2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LTZ

The Silverado 3500HD is Chevrolet's heavy-duty pickup, built for serious towing and hauling rather than daily commuting. It drives with the heft you expect from a one-ton truck, and the steering is direct enough to place it confidently on the highway. The ride is firm when unladen, which is the trade-off for the payload capacity it carries. Inside, the cabin is roomy and functional, with a straightforward layout that puts controls where you expect them. The LTZ is the trim that adds leather upholstery and heated seats to the heavy-duty package, a step up from the LT without going all the way to High Country. Its 6.6L V8 makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that give it the grunt for heavy trailers. The LTZ can be ordered with the Z71 off-road package, which adds a locking rear differential and skid plates for work off the pavement.
