What Is the Towing Capacity of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD?

The Diesel-Powered Towing Capacity

The available Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine provides every Silverado HD with over 30,000 pounds of towing capacity. For the most muscle available, you’ll want to choose the entry-level WT trim with 2WD, the regular cab, and the long bed. You’ll also want to add the available Max Trailering package and gooseneck hitch. Ultimately, this gives you a Silverado 3500 HD with a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds.

Chevy’s available turbo-diesel engine is a real powerhouse all around. You’ll love having 470 horsepower and a maximum of 975 lb.-ft. of torque at your command. The Allison 10-speed automatic transmission does an exceptional job of smoothly managing the engine’s power and delivering a comfortable ride.

The Gas-Powered Towing Capacity

The standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine has a lower towing capacity while still being a powerhouse in its own right. This V8 engine comes with a maximum available towing capacity of 19,090 pounds. This is enough towing capacity for many worksites, family trips, and big outdoor adventures.

When equipped with the standard engine, the Silverado 3500 HD delivers 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque. Chevy also paired the standard V8 with a 10-speed automatic transmission that responds quickly and provides drivers with a fun experience behind the wheel.

The Standard Trailering Package

Every Silverado 3500 HD comes equipped with a trailer hitch and trailering hitch platform as part of the standard Trailering package. This package also comes with a seven-wire electrical harness and a seven-pin sealed connector. These tools make it easy to connect your trailer’s lights and brakes.

The Available Max Trailering Package

There is an available Max Trailering package that gives your heavy-duty truck more towing functionality with additions that include a 12-inch rear axle, 3500 HD shock package, and 5th wheel prep provisions. This package also adds bed-stamped holes with caps installed.

The Advanced Trailering Technology

Chevy offers drivers peace of mind with the available auxiliary trailer camera. This feature will provide you with additional internal screen views. Depending on where the camera is installed, you can have features like transparent trailer view, inside trailer view, or rear trailer view.

Drivers with serious towing needs love the Silverado 3500 HD. If you’re looking for an upgrade, you’ll want to experience this heavy-duty truck during a test drive. Contact Blue Ribbon Chevrolet in Sallisaw, OK to learn more.
