The Silverado nameplate has been a dominant force within the truck game since it was first introduced all the way back in 1998. With more than a quarter century of experience now under its belt, it remains one of the most popular models on the market, whether you’re talking about the standard Silverado 1500, or the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD. This year, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD models were updated with new features and tech, so we thought we’d go through some of those highlights as well as some of its technical specs. Read on to learn more about this incredible selection of heavy-duty pickup trucks.
“We’ve designed the Silverado HD to be our customers’ favored choice for true truck capability. The enhancements to the 2024 model build on its core strengths to provide an even stronger balance of the design, strength and confidence that makes tackling the hard jobs, including trailering, easier and more convenient than ever.”
