How big is the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD’s fuel tank?
To transport heavy-duty weight, the Chevy Silverado also needs to transport plenty of fuel, which is why it’s equipped with a 36-gallon fuel tank. Fill her up, and you’ll have plenty of fuel to transport max loads.
Which 2024 Chevy Silverado HD trim model should I choose?
The best 2024 Silverado HD for you is the one that best suits your needs (and your budget). choose from six trim models — the WT, Custom, LT, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country — which range from basic to sublimely luxurious.
The entry-level WT is handsomely equipped with tech features, including wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, and forward collision warning. It’s roomy, but comfort features are basic, with manual air conditioning, vinyl seating, and vinyl flooring.
For cloth seating and carpeted flooring, move up to the Custom. This truck also enhances your drive, with all-terrain tires and power-adjustable trailering mirrors.
The LT gives you plenty of truck at a reasonable price. In addition to the aforementioned features, it adds the EZ Lift tailgate, a digital gauge cluster, and a bigger, 13.4-inch touchscreen. Its infotainment system also includes integrated Google services and enhanced voice controls.
At the LTZ level, these heavy-duty trucks start to get pretty luxurious. Enhance your comfort with a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and power-adjustable heated front seats with driver memory settings.
To combine heavy-duty power with off-roading, you’ll want the ZR2. This truck comes standard with four-wheel drive (with a two-speed transfer case), mud-terrain tires, an electronic locking rear differential, and a 1.5-inch suspension lift. These Silverado HD trucks are also pretty luxurious, with a seven-speaker Bose sound system, wireless smartphone charger, heated and ventilated front seats, and more.
For drivers who want both maximum power and top-of-the-line luxury, there’s the High Country. It’s equipped with the ZR2’s comfort and tech upgrades, though it doesn’t include the ZR2’s trail-ready performance gear. The High Country is extra handsome, too, thanks to its flashy chrome exterior trim, LED cargo bed lighting, and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
