2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Work Truck

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Work Truck 4x4 4dr Crew Cab DRW is a heavy-duty pickup truck built for serious work, combining rugged capability with practical design.
As part of Chevrolet’s heavy-duty lineup, this model is engineered to handle demanding tasks, offering robust towing and payload capacities alongside a spacious crew cab configuration.
The dual rear wheel (DRW) setup enhances stability and load-bearing potential, making it ideal for towing large trailers or hauling heavy equipment.
**Exterior Design**
The Silverado 3500HD Work Truck boasts a no-nonsense, utilitarian exterior that prioritizes function over flash.
Its bold front grille features Chevrolet’s iconic crossbar design, finished in black, paired with halogen headlights that provide reliable illumination.
The DRW configuration adds wider rear fenders to accommodate the dual rear wheels, giving it a planted, muscular stance.
Standard 17-inch steel wheels are durable and suited for tough job sites, while the high ground clearance and skid plates (on 4x4 models) protect the undercarriage during off-road or rugged use.
The cargo bed measures 8 feet in length, offering ample space, and includes a CornerStep rear bumper for easy access.
Mirrors are manually adjustable, high-visibility vertical trailering mirrors with a lower convex spotter glass, designed to assist with towing visibility.
**Interior Features**
Inside, the Crew Cab layout provides seating for up to six passengers across two rows, with a focus on durability and simplicity.
The upholstery is heavy-duty vinyl, easy to clean and resistant to wear—perfect for work environments.
The front bench seat splits 40/20/40, offering flexibility for passengers or additional storage, while the rear bench folds fully to accommodate cargo inside the cab.
Air conditioning is standard, ensuring basic comfort, and the windows are manually operated in the base configuration (power windows are optional with the WT Convenience Package).
The cabin includes practical storage solutions like door pockets and a locking glovebox, though luxury features are minimal, reflecting its work-focused ethos.
Rubberized vinyl flooring replaces carpeting, enhancing durability and simplifying cleanup after messy jobs.
**Technology and Infotainment**
The Work Truck trim keeps technology straightforward, featuring a 7-inch diagonal monochrome touchscreen infotainment system.
This includes AM/FM radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, and an auxiliary input jack for basic connectivity.
A six-speaker audio system provides decent sound quality for the cabin.
The driver information center features a 3.5-inch monochromatic display, delivering essential data like speed, fuel level, and warning messages.
Optional upgrades via the WT Convenience Package can add remote keyless entry and cruise control, but smartphone integration like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is not standard on this trim.
**Performance and Powertrain**
The 2019 Silverado 3500HD Work Truck 4x4 is powered by a standard 6.0-liter V8 gasoline engine with variable valve timing (VVT) and flex-fuel capability (E85 compatible).
This engine produces 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery.
An optional 6.6-liter Duramax V8 turbo-diesel engine is available, boosting output to 445 horsepower and an impressive 910 lb-ft of torque, mated to an Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission.
The 4x4 drivetrain includes a two-speed transfer case with a floor-mounted shifter, offering 2WD-High, 4WD-High, and 4WD-Low modes for versatile traction.
With the diesel engine and proper equipment, towing capacity reaches up to 23,100 pounds (conventional) or 31,200 pounds (fifth-wheel/gooseneck), while the gasoline V8 supports up to 14,500 pounds conventionally.
Payload capacity exceeds 7,000 pounds, thanks to the DRW setup and reinforced frame.
