The 2024 Silverado 3500 HD delivers serious towing power. With the available DURAMAX 6.6L turbo-diesel V8, you get up to 470 horsepower, 975 lb-ft of torque, and an impressive 36,000 lbs maximum towing capacity. The standard 6.6L V8 gasoline engine provides 401 horsepower and handles up to 19,090 lbs of towing.

Both engines pair with a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission for smooth, controlled power whether you're in town or hauling heavy loads. Maximum payload reaches 7,234 lbs, and you can configure the truck in single or dual rear wheel setups depending on your needs.

Options like All-Wheel Drive and Off-Road Suspension let you tackle any terrain with confidence. The Advanced Trailering System adds even more capability, helping you manage challenging pulls.
