With the introduction of a mid-cycle refresh for the new model year, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is highlighted by exterior styling tweaks, an overhauled interior, and updates to the powertrain. Now, here are the current fastest-turning Silverado HD trim levels.
At present, the Custom and High Country trims are the fastest-turning models in the Silverado HD lineup. More specifically, the Custom is running at a 14 days supply, while the High Country boasts a 16 days supply. For reference, this means that Custom and High Country units spend approximately 14 and 16 days, respectively, on dealership lots before being sold. Notably, a 60 days supply is considered optimal.
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 those trim levels just recently entered production in August 2023 and began deliveries in September 2023.
When considering the positioning of these two trim levels within the 2024 Silverado HD’s lineup, it may come as no surprise that the Custom and High Country are the two most popular models. Sitting in the middle of the hierarchy, the former trim features a healthy combination of features from across the model range, while the latter trim level is highlighted by the availability of high-tech features and goodies, making it a desirable model.
Under the hood, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is equipped with the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine as standard, 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 as an option.
In regard to transmission options, both engines feature the Allison-branded 10-speed automatic as standard.
As for structure, 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 received my preordered 2024 2500hd LT crew cab in late July of 23 after numerous orders were not picked up or orders were kicked. i began by ordering a 2023 hd crew in Sept 22, and wasn’t told until January 2023 the order didn’t get picked up and that began my 2024 ordering adventure. i soon noticed a feature missing that I’ve had on previous trucks and that’s the 4 WHEEL DRIVE AUTO BUTTON. i have checked with the dealer salesman and the dealership service dept and was told that 4WHEEL DRIVE AUTO was not available for 2024 on the LT MODEL, I’m so very disappointed, I live in northern ny and always used this feature often on my other trucks in the winter. thoughts and comments are welcome
It’s available for the LT, at least according to the online configurator. You just need to have selected the AutoTrac 2-speed transfer case as an option. Now, whether they are actually building them that way could be a different story.
As for 4WD, if you’re concerned with weather, just flip the dial over to 4-Hi. You don’t need auto and it will produce less wear on your transfer case.
On the WT models, you have to order an optional to have 4 Low now days. That use to be standard on all 4WD.
Does GM think 4 low isn’t essential or is it just a cost cutting measure? I understand you can configure it if you need it but I miss the days where 4 low was just standard.
Agree, there JJ. Though, most of the GM truck made now days are 4WD. Just think it is another way they are being cheap stakes. Just like the base Silverado does not come standard with cruise – sad.
I remember back in the 1970’s when my dad’s K10 had full time 4WD with 4hi lock and 4lo lock.
Optional 4WD low range is only an issue on 1500’s. 4WD HD’s come standard with 4WD Low, the option is to add Autotrac.
Maybe you should have oredered the LTZ package. My 2022 LTZ 3500 dually has the auto button. In fact I drove in Auto before I found out from my service rep that I should be driving in 2 wl instead. I didn’t know Auto put it in all wheel drive, which uses more fuel.
ty , i hear all of you. i always used auto dial/button on winter roads where the road goes from snow to bare, and when I saw bare id put it back into 2 high
My spouse works in Flint Assembly building the HD Silverados and Sierras. I have learned that inside the plant the general consensus is that the “old” (2023 and earlier) trucks were good, but the 2024 is dramatically better in many ways. A friend told me that his daughter works at the plant that makes the new Rams and even though she gets an employee discount (and less grief) if she bought the Ram, after researching the Big Three competitors, she bought the GM product at personal expense.
How are the 2024 Silverado/Sierra HD “dramatically” better in many ways? Honest question. The new interior and the 10 speed Allison branded trans are the only things I can think of.
Of course, she bought it at personal expense. No manufacturer gives their employees a free vehicle.
