The 2023 Silverado 3500 comes standard with a 401-horsepower 6.6L gas V8 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The available 445-horsepower 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 produces an immense 910 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission.
Rear-wheel drive comes standard, while 4×4 is available for WT, LT, and LTZ trims. High Country comes standard with four-wheel drive for enhanced traction and exceptional towing control.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The Silverado 3500 can tow up to 17,200 pounds with the gas engine or an incredible 36,000 pounds with the optional diesel when using a gooseneck hitch.
