Five Favorite Features of the 2026 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD

Take on heavy-duty work with premium style and convenience with the 2026 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD. This high-powered truck boasts a cargo volume of 69.5 cubic feet and a six-passenger seating capacity. Explore the top features of this year’s most powerful HD truck. 

1. High-Powered Motor

The 3500 HD has a standard 6.6-liter V8 gas motor and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine has a maximum output of 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. The automatic transmission has a selectable Tow/Haul driving mode to alter the output of the engine to reduce shift cycling when a trailer is hitched. The transmission also has auto-grade braking technology that automatically downshifts the transmission when driving downhill. 

Drivers can enjoy high-powered performance by opting for a 6.6L turbocharged V8 engine, which has an output of 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. When you opt for this engine, you get the benefit of additional mechanical features, such as an engine block heater, an exhaust brake, and a winter grille cover. 

2. Trailering Package

This pickup comes with the Trailering package, which equips the truck with a trailer hitch and a trailer hitch platform. If you want to sync your hitched trailer with your truck’s taillights, you can use the sen-wire electrical harness and seven-pin sealed connector. These advanced accessories also sync trailer braking power with the truck’s brakes for enhanced road safety. 

3. Durabed Cargo Bed

The 3500 HD comes with Chevy’s signature Durabed. This high-strength steel cargo bed comes with 12 cargo tie-downs to lock items in place so you can drive confidently with plywood, small furniture, or work equipment in the back. A CornerStep rear bumper gives you a boost to access the cargo bed without folding the liftgate down. 

4. In-Cabin Cargo Flexibility

It’s easy to keep the truck cabin organized with a 40/20/40 split-folding front bench seat. Folding down the middle seat reveals built-in cupholders and an armrest so front-row riders can be comfortable. The front bench seat has under-seat storage to hold tools, a roadside kit, or other items. 

5. OnStar Basics Technology

This truck is also equipped with OnStar Basics. This suite of connected driver services enables a built-in voice assistant to adjust cabin settings while you’re on the go, as well as remote vehicle commands for convenience and security that can be managed through your smartphone. OnStar Basics gives you access to real-time navigation and traffic updates as well. 

The Silverado 3500 HD is a high-powered truck that doesn’t skimp on convenience features for modern drivers. Take a test drive at Champion Chevrolet in Reno, NV today.
