Silverado 3500HD Trim Levels
When you visit a dealer like the Chevrolet dealership in Hailey, you can get the Silverado 3500HD in one of four trim levels: Work Truck, LT, LTZ and High Country. Buyers can choose from three cab styles, two bed lengths and two engines. The 3500HD can be outfitted with dual rear wheels and four-wheel drive. All these choices mean you can configure this pickup for every purpose, from a bare-bones workhorse to a comfortable daily driver. We’ll examine the different trim levels and see what each one offers.

Silverado 3500HD Work Truck
The base 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Work Truck is powered by a standard 6.6-liter V8 engine that produces 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. This engine is standard across the lineup. Buyers looking for the ultimate boost in power can opt for the available 6.0-liter diesel V8. This engine generates 445 hp and 910 lb-ft. Both engines are connected to a new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission.
