly $3,300 buys moving up to Custom is additional style and convenience content over WT's more basic spec, the kind of trim-level polish that shows up in cabin materials and exterior details rather than anything that changes what the truck can tow or haul. If the goal is simply "the least expensive way into a Silverado HD with a slightly nicer cabin than WT," Custom is that trim.
One thing worth being direct about: the 2500HD order guide clearly lists Custom as an available trim, but independent industry sources are less consistent on whether Custom is offered on the 3500HD specifically. If a 3500HD is the actual target — because the job calls for the heavier chassis or the dual-rear-wheel option — confirming Custom's current availability on that specific truck with East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn before assuming it's on the order sheet is worth the phone call.
Who Custom actually makes sense for
A buyer who wants full HD capability and a step above WT's base cabin, without paying for LT's power driver's seat or LTZ's bigger screen. It's a genuinely small price jump for a genuinely small equipment jump — useful for a buyer who's decided WT feels a bit too stripped down in person but doesn't need LT's additional convenience features either.
What Roslyn buyers say
Alfonse Marchica's review captures the kind of straightforward, budget-focused purchase that fits a Custom-trim buyer's mindset: "Ricardo and the rest of the team were amazing and got me out of my Ford Lease and into a brand new Chevy Silverado keeping my payment affordable and within budget. Thank You to all at East Hills Chevy of Roslyn." Trading in from another brand, working the payment to a specific number — that's the kind of deal-focused shopping Custom is built for.
Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference between WT and Custom?
About $3,300 in MSRP, and it's style and convenience content rather than mechanical — both trims share the identical 401-hp V8, the available Duramax diesel, the 10-speed Allison automatic, and the 8-inch wired-CarPlay touchscreen. Custom isn't a more capable truck than WT, just a better-appointed one.
Is Custom available on the 3500HD?
It's clearly listed on the 2500HD order guide; availability on the 3500HD specifically is less consistently documented across sources. Anyone specifically shopping a 3500HD Custom should confirm current availability directly with East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn rather than assume it's on the order sheet.
Can Custom be ordered with the diesel engine?
Yes — the 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel is available across the Silverado HD lineup, Custom included, the same as it is on WT and every trim above it.
