If you need a heavy-duty truck built for demanding work, big trailers, and long Alberta highways, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 4×4 Crew Cab LT Dually is designed for the job. Available at Red Deer Motors, this Silverado combines the strength of a one-ton dual-rear-wheel chassis with Chevrolet’s proven 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 and a spacious Crew Cab interior.
Whether you’re towing equipment, hauling for work, pulling an RV, or simply looking for a diesel truck with tremendous capability, the Silverado 3500HD deserves a closer look.
6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8
Under the hood is Chevrolet’s 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8, producing an impressive 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque.
For 2024, the Duramax is paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, giving the Silverado a wide range of gearing for towing, highway driving, and low-speed work. The huge torque output means the truck feels right at home with a heavy trailer behind it, while the 10-speed helps keep the engine operating in an efficient power range.
Key powertrain highlights include:
- 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8
- 470 horsepower
- 975 lb-ft of torque
- Allison 10-speed automatic transmission
- Four-wheel drive
- Integrated diesel exhaust brake
Dual-Rear-Wheel Stability
The dually rear axle is one of the biggest advantages of this Silverado 3500HD. Having four rear tires increases rear-end stability and load-carrying capability, particularly when towing large fifth-wheel, gooseneck, equipment, or livestock trailers.
For Alberta drivers who regularly tow substantial loads, the wider rear stance can also provide added confidence on the highway, particularly in crosswinds and when managing a large trailer.
Actual towing and payload ratings depend on the truck’s configuration, equipment, axle ratio, and trailer setup, so always confirm the ratings for the specific vehicle before towing.
Crew Cab Comfort and Practicality
Heavy-duty capability doesn’t mean giving up interior space. The Crew Cab provides generous room for both front and rear passengers, making this Silverado practical for work crews, family trips, and long days on the road.
The LT trim also strikes a great balance between work-truck durability and everyday comfort, with a more refined interior and useful technology while maintaining the rugged nature buyers expect from a Silverado HD.
Depending on equipment, features may include Chevrolet infotainment technology, smartphone connectivity, steering-wheel controls, power accessories, trailer-focused technology, and driver-assistance systems.
