The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is built for serious hauling and work-site performance. It delivers up to 36,000 lbs of maximum towing capacity with the DURAMAX 6.6L turbo-diesel V8, which produces 470 horsepower and an impressive 975 lb-ft of torque. You can also choose a standard 6.6L V8 gas engine with 401 horsepower for solid performance in most conditions.

Key strengths include the segment-first Advanced Trailering System, available Multi-Flex Tailgate with six functions, and Durabed with 12 standard tie-downs. Safety tech is comprehensive: Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, available Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and eight cameras with up to 15 camera views. The 2024 model year brings a redesigned front end, new colors, and upgraded infotainment with a 13.4-inch display on select trims.
