One-ton truck enthusiasts love the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD because it’s built to get any job done, with task-tackling power and capabilities. The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD offers two powerful engine options, incredible towing and payload capacities, and modern technology that improves the driving experience.
Two Mighty Powertrain Options
The Silverado 3500 HD has two available powertrains that deliver dependable power for tackling the toughest tasks. The standard engine is a gasoline-powered 6.6-liter V8 with a 3.73 rear axle ratio and capless fuel fill. It’s matched with an Allison 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive, tow/haul mode, and auto grade braking. Together, they deliver 401 horsepower and 464 foot-pounds of torque to a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain.
There’s also an optional 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel powerplant with a 3.42 rear axle ratio, engine block heater, exhaust brake, winter grille cover, and engine run after feature for improved cooling. The Duramax engine is also paired with the Allison 10-speed transmission, and it produces 470 horsepower and an amazing 975 foot-pounds of hard-working torque.
Heavy-Duty Payload and Towing Ability
One-ton truck drivers count on their pickups for heavy-duty assignments, and the Silverado 3500 HD can move almost any payload. The standard 6.8-foot cargo box offers 69.5 cubic feet of payload volume, and there’s an optional 8.1-foot bed for drivers who want even more onboard capacity. The 3500 HD has a maximum payload capacity of 7,442 pounds when properly equipped.
For payloads that outweigh the Silverado 3500 HD’s onboard payload capacity, it has impressive towing power to handle bigger loads. The gasoline-powered 3500 HD can pull a maximum of 17,400 pounds with the proper equipment selections, while the Duramax-equipped 3500 HD can pull up to 36,000 pounds. With available features like an integrated trailer brake controller, an in-vehicle trailering app, and a hitch view camera, towing is simple.
Modern Safety and Connectivity Technology
The advanced technology included in the Silverado 3500 HD keeps its occupants safe and connected wherever the job takes them. The standard safety features in the 3500 HD include the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, an HD rear vision camera, a following distance indicator, lane departure warning, six airbags, and front pedestrian braking.
The infotainment and connectivity features that come standard in the 3500 HD include a 3.5-inch driver information center, a 6-speaker audio system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with a 7-inch color touchscreen and Google integration, and Bluetooth streaming capability.
