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<\/strong> is designed for the job. Available at Red Deer Motors<\/strong>, this Silverado combines the strength of a one-ton dual-rear-wheel chassis with Chevrolet\u2019s proven 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8<\/strong> and a spacious Crew Cab interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood is Chevrolet\u2019s 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8<\/strong>, producing an impressive 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2024, the Duramax is paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key powertrain highlights include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8<\/li>
  • 470 horsepower<\/li>
  • 975 lb-ft of torque<\/li>
  • Allison 10-speed automatic transmission<\/li>
  • Four-wheel drive<\/li>
  • Integrated diesel exhaust brake<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Dual-Rear-Wheel Stability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The dually rear axle<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Crew Cab Comfort and Practicality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Heavy-duty capability doesn\u2019t mean giving up interior space. The Crew Cab<\/strong> provides generous room for both front and rear passengers, making this Silverado practical for work crews, family trips, and long days on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The LT trim<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on equipment, features may include Chevrolet infotainment technology, smartphone connectivity, steering-wheel controls, power accessories, trailer-focused technology, and driver-assistance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
