Premium interior seating and streamlining tech show off a thoughtfully designed cabin that works well for any driver who wants only the best the bowtie brand offers.

An Array of Trim and Capability Options

The 2024 Silverado 3500 HD offers drivers many options to ensure they get the perfect truck. From various trim choices ranging from the entry-level WT trim to the top-of-the-line High Country, the 3500 keeps things flexible. If you’re not sure which trim you want, think about your regular everyday drive. The entry-level WT is perfect if you want to keep it down to the essentials, while the LT trim falls right in the middle and offers a balanced truck with plenty of convenience features like a power lock and release EZ Lift tailgate plus Keyless Open and Start. The top trim for 2024 is the High Country which combines all the power and all the luxury you could ask for. Picture leather heated seating, a Bed View Camera option, open-pore wood trim, plus all the power that Chevy has to offer.

If that’s not enough, there’s also the debut of the popular off-roading ZR2 for the HD lineup for the first time. If you like to play in the dirt, make sure to check out this off-road-ready trim. The 3500 HD will also be offered in rear-wheel drive, allowing the 3500 HD to reach its ultimate towing potential of 36,000 lbs! If that’s not enough, the 2024 3500 HD will come standard with Chevy’s noteworthy Allison 10-speed automatic transmission plus the standard 6.6L V8 gas engine. This engine delivers an improved gross combined weight rating, taking the max from 24,000 to 26,000 lbs.

But as you know, there’s always room to upgrade. So if you call for more power, the 3500 HD will answer. Check out the available Duramax turbo-diesel engine option that will offer you an impressive 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. The 2024 HD lineup includes multiple editions that give your truck the flexibility to meet your daily challenges. Appearance packages include the Z71 Sport Edition, Z71 Chrome Sport Edition, Midnight Special Edition, and even an Alaskan Snow Plow Special Edition for winter. You wanted more; you got it! The 3500 HD for the upcoming year is built for you. This heavy-duty truck is tough but keeps things versatile, allowing drivers to upgrade or add on features to make their trucks truly perfect for them.

Equipped With Innovative Trailering Technology

Whether you’re hauling around your family, extra gear, a trailer, or all three, the 3500 HD is more than capable thanks to advanced towing and hauling capabilities that pair well with the truck’s advanced technology. It’s now easier than ever to load up the tribe and get away for a weekend. The HD offers up to 14 camera views to streamline the trailering process.

This also includes features like HD Surround Vision and Bed View. Chevy went to great lengths to customize the camera technology for their HD trucks to increase the safety and ease of towing and hauling with their 2024 models. The 3500’s Trailer Information Label makes it easy for drivers to know the exact limits of their truck, including its max payload and trailer ratings, and more. Whether you’re backing up or on the road, it’s easy to see exactly what is happening with your cargo.

These enhanced and new features for 2024 include Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer, which is a brand-new system for the 3500 HD. If your truck is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, this system accounts for that so that the braking distance is increased for added safety while towing. The Enhanced Transparent Trailer feature expands the popular Transparent Trailer system that pairs with fifth wheel gooseneck trailers. This helps to element blindspots by allowing the driver to “see through” the image on their infotainment system. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert increases the view of your blind spots to ensure you know exactly where traffic is and what’s happening around you. Lastly, GCW Alert alerts drivers if they exceed their truck’s gross combined weight rating.

The intuitive technology makes hitting the road for work or play less stressful for drivers and passengers. The 3500 HD’s tech makes accessing your truck’s best features simple, while advanced suites of cameras and updated tech take the guesswork out of towing and hauling your largest or smallest loads.

The enlarged 13.4-inch diagonal Infotainment Display is balanced out with a 12.3-inch diagonal configurable Driver Information Center.
