  2017 Chevrolet Silverado and other C/K3500
  The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is Chevy's most powerful pickup, designed to do the type of laborious chores we constantly see in so many tough-guy pickup truck commercials. Be it hauling a bed full of rebar, towing a piece of heavy equipment, or both, the 2017 Silverado 3500HD has the muscle to move it. Yet for all its ruggedness, there's also a comfort story here, one made all the more alluring thanks to a recent redesign resulting in a more luxurious cabin and better features. With its improved Duramax diesel engine, the Silverado 3500HD gets even more muscle under the hood, although its towing payload numbers still lag slightly behind those of the the Ford F-350 Super Duty and RAM 3500HD.
  For 2017, Chevrolet improves the 3500HD's Duramax diesel engine, giving it a new air-injection system that pumps horsepower to 445 and torque to stump-pulling 910 lb-ft. Teen Driver is added as standard equipment, and there is a new Alaskan Edition package that adds snow plow prep, 18-inch black wheels and DuraTrac tires, trailer towing mirrors, amber roof lights and a spray-in bed liner.
  $35,805-$75,000
  The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD offers two engines. Standard is a 6.0-liter V8 that makes 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Shoppers who want more power can go for the truck's optional 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8, which makes a class-leading 445 hp and an especially muscular 910 lb-ft of torque.
  Stepping inside, the Silverado 3500HD impresses with its highly modern new dashboard, a rarity in the heavy-duty-truck world, which is usually the last segment to see any modern advancements in equipment and styling. The pickup's rear-seat room is also impressive, especially in Crew Cab models. We wouldn't suggest using it as around-town transportation for your family, but the Silverado 3500HD is just as capable of carrying passengers in comfort as it is of helping out on the job site.
