A Pickup with Considerable Power and Performance Chops
Every Silverado HD starts with a gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 producing 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. There's also an available 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8, which steps things up with 470 horsepower and a whopping 975 lb-ft of torque. That extra muscle more than doubles the gas engine’s max tow rating.
Both engines mate with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or four-wheel drive. You also have the choice of a single or dual rear-wheel axle, depending on how much towing and hauling capability you need.
Gas-powered models can tow up to 17,400 pounds, while the diesel maxes out at a staggering 36,000 pounds. Payload is equally impressive: the Silverado 3500HD in regular cab, dual rear-wheel form can haul up to 7,442 pounds in the bed. Few on the market can beat those numbers!
The Silverado HD lineup runs from basic work trucks to crew-cab models with genuine everyday comfort. All trims feature a tall, straightforward dashboard with easy-to-use controls. Crew cab models with the short box now ride on a longer wheelbase than before, giving passengers in the back more legroom along with their own climate vents and controls.
The Silverado offers plenty of upscale touches. Available features include heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and steering wheel, and a head-up display. Storage is a strong point too, thanks to a massive center console bin, optional compartments under the back seat, and clever storage built into the seatbacks.
What is included in the Silverado HD's Infotainment Tech?
Chevy outfits every Silverado HD with a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen running its Google-based infotainment system. It features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice controls, and the ability to save trailer profiles for maintenance tracking. A phone app can also monitor and control certain trailer functions.
Higher trims—LT, LTZ, Trail Boss, High Country, and ZR2—get a 13.4-inch touchscreen along with a wireless smartphone charging pad. Physical knobs for volume and tuning remain, which makes the system easier to use when you’re on the move.
Will You Choose the Silverado HD?
With powertrains that can tow just about anything, payload capacity that rivals commercial rigs, and enough comfort and tech to make life on the road easier, it stays exactly where heavy-duty truck buyers expect it to be: at the top of the capability game.
