The 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD: A True Workhorse
Heavy-Duty Power to Perform Under Pressure
As a one-ton truck, the 3500 HD is built to handle any task, no matter how tough, as its two reliable engine options offer power and performance. The standard engine is a gasoline-powered 6.6-liter V8 with a 3.73 rear axle ratio, and it’s paired with an Allison 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. Together, they produce 401 horsepower and 464 foot-pounds of hard-working torque.
For drivers who prefer the smooth, steady torque and longevity of a diesel power plant, there’s an available 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel with a 3.42 rear axle ratio that churns out 470 horsepower and an amazing 975 foot-pounds of torque. Also paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, the diesel version of the 3500 HD also includes an engine block heater, exhaust brake, and engine run-after feature for enhanced cooling.
Hard-Working Towing and Payload Capabilities
When it comes time for hard work, the 3500 HD is built for the job at hand. With tremendous payload and towing abilities, the 3500 HD can help you move people, gear, and supplies easily. With a roomy cab that can seat up to six adults comfortably, the 3500 HD’s standard 6-foot, 9-inch cargo box has a maximum payload capacity of 7,442 pounds when properly equipped.
When more material-moving capability is needed, the 3500 HD has the towing capacity to trailer heavy loads with ease. It’s rated for a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds with the Duramax diesel, and the gasoline-powered 6.6-liter V8 can pull up to 17,000 pounds with the right equipment. Available features like an in-vehicle trailering app, hitch view camera, hitch guidance, and power-adjustable outside trailering mirrors streamline tough towing tasks.
Innovative Connectivity and Driver Assistance Features for Enhanced Engagement and Safety
Whether pulling a boat to the nearest beach or carrying people and supplies to the job site, safety is always a top concern. The 3500 HD has driver assistance and safety features that include automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, a following distance indicator, an HD rear vision camera, a lane departure warning, and front pedestrian braking.
The 3500’s cabin can serve as a mobile office thanks to its connectivity features, which include Wi-Fi hotspot capability, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 6-speaker audio system, multiple charging and data USB ports, a 3.5-inch driver information center, and the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a 7-inch color touchscreen.
