2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD
If you are looking for a truck that can do some serious hauling, you want to get a heavy-duty truck. A full-size truck is great for occasional towing and lighter-duty towing, but heavy-duty trucks are taking towing to the next level. The Chevy Silverado HD can be found in both the 2500 and the 3500. The Silverado 3500 HD is the vehicle that offers you the most overall capability when it comes to towing and hauling. This is a great option if you are a serious hauler. Check out more about this truck and what it can offer you below.
What’s New for the 2024 HD model?
There are several updates for the 2024 model year of the Silverado 3500 HD. Some of these upgrades are exterior features to add style and capability like new headlights. In terms of performance, the 10-speed transmission can now be found with the gasoline engine and not just the turbodiesel. Also, the horsepower and torque have been improved slightly for the turbodiesel engine option. You also have more standard technology and safety features than before. Check out all that the 2024 Silverado 3500 HD has to offer you below, and reach out to us at Betley Chevrolet with any questions you may have about this vehicle.
Performance and Engine Options
When it comes to the 2024 Silverado 3500 HD, there are two engine options and a lot of performance features. We are going to dig into all of this below.
- 6.6-liter V8 engine – Your first engine option is the 6.6-liter V8 gasoline engine. This engine gives you 401-horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. For the 2024 model year, this engine is newly paired with the 10-speed transmission that was previously just found with the turbodiesel engine.
- 6.6-liter Turbodiesel V8 engine – Your other engine option is a 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 engine. This turbodiesel engine gives you 470-horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque. It is also paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission.
The maximum payload capacity that can be found in the Silverado 3500 is with the gasoline engine, and the payload capacity can go up to 7,290 pounds.
When it comes to towing capacity, the exact number depends on your engine and configuration, but when your gasoline engine is properly equipped, it can tow up to 19,090 pounds (this is with the 3500 HD Regular Cab Long Bed gas engine and gooseneck hitch). Your turbodiesel engine option has the ability to tow up to 36,000 pounds (also with the 3500 HD Regular Cab Long Bed with gooseneck hitch and max trailer package). Those towing numbers are truly tough to beat, and if you will regularly be towing very heavy-duty items, you will want the Silverado 3500 HD.
The power to tow and haul is not the ONLY thing this truck offers you; it also offers you the technology to make towing easier. This truck has trailering technology features like adaptive cruise control with trailer, an enhanced transparent trailer camera system, and trailer side blind zone alert.

Safety
Not only is the Silverado 3500 HD built with high-strength materials to be tough for you, it also has some advanced safety technology that can look out for you as well. This vehicle can be found with advanced features like lane departure warning, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and even front pedestrian braking. Check out some more of these features in greater detail below.
- Front pedestrian braking – This safety feature uses cameras and sensors to detect pedestrians in front of your vehicle. It will automatically apply the brakes if it detects a person and you have not applied the brakes.
- Rear cross traffic alert – With rear cross traffic alert, you will be given an audible alert if a vehicle is crossing behind you as you try to move in reverse. This allows you to get notified if a vehicle may be in a blind spot or hard to see so that you do not collide with them.
- Forward collision alert – This safety feature will alert you if it detects a potential font end collision. It monitors vehicles and pedestrians and alerts you if it detects a potential collision. This gives you the opportunity to apply the brakes to avoid that collision.
- Automatic emergency braking – This feature is similar to the front pedestrian braking, but it is not pedestrian-specific. This monitors for other vehicles or obstacles in your path, as well, and it can automatically apply the brakes if it detects an imminent collision.
All of these safety features look out for you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. The Silverado 3500 HD is a powerful truck, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a safe one as well!
