A new pickup truck bought to operate in Thornhill, North York, Markham, Richmond Hill, or anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area can face an almost unlimited variety of circumstances to handle and applications to fulfill. But if you want a heavy-duty pickup truck that can cope with anything you throw at it while looking great at the same time, look no further than the sensational 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD.
While rugged durability and immense capability are essential attributes for any model looking to make an impression in the heavy-duty pickup truck segment, it will take more than that to convince hard-working shoppers to part with their money. While you can take the immense towing and hauling capability of the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD for granted, there’s plenty more to love about the new Chevy.
For a start, the exterior styling is still as rugged as you’d want for a truck of this type. However, the front fascia has a sleeker, toned-down look that will appeal to a broader audience than ever. The interior is also more spacious and more luxurious than previous incarnations, and the high-tech nature of the new Silverado HD gets overtly illustrated by massive screens that dominate the handsome dash.
Of course, you only consider buying a Silverado 2500 HD or 3500 HD if you want or need more power than a half-ton Silverado can deliver. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD is immensely capable, and the 3500 HD delivers almost ridiculous levels of towing and hauling capability when properly configured. Even so, both models feature the same standard and available engines.
The standard powerplant for both models is a 6.6-litre gasoline V-8 that develops 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque, which gets to the rear or all four wheels through an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. The gas engine offers a maximum towing capacity of 8,686 kg (19,150 pounds), but plenty more power is available if you need it. That comes courtesy of the optional 6.6-litre V-8 Duramax turbodiesel, which brings a massive 470 horsepower and 975 lb.-ft. of torque to the party. With the correct configuration, a 3500 HD equipped with the diesel powerplant can tow up to 16,329 kg (36,000 pounds).
The exceptional capability of the Silverado HD has never been as accessible as it is with the 2024 Silverado HD, thanks to a raft of the very latest technology. Only some people are as expert at towing as they’d like, but the 2024 Silverado HD can make a novice feel like an expert with many high-tech features that make trailering easier than you ever thought possible. The 2024 Silverado HD is available with up to 14 camera views to make hitching up, backing up, or just maneuvering the road around you more manageable than you ever thought possible.
Transparent Trailer View is a new feature for the 2024 model year to assist with conventional and fifth-wheel/gooseneck trailering, and other smart trailering tech is available such as the newly available Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering. Impressive digital displays are employed for operating the many features of the new Silverado HD. The infotainment system is available with a massive 13.4-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital Driver Information Centre replaces traditional analogue gauges.
There’s so much to discover about the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD that it’s hard to know where to start. Whatever you need a full-size, heavy-duty pickup to do, the mighty Chevy has it covered. There’s even a new ZR2 version this time for those needing additional off-road capability.
