The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD gives you two powerful engine choices: a standard 6.6L V8 gasoline engine with 401 horsepower, or the available DURAMAX(R) 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 with 470 horsepower and up to 975 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with a smooth automatic transmission for reliable performance whether you're cruising city streets or hauling heavy loads.

The diesel option truly shines if heavy towing is your priority-it delivers 36,000 lbs of maximum towing capacity, while the gas engine handles 19,090 lbs. Both offer impressive payload capacity (7,234 lbs max), so your choice depends on your typical workload and preferences.
