2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Details
Pushing the boundaries ever further in the one-ton heavy-duty pickup truck space, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD brings an exciting array of new features to the table for the model year. The latest entry in the heavy-duty segment goes all in on several popular updates that have resonated well with customers shopping for a full-size pickup, such as the addition of new enthusiast trims, updated standard features, and improved technology. Many of these features help make the Silverado 3500 HD more capable than ever before.
New for 2024 is a complete performance overhaul for the Duramax turbo-diesel, enabling the Silverado 3500 HD to output more horsepower and torque than any previous model year of the Silverado 3500 HD. Additionally, the performance is better stabilized thanks to the Allison ten-speed automatic transmission being standard on both the gas-powered V8 and the Duramax turbo-diesel V8. These features are accompanied by all-new trailering updates to make trailering more efficient and streamlined. This includes four all-new technologies in the form of GCW trailer alerts, an enhanced transparent trailer camera, a side blind zone alert for the trailer, and adaptive cruise control with support for the trailer.
The new features don't end there. The 2024 3500 HD also features a completely overhauled interior for every trim at the LT level and above. That includes improved touchscreen support, an all-new configurable digital driver information display, enhanced infotainment access, and overall more comfort for passengers. Additionally, the trim line-up for the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD has expanded with two exciting new additions. The Work Truck, Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country all return for 2024, but they are joined by the all-new ZR2 off-road model, along with the High Country Midnight Edition making its appearance for the 3500 HD for the very first time.

Performance
Two Incredibly Powerful Engines
In order for the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD to accomplish its feats in trailering and hauling, it needs the unbridled power from a heavy-duty engine capable of feeding it the torque that enables the chassis to haul massive loads. Those capabilities are enabled by two different power plants available for the 2024 Silverado 3500 HD. Those two power plants include the 6.6-liter gas-powered V8 and a 6.6-liter Duramax turbocharged V8 diesel engine. Both engines offer amazing performance that gives the one-ton heavy-duty pickup truck its ability to perform as expected in its work-site tasks, as well as towing, trailering, and plowing as per your trucking needs.
The 6.6-liter gas-powered V8 delivers 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, and it comes with the ten-speed Allison automatic transmission. The Duramax V8 is also paired with the ten-speed Allison automatic transmission and has been upgraded for the 2024 model year outing, providing 25% more low-end torque. The engineering buff was done with the intent of providing the 3500 HD with more power for climbing grades and when trailering up steep hills. The Duramax V8 also now makes 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque.
The 2024 Silverado 3500 HD is available in three different cab formats, two bed formats, and multiple drivetrain configurations. When it comes to cabs, you can get the Silverado 3500 HD in a Regular Cab, a Double Cab, or a Crew Cab, and it's available as either a Standard Bed or as a Long Bed. When it comes to the drivetrain, the Silverado 3500 HD can be configured in either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive format, and you can also have the truck paired with single rear wheels or dual-rear-wheel format, giving you more options for maximizing the power and performance capabilities of the Silverado 3500 HD.
Capabilities
Towing? Hauling? This Truck Can Handle the Hard Work
Heavy-duty pickup trucks are used mainly for their capabilities, and the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is capable in spades. This is all thanks to its amazing trailering and towing capabilities, which tops out at up to 36,000 lbs when properly equipped and configured. This gives you a lot of possibilities when it comes to towing and trailering with the Silverado 3500 HD, and it's one of the reasons so many people look to it as one of the leading trucks in the one-ton segment.
In addition to the max trailering, you can also expect a max payload capacity of up to 7,290 lbs. That means you can carry multiple tons in the back of the Silverado 3500 HD's bed box options, with up to 69.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume in the standard bed or up to 83.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume in the long bed. This makes the 3500 HD an excellent choice for extremely heavy-duty tasks and moving large cargo around that may be too big for a light-duty pickup truck but too small for a medium-duty truck. You also get standard tow hooks on the front of the Silverado 3500 HD in case you need to tow another vehicle, equipment, or get the truck up an extremely steep incline.
Improved Tech to Make Things Easier
In addition to this, the trailering equipment has all been improved for the 2024 model year. This includes the enhanced transparent trailer, allowing you to see through the trailer with transparent imagery in the camera feedback when you have a fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer hitched up. The trailer side blind zone alert is also designed to extend the Chevy safety assist to blind zone areas of the trailer. There is also the gross combined weight alert, which informs drivers when the trailer weight exceeds the gross combined weight rating.
Additionally, there is the Multi-Flex Tailgate, which gives truck drivers six different available tailgate functions. That includes the ability to make use of the inner tailgate as an upper and lower load-stop or use the elevated tailgate as a work surface. You can also use the inner gate as a tailgate step to easily get into the bed or to open up the inner gate if you have cargo that extends outside of the bed box. It adds to the functionality and capabilities of the 3500 HD in a big way, especially for those who do a lot of hauling.
Convenience
This Truck Goes Above and Beyond Just Being Capable
Not every one-ton heavy-duty pickup truck needs to be work-truck oriented only. The 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD also has a lot of comfort and convenience features to make it more than just a work truck. In fact, with some of the trims, you have the availability of leather upholstered seating, embroidered head restraints, and heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats. These features are complimented by plenty of interior storage and cargo compartments that have been improved for the 2024 model year, as well as an available seven-speaker Bose premium surround sound system. This joins the all-new climate vents and climate controls for those in the rear seats, as well as more cupholder space and more hidden storage compartments.
If you really want to take the luxury elements to the next level, the High Country Midnight Edition comes with lots of style. On the exterior, you have a black paint job with black bowtie badging, a black grille, black 20-inch high gloss wheels or available 22-inch wheels, and even black door handles. There is also an impressive suite of technology spread across the entire trim line-up that is bound to entice anyone looking for a complete trucking experience.
Powered By Exciting Tech
The entire tech suite is powered by the Google Built-In infrastructure, which includes access to the Google Assistant for touchscreen or voice-activated commands, including access to Google Maps, navigation, media activation, text messaging, and phone calls. You can also make use of the all-new, improved 13.4-inch HD touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, along with the new and improved 13.2-inch HD digital driver display for telemetry and vehicle health.
Additionally, there are plenty of safety features that come standard for the 3500 HD. From the Teen Driver mode to the built-in airbags, you have a wide assortment of safety features to keep you safe during your travels. There is front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, as well as lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking when it comes to active assists. Even as a purpose-built workhorse, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD still has plenty of amazing comfort and convenience features to make it a fun ride as well.
