The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is a heavy-duty pickup truck that’s built for tough jobs, travel, and everyday errands. We’re breaking down the Silverado 3500 in this comprehensive guide.
Engine and Transmission
The standard engine on the Silverado 3500 is a 6.6L V8 gas engine that provides 401 HP at 5200 rpm with 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. The available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine yields 470 HP at 2800 rpm with 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm. This engine provides a maximum towing capacity of up to 36,000 pounds.
Both Silverado 3500 engines are paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission that’s electronically controlled with overdrive. This transmission includes Tow/Haul mode and auto-grade braking to reduce brake wear.
Exterior and Appearance
The 3500 is the largest in the Silverado lineup, with a dominating structure that commands attention everywhere it goes. The base trim comes with black bumpers, 18-inch all-terrain blackwall tires, and black beltline moldings. The 2024 model is available in striking colors, like Red Hot and Lakeshore Blue Metallic.
Pickups in the Silverado lineup have a range of convenient exterior features, including the solar-absorbing glass windshield, which minimizes the effects of solar rays entering your cabin. The Durabed truck bed is made with high-strength steel that can withstand the roughest materials, while the CornerStep rear bumper has hollow spaces and textured step pads that provide secure footing when climbing into your truck bed.
Interior and Seating
Front seating in the Silverado 3500 is a 40/20/40 split bench that comes with under-seat storage for work tools and other essential items. The rear seat is a 60/40 split-folding bench that can be folded up on both sides to increase your cabin’s cargo space. Notable interior features in the 3500 include the easy-to-clean rubberized vinyl floor coverings, power windows, a 3.5-inch driver information center, and a 6-speaker audio system.
Entertainment and Connectivity
The new Silverado 3500 has a 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth audio streaming. Use these features to pair your smartphone with the truck for hands-free phone calls, texting, and more. The Infotainment system also includes traditional AM/FM radio alongside SiriusXM satellite radio.
Passive and Active Safety
Safety features in the Silverado 3500 include driver-assistance functions like Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and Front Pedestrian Braking. The Silverado 3500 has six airbags situated throughout the cabin, including dual-stage frontal airbags and head-curtain airbags.
