Our most powerful heavy-duty ever. Work or play, sometimes the day just calls for a heavy-duty pickup that backs you up. One with an available Duramax Diesel that generates more horsepower and torque than any other Chevrolet full-size pickup. One with bigger towing numbers. One with a sturdier frame to handle more payload and deliver an improved ride over our previous HD. And to top it off, one with tailoring features that help keep it all under control. Sounds like you need Silverado 3500HD.

Stronger
For heavy-duty trucks, torque is king. And the legendary, available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine wears the crown:
• More maximum hp and torque than any other Chevy full-size pickup - 397 horses and 765 lb.-ft. of torque 21,700 lbs. of maximum towing.
• More than 11% improvement in highway fuel economy(7) over the previous generation.
• Our standard workhorse, the Vortec 6.0L V8 gas engine, generates 360 hp and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.

With nearly a decade on the job, the available, legendary heavy-duty Allison® six-speed transmission harnesses the power of the available Duramax:
• A stronger torque converter.
• Larger diameter output shaft.
• It's the same make used on many medium-duty applications.

The reliable available Duramax Diesel has improved torque, horsepower and towing numbers as well as highway fuel economy that was improved by more than 11% over the previous generation. With a 36-gallon tank (approx.), the Duramax offers up to 680 highway miles on a single tank, and it's quieter than ever before.

The available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel can run on B20 biodiesel. B20 is composed of 20% biodiesel mixed with regular diesel. B20 is produced using domestic, renewable resources. Duramax runs cleaner, with a 60% reduction in NOx emissions from our previous model.

Sturdier
Our all-new chassis features a high-strength, fully boxed steel frame that's five times torsionally stiffer than before and lets Silverado 3500HD shoulder up to 6,635 lbs. of payload. The suspension got a complete redesign with bigger, stronger components engineered to handle increased loads and improve ride quality over the previous generation.

The fully boxed frame and all-new front and rear suspensions are the biggest reasons for the huge increases in Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings:
• Massive components include three-inch-wide rear leaf springs and precision-forged upper control arms.
• The new independent front suspension allows each front wheel to react independently to rough terrain, helping keep each wheel in a vertical position and more firmly planted on the road.
• To better manage larger capacities, the steering knuckle is taller and 66% heavier than before.
• The rear suspension includes 20% wider leaf springs with an asymmetric design that reduces wheel hop on acceleration and better handles increased payloads.

6,000-lb. Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (FGAWR). The front suspension has been upgraded with huge precision-forged upper control arms and torsion bars along with the largest steering gear we've ever used on a heavy-duty pickup, which supports up to a 6,000-lb. FGAWR. So if you went outside of Las Vegas this could be very helpful. For example, every HD 4x4 model can easily accommodate a snow plow with the available Snow Plow Prep Package. And unlike Ford or Ram, Silverado HD incorporates torsion bars that allow an owner to easily adjust the front of the vehicle back to its normal ride height, even with the weight of a plow attached.

More Secure
Silverado 3500HD makes driving heavy trucks easy with an available heavy-duty Allison® transmission and other components that give you confidence when hauling a heavy load:
• New exhaust brake system.

• StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System (SRW only)

• Trailer Sway Control (SRW only)

• Hill Start Assist (SRW only)

• Auto grade braking.

• Bigger, stronger brakes with Intelligent Brake Assist

• Available integrated trailer brake controller

• Trailer Sway Control

From The Driver Seat
This is one place heavy-duty drivers will feel right at home:
• Heated, leather-appointed front bucket seats with dual-density foam on LTZ.
• Driver Information Center displays engine hours, fuel range, fuel used, transmission temperature and more.
• Dual glove boxes (WT and LT) provide nearly 9 liters of combined cargo space.
• Cavernous storage areas for front-seat passenger, including lockable underseat storage space on LT.
• Room for up to three in Regular Cab and up to six in Extended Cab and Crew Cab.

Technology That Performs Too
• OnStar
Protected and Connected with OnStar®. Experience the safe, simple way to stay connected on the road. OnStar with the Directions & Connections® Plan is now standard on most models for six months.

• Navigation Radio
An available navigation system includes a touch-screen display with the ability to play a CD and use the navigation DVD simultaneously. Also featured is voice recognition, with the ability to respond to up to 26 commands. Available on LT, XFE and LTZ.

• XM NavTraffic
XM NavTraffic, with three trial months, enhances the vehicle's navigation system to show live traffic updates. Available on LT, XFE, and LTZ models. Learn more about XM NavTraffic.

• Bluetooth
Available Bluetooth® wireless technology for select phones lets you make, answer and end calls without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

• USB port
To further customize your music while you drive, plug your iPod® or even a music-loaded flash drive directly into an available USB port. Then it's easy to manage your playlists through the vehicle's audio controls. It even charges your iPod for you.

• Rearview Camera System
The available rearview camera system is designed to allow the driver to use the rearview mirror (or touch-screen navigation radio screen, if equipped) to see certain stationary obstacles located behind the vehicle while traveling in Reverse at low speeds.

Better In Every Way That Matters
• Diesel hp and torque improved from 365/660 to 397/765.
• Maximum diesel towing(4,6) improved from 16,500 to 21,700 lbs.
• Maximum gas payload(5) improved from 5,255 to 6,635 lbs.
• High-strength fully boxed steel frame is five times torsionally stiffer.
• Maximum GVWR increased up to 14% on some models.
• Maximum Front Gross Axle Weight Rating improved from 4,800 to 6,000 lbs.
• Steering knuckle taller and 66% heavier.
• Rear leaf springs 20% wider.
• Diesel highway fuel economy improved by 11%.
