History/Overview
In 2020, Chevrolet introduced the fourth generation of its Silverado heavy-duty pickup truck line, including the top consumer-grade version, the 3500HD, which builds on the entry-grade 2500HD and adds more capability in terms of payload and towing capacity.

Fuel economy
According to Natural Resources Canada, the Silverado 3500 is a commercial vehicle, so Chevrolet doesn’t have to publish fuel consumption estimates.
