New 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

When the going gets tough, the tough get the sturdy and fully capable 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

Inside that sturdy exterior sits one of two cast-iron blocks with aluminum-head engines: a 360-horsepower, 6.0-liter V-8, or a 365-horsepower, turbocharged and diesel-fueled V-8; these power ratings are superior to both the Ford F-350 and the Dodge Ram 3500. Both engines are mated to a heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. With these monster motors, payload ranges from about 3,000 pounds to more than 5,300 pounds.  When it comes to towing, the Silverado 3500 HD can haul between 11,600 and 13,000 pounds depending on the cab configuration.

Three cab sizes (Regular, Extended and Crew) allow you to choose the right amount of cabin space for the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, and two bed lengths (8 and 6.5 feet respectively) let you pick your cargo space. The basic work truck model of the Silverado comes with a dressed down interior featuring vinyl seats, while most items like air conditioning and power door locks optional. Shift up to the LT model and a sunroof becomes an option, along with power driver and front passenger seats, TV, navigation system and rearview camera.

Cruise control, remote power door locks, leather-wrapped steering wheel and air conditioning all come standard. The LTZ trim puts the Silverado equipment list into overdrive with standard leather seats, power door locks, cruise control, dual zone climate control and leather steering wheel.  Options include a sunroof, rearview camera, parking sensors, TV and a navigation system.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is safe enough to handle whatever you throw at it, whether it’s on your daily commute or your trip to the sand dunes with your best toys. A sturdy steel frame protects, while four-wheel antilock brakes provide the stopping power to avoid collisions. Dual front airbags provide a cushion for impact, while an electronic stability system helps provide improved balance.

It’s all here: leather, power, payload and towing capacity. With multiple cab and bed configurations and two bullish engine options, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is your work and play truck—and it’s ready for action.
