With 4X4 models starting at just $31,265, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 4WD full-sized pickup truck is an affordable representation of what a real truck should be. They're tough as nails and able to get the job done - whatever the job entails. The stock Vortec 6.0L V8 engine coupled with the Hydra-Matic 6-speed auto transmission delivers the power that you need to breeze through even your most taxing projects. The optional 6.6L Duramax V8 Turbo-Diesel with the Allison 1000 Series 6-speed transmission grants you even more power and sustainable longevity, exceeding that of the Toyota Tundra.

You can order your new Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD with either single or double rear wheel assembly. 3 trim packages are available in your choice of Regular, Extended and Crew cab styles. An easy-to-read Driver's Information Center (DIC) keeps you in the know of all relevant operational statistics in real time. The interior of the cabin is as classy as you want or need it to be, option dependent. You can order an entire slew of optional features that will deck your new Chevy truck out like the Batmobile. If you want just a bare-bones version for dirty workers and lots of mud, cement and saw dust, then that is definitely available too.

If you're the type that finds yourself pulling heavy trailers often, then the optional fully-integrated trailer brake control system is a must for you. When coupled with the standard electronic stability control system and ABS braking, you will always remain in complete control of your trailer and all its contents. Chevrolet is notorious for taking safety seriously; they want you to be able to depend on your truck to get you through tough situations - not just your driving skills and luck.

The interior is designed with convenience in mind - and the 2009 Chevy Silverado seems to understand the needs of the working man. Heavy gloves on your hands will still be able to easily grip needed knobs. Features like oversized dual glove boxes and dual auxiliary power outlets come in very handy for you and your crew every day - several times. Front airbags and standard OnStar roadside assistance grant you and your passengers the extra comfort of knowing that you're going to make it through potentially devastating situations with ease. XM Satellite Radio makes your trips pleasurable, especially when pumped through the most-excellent sound system that comes with your new Chevy truck.

Tire pressure monitoring systems, electronic traction control, a powerful wide stance that takes corners with minimal lean and other standard safety features round out the overall level of well being felt by all in the vehicle. On the WT trims, a 40/60/40 split-bench front seat allows extra comfort, spaciousness and hauling capacity at will. For the Extended and Crew cab models, a full-width rear bench seat grants passengers real comfort that men can enjoy - not just little children being hauled to baseball games.
