The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD gives you two powerful engine choices. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine delivers 401 horsepower, while the available DURAMAX(R) 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 bumps that up to 470 horsepower. Both engines pair with a smooth 10-speed Allison(R) automatic transmission. The diesel option is especially popular for heavy hauling-it produces up to 975 lb-ft of torque and supports a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 lbs, versus 19,090 lbs for the gas engine. Either way, you're getting serious power for work or towing. Ready to explore which engine fits your needs? Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or browse our new Chevrolet inventory online.
