For the 2022 model year, Chevy updated the Silverado 1500 and now the heavy-duty versions are getting a refresh for the 2024 model year. The mid-cycle refresh brings updated styling, an upgraded interior and upgraded turbodiesel V8.
Under the hood buyers can choose from either a 6.6-liter V8 and or 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8. The Duramax now has more power at 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft. of torque, compared to 445 hp and 910 lb-ft. The gasoline-powered V8’s power figures stay the same at 401 hp and 464 lb-ft. The big change for the V8 is that it’s now mated to the same 10-speed automatic transmission as the turbodiesel.
On the outside the updates bring a redesigned grille, new headlights, the “CHEVROLET” lettering on the hood scoop and updated wheel designs. Inside the LT, LTZ and High Country trim levels now have a 13.4-inch display for the infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. On the tech front, the Silverado HD gets a longer list of driving aids, like Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer, which lets the adaptive cruise control system to take into account a trailer’s drag and effect on braking. There’s also the Enhanced Transparent Trailer, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, GCW Alert systems are available, while Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and lane departure warning are standard.
