Back in May 2023, GM Authority reported that the fastest turning trim levels of the refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD were the Custom and LT. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the trims that spent the least amount of time on dealership lots over the course of June 2023.
As of the time of this writing, Custom and High Country units are the fastest-turning trims for the 2024 Silverado HD. It’s worth noting that the new HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison trim levels haven’t been included in the sales mix yet, as the off-road-focused models don’t enter production until August 2023.
When considering the positioning of these two trim levels within the 2024 Silverado HD’s lineup, this may come as no surprise. Sitting in the middle of the hierarchy, the Custom trim features a healthy combination of features from across the model range. Meanwhile, the range-topping High Country trim level is highlighted by the availability of high-tech features and goodies, making it a desirable model.
As previously mentioned, the HD ZR2 isn’t currently available yet. Marketed as the ultimate all-terrain Silverado HD, the HD ZR2 features a bevy of off-road goodies, including unique front grille, flow-tie emblem, unique wheel opening molding with integrated mudguards, ZR2 badging in the grille bar, a 1.5-inch suspension lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, specific front upper and lower control arms and specific steering knuckles, a larger steel transfer case skid plate, a front aluminum skid plate, a rear locker, and 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires.
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is equipped with the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine as standard fare, rated at 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, across the entire trim lineup. The optional 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine, which has been uprated to 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque for the mid-cycle refresh, is also available.
In regard to transmission options, both engines feature the Allison-branded 10-speed automatic as standard.
Under the body panels, the Silverado HD rides on a more-capable variant of the GM T1 platform, which it shares with its corporate platform-mate, the 2024 GMC Sierra HD. Production kicked off in March 2023 at the GM Flint plant in Michigan, and few weeks later at the GM Oshawa plant in Canada.

I bought a 2022 3500 Silverado Duramax dually LTZ. The High Country model cost $7,000 more for very few upgrades that are worth that much money. And I didn’t buy it off the lot. I ordered it from the factory. That way you get what you want, not just what’s sitting on the lot that you have to drive to however many dealerships to fine what your looking for. Of course you have to wait a few months to get it, but you get what you want. I’ve ordered every truck I’ve bought since 94 from the factory. You get to pick the eng., color, interior trim, and color, 4 wheel, or 2 wheel, diferencial, wheels, What dealership is going to have all the choices on one vehicle that your looking for.
I’ve had a 2024 2500HD double cab long box LTZ on order since the first of March. Chevrolet has still not accepted the order. The status is 1100. Any information on when they will start building these?
I ordered my 2024 3500 High Country SRW in Lakeshore Blue back in March 2023. My local dealer does not have allocation yet. Hopefully soon!
Well, if they are still coming out at the same pace mine did, you should get it sometime in Aug. I ordered on Sep. 3rd of 21 and got it Jan. 20th of 22. 5 months later. Mine was during the chip shortage and it came without the heated seats and steering wheel chips. My dealer finaly got them in 7 months later and called me for the installed. I don’t know where you live, but my dealer has nothing but 5 star ratings. El Dorado Cheverolet in Mckinney, Tx. and I’d have to give them the same rating. What’s weired is, besides free coffee and internet, they have a barbershop right in the dealership. Sooner or later they’ll have to put in a hair salon for the ladies:)
This report seems skewed due to the fact GM has the dealers under heavy constraints and allocations. As stated by a member above the Extended cab is nonexistent, as well as work truck models. Hard to believe (IMHO) these numbers when the deck is stacked and there is a finite amount of vehicles to choose from. And they were assigned by GM themselves….NOW if the lot was full of every model GM made this report would be helpful but until then…
