We offer an impressive selection of one-ton heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500 HD pickup trucks in an array of trims and features necessary for whatever work project you have in mind.

The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Combines Power and Reliability

The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD has been a staple of the Silverado full-size pickup series since it became its own nameplate back in 1999. It was designed to handle more weight, more payload, and heavier trailering than the already heavy-duty three-quarter-ton Silverado 2500 HD. With the 3500 HD, you can access trailering capacities above and beyond tens of thousands of pounds.

The payload capacity is also capable of holding several tons in the bed, thanks to its reinforced frame, a toughened chassis, and an enhanced suspension. The ladder-frame design combined with the availability of two powerful powertrains in the form of a 6.6-liter V8 gas-powered engine and a 6.6-liter V8 turbo-diesel from Duramax makes the Chevy 3500 HD a force to be reckoned with on the road. There's no standard pickup task too tall or too large for the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD.

Available in multiple trim formats, ranging from a basic work trim up to a luxury-oriented pickup, you get a lot of options and versatility with the 3500 HD. And with the multi-functional Durabed made standard on every trim, you can use the Chevy 3500 HD as a multi-purpose work truck for any scenario. Multiple cab configurations and available single and dual-rear-wheel drive configurations also ensure you get a heavy-duty pickup that can tackle the most challenging of tasks, whether you opt for a new or pre-owned Chevy 3500 HD.

Things You Need to Consider When Purchasing a Used Chevy Silverado 3500 HD

When buying a pre-owned Chevy 3500 HD, you need to know the specific features you are looking for based on your specific needs, whether that is capability, safety, or even luxury. At Jay Hatfield Chevrolet, we have a lot of great search tools available so you can narrow down what you need versus what you want and what you should consider before buying a pre-owned heavy-duty pickup.

For instance, if you plan on doing a lot of heavy trailering and need a truck for towing large loads, you should definitely consider a dual rear wheel drive truck. With dual rear wheels, you get stable performance and higher tow capacity. You should also consider your cab configuration based on your work environment. Do you work alone, or are you part of a team? If alone, you can opt for a regular cab; if you're working with a team, you may need to consider a Crew Cab format with four doors and seating for up to six people.

Also, consider if you're going to be doing towing versus payload hauls. If you need a heavy-duty one-ton pickup for a lot of payload hauling, then you're likely going to want to go with a long-bed that can haul more than 7,000lbs worth of cargo. You also get higher payload ratings if you opt for a regular cab in a V8 gas configuration, as it means less weight on the truck so that the truck can carry more weight in the bed.

Another thing to consider is that while older model year Chevy Silverado 3500 HD models will be cheaper, they may have lower payload and trailering ratings, so there is a cost/benefit ratio with the functionality and financing. For instance, model years after 2020 have tougher frames, 10-speed Allison transmissions, improved engines, and much higher tow ratings than those before 2020. Also, any model after 2016 will net you an abundance of up-to-date tech, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, as well as improved Teen Driver functionality.
