What's New
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD receives updated front-end styling inspired by the Silverado 1500, revised powertrains for even more towing capacity, new exterior colors, and a new interior design on the upper trims.
Choosing Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

Engine Choices
The Silverado is available with a gas or diesel 6.6-liter V8. The gas engine produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque and the revised turbo-diesel “Duramax” now produces 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 RPM. Both are fitted to an Allison-brand 10-speed automatic transmission.

Rear-wheel drive is standard and a four-wheel-drive system with low range is offered for $2,800 that features an automatic setting on the LTZ and is standard on the High Country.
Due to the expected varying use of the heavy-duty pick-up truck, the EPA has not rated this vehicle.
