Our most recent review of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: The 2024 Silverado HD (Heavy Duty) LTZ Premium is huge, but it’s a refined, comfortable, feature-packed ute so there’s a lot to like about it.

This is what Marcus Craft liked most about this particular version of the Chevrolet Silverado: Roomy interior, Ample torque, Great open-road tourer
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Chevrolet Silverado 2024 prices range from $134,860 for the basic trim level Dual Cab 1500 LTZ Premium to $163,900 for the top of the range Dual Cab 1500 ZR2.
The HD's role as a load-lugger is reflected in the options offered. Basically, they surround the type of tonneau cover you want. Beyond that, other normally optional gear like a sunroof, opening rear window and stereo upgrade are all standard in the Australian version.
You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.
As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.

We are not aware of any plan for Holden to bring in the big Chevy pickup. The Silverado is already available on the local market, with several small importers bringing it in.

Quality of materials and assembly have sky-rocketed from a few years ago in this class of truck. There's still plenty of plastic around, but it's decent spec stuff now and the whole interior feels upmarket.
A true highlight, the 6.6-litre turbo-diesel V8 is tuneful (in a diesel way) and long on ability and torque. Torque? Yes, how does 1332Nm sound?

An upgrade to a black leather trim material has given the Silverado a bit of extra polish inside. That includes front seats that both feature 10-way adjustability, heating and cooling. The rear seat is a proper three-seater.
Clearly, this vehicle isn't about speed for its own sake, but that monster engine means it's far from slow. Figure on 0-100km/h in under seven seconds which is most un-truck-like. Top speed is around 160km/h.
Despite having a dual-cab body, the tray of the Silverado is still huge. It's more than two metres long inside, can easily take a pallet between the wheel arches and can consume almost 2000 litres of whatever it is you're carting.
There's no doubt the Silverado likes fuel, but at freeway speeds with nothing on the tow-bar, you should be aiming for around 15 litres per 100km (there's no official figure). Thanks to the 136-litre tank, that should give a range between 800 and 900km.
