If you are looking for a Chevy Silverado 3500HD for sale near me, we have compiled these answers to help you understand exactly what the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD lineup can do.

What is the maximum towing capacity?

What engines are available?

 

The lineup offers two massive 6.6-liter engines. The standard 6.6L Gas V8 produces 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque. The available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 delivers 470 horsepower and an incredible 975 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines pair exclusively with the heavy-duty Allison 10-speed automatic transmission.

 

 

What is the maximum payload capacity?

 

The Silverado 2500HD offers a maximum payload capacity of up to 3,689 lbs. The larger 3500HD, when configured with dual rear wheels and a regular cab, can carry an astonishing maximum payload of up to 7,442 lbs.

 

 

What is the Durabed?

 

The Durabed is Chevrolet's high-strength steel cargo box. It offers a massive 83.5 cubic feet of cargo volume on long-bed models and features 12 standard tie-downs to secure your load safely.

On LT trims and higher, a massive 13.4-inch diagonal advanced color touchscreen comes standard. It features Google built-in compatibility and seamless wireless integration for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

 

 

What is the ZR2 trim?

 

The ZR2 is the ultimate off-road version of the Silverado HD. It features Multimatic DSSV dampers, 35-inch mud-terrain tires, a 1.5-inch factory lift, aluminum skid plates, and a rear electronic locking differential to conquer extreme job sites.

The Silverado HD makes towing safer with up to 14 available camera views, including the Transparent Trailer View. You can also equip the truck with Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering, which actively accounts for the extra braking distance of a heavy load.
