Horsepower
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD stands as a purpose-built workhorse designed for operators who demand maximum capability from their equipment.
Available in both single rear wheel and dual rear wheel configurations, this heavy-duty truck addresses the needs of commercial fleets, agricultural operations, and recreational towers throughout the Prairies. With conventional towing reaching up to 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs) and fifth-wheel/gooseneck capacity extending to 16,329 kg (36,000 lbs) on properly equipped models, the 3500HD delivers the hauling strength required for serious work applications. Saskatoon Motor Products Chevrolet serves as your local source for exploring how this capable truck can support your operations across Saskatchewan.
Powertrain
Duramax 6.6L turbodiesel V-8 engine
The available Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V-8 generates 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque, delivering the low-end pulling force essential for sustained heavy towing. Torque production at lower engine speeds has been enhanced for improved response when climbing grades or accelerating with loaded trailers.
Efficient Combustion & Increased Low-End Torque
The standard 6.6L V-8 gasoline engine produces 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, channeled through the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. This pairing suits operators whose work involves varied duty cycles and those who prefer gasoline fueling convenience.
Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
The 10-speed configuration maintains engine speed closer to peak power during acceleration and provides effective grade braking control when descending loaded—a practical benefit on Saskatchewan’s rolling terrain and valley approaches.
Weight Rating & Driving Experience
Dual rear wheel 3500HD models equipped with the Duramax and Max Towing package achieve the lineup’s highest ratings, reaching 16,329 kg (36,000 lbs) for fifth-wheel/gooseneck applications—capacity that serves commercial haulers, oilfield support operations, and large recreational trailer owners.
Technology
Google built-in compatibility enables voice-activated access to navigation, media, contacts, and climate adjustments through the infotainment system. The in-vehicle Trailering App consolidates trailer information and provides access to up to 14 camera views, including HD Surround Vision and Bed View, simplifying hitching procedures and parking maneuvers. Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer technology accounts for increased drag and longer braking distances when towing, reducing driver fatigue during those long hauls between Saskatoon and distant delivery points.
Safety and driver assistance systems include Front Pedestrian Detection and Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning. Enhanced Transparent Trailer technology extends visibility capabilities to fifth-wheel and gooseneck configurations, while Extended Side Blind Zone Alert broadens monitoring coverage when towing. The GCW Alert system notifies drivers if combined vehicle and trailer weight approaches the Gross Combined Weight Rating limit, helping operators maintain safe load management.
Exterior
The 3500HD projects a substantial road presence through its bold front fascia featuring C-shaped LED graphic lamps that frame the grille. LTZ and High Country variants receive dual-projector headlights with animated welcome and farewell lighting sequences. Standard tow hooks and prominent “CHEVROLET” lettering across the hood scoop reinforce the truck’s work-ready character. The sculpted bodylines maintain a purposeful aesthetic that communicates capability without excess ornamentation, well-suited for job sites from Saskatoon to remote Saskatchewan worksites.
Dimensional options span Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab body styles paired with standard or long bed configurations. The Durabed cargo box maximizes usable space with up to 83.5 cubic feet of capacity in long bed form. Features such as the CornerStep rear bumper and BedSteps provide practical access points for loading and unloading. An available six-position Multi-Flex tailgate, power tailgate operation, and 120-volt power outlet extend functionality for contractors and tradespeople who rely on their truck beds as mobile work platforms.
Interior
LT, LTZ, and High Country trims feature an instrument panel arrangement centered on a 13.4-inch-diagonal infotainment display paired with a 12.3-inch-diagonal configurable driver information centre. Controls angle toward the driver, creating a focused workspace that keeps essential functions within easy reach. The flow-under console design preserves the open feel of bench seating while providing storage organization typically associated with full console layouts. A redesigned wireless charging area reduces cord clutter during long days on the road.
Crew Cab models offer 1,102 mm (43.4 inches) of rear legroom, providing genuine comfort for work crews travelling between sites. Storage solutions include upper and lower gloveboxes, console compartments, and a hidden sunglasses holder positioned behind the infotainment screen. Second-row passengers benefit from dedicated climate vents and controls. Audio control knobs balance tactile feedback with digital integration, while available authentic leather surfaces and real wood accents on higher trims create a refined environment for those extended highway stretches across the province.
