Chevy Silverado 3500HD

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 full-size pickup. One with bigger towing numbers than Ford F-350 or Dodge. 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 trailering features that help keep it all under control. The powerful 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD is available at Sid Dillon Crete, our top Nebraska Chevrolet dealer.

Powertrains and Performance

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 competitor – 397 horses and 765 lb.-ft. of torque – the most powerful heavy-duty ever made
• 21,700 lbs. of maximum towing – more than Ford or Ram
• More than 11% improvement in highway fuel economy over the previous generation

Our standard workhorse, the Vortec 6.0L V8 gas engine, generates 360 hp and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.

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 – more than Ford F-350 or Ram 3500.

The suspension got a complete redesign with bigger, stronger components engineered to handle increased loads and improve ride quality over the previous generation.

Safety

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

New exhaust brake system included with the available Duramax Diesel, uses the technology of a variable vane geometry turbo to create back pressure to slow the vehicle down. That means reduced brake fade, prolonged brake life and more confidence on steep grades.

Auto grade braking automatically downshifts the transmission to help slow the truck when you apply the brakes while descending long, steep grades.

Interior Design and Features

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
