2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Performance and Engine

Duramax 6.6L Turbocharged Diesel V8

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's legendary 6.6L Duramax turbocharged diesel V8, paired with the equally legendary Allison 6-speed automatic overdrive transmission — one of the most respected drivetrain combinations in the heavy-duty truck segment. In the 2016 model year, this engine produces up to 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, giving you the muscle to tow fifth-wheel trailers, flatbeds, and equipment that would leave lighter trucks gasping. The Allison transmission is widely regarded as the gold standard in automatic gearboxes for work trucks, known for its durability, smooth power delivery, and resistance to heat under load. Four-wheel drive adds all-weather confidence and off-pavement capability that's genuinely useful in the Pacific Northwest, where job sites and back roads don't always cooperate with the weather.

Towing and Payload Capability

The Silverado 3500 HD platform is rated to tow up to 23,200 lbs when properly configured and carries significant payload capacity in the bed — numbers that put it in a class alongside professional work vehicles. Whether you're hauling equipment for a construction crew, towing a large camper through the Cascades, or running heavy loads across King County job sites, this truck was purpose-built for exactly that kind of use.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD LTZ Features and Interior

LTZ Trim — Premium Without the Price of New

The LTZ trim level is the second-highest in Chevrolet's Silverado HD lineup, sitting just below the High Country, and it brings a genuinely premium experience. Expect features that include heated leather-appointed front seats, a Bose premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable driver's seat, and a large center console designed with the working driver in mind. The infotainment system includes navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB inputs that keep you connected on long hauls or cross-county commutes. The Crew Cab layout delivers four full-size doors with rear seating that gives adults real legroom — a critical advantage when your crew is riding with you to the job site every morning. The exterior presents in a clean Silver finish, and the 3500 HD platform carries the bold, squared-off aesthetic that Chevrolet refined for this generation of heavy-duty trucks — functional and imposing in equal measure.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Silverado 3500 HD with the Duramax/Allison combination has earned one of the strongest reputations in the heavy-duty truck segment. Diesel truck enthusiasts and working professionals frequently cite the Duramax 6.6L as one of the most reliable engines Chevrolet has ever built — capable of running well past 300,000 miles when maintained properly. The Allison transmission is a separate entity from General Motors and has a decades-long reputation for outlasting the trucks it's bolted into. Common maintenance items to be aware of at this mileage include fuel filter replacements, DEF system maintenance, and routine inspection of the injection system — all standard for any diesel of this age. Owners consistently report that the 3500 HD platform holds its structural integrity well under heavy use, and the LTZ's interior components tend to age gracefully compared to lower trims.
