An equally impressive 12.3-inch driver information center lets you keep an eye on essential vehicle data as you cruise around Lewisville and beyond.
Performance and Engines
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD is available with the following two engine options:

Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offer decent fuel economy. The V-8 gasoline engine gets around 12 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway, while the Duramax diesel engine averages around 17 mpg in the city and an impressive 23 mpg on the highway.
All-New 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
