A heavy-duty work truck is drawing unexpected attention on Bring a Trailer, a marketplace more commonly associated with sports cars, classic vehicles, and collectible oddities. A 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD Crew Cab has appeared on the auction site, standing out as a purpose-built commercial truck offered alongside far more recreational machinery.
With approximately 6,000 miles recorded, the Silverado 4500HD is still effectively new. Unlike the half-ton pickups that dominate consumer truck sales, this example is based on a dually chassis-cab platform and configured for serious work. It is fitted with a Hillsboro Industries hybrid steel-and-aluminum flatbed featuring diamond-plate surfaces, integrated tie-down rails, a headache rack, aluminum side storage boxes, and a receiver hitch.
The truck is further equipped with an RDS aluminum fuel transfer tank paired with a 12-volt Fill-Rite pump and nozzle, allowing it to refuel equipment on-site. Power is supplied by a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 producing 350 horsepower and 750 pound-feet of torque. That output is routed through an Allison six-speed automatic transmission, with a dual-range transfer case, locking rear differential, and factory exhaust brake completing the drivetrain.
Properly configured, the Silverado 4500HD carries a maximum towing rating of up to 37,000 pounds. That figure exceeds the towing capacity of multiple light-duty pickups combined, including the Ford F-150 in its most capable configurations.
Inside, the cabin reflects Chevrolet’s long-running Silverado design, prioritizing familiarity over novelty. While the layout traces its roots back several years, it remains functional and durable. This example features black Katzkin leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, red seat belts, air conditioning, cruise control, and an eight-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity.
As bidding reached $54,500, the truck remained below the Silverado 4500HD’s original base MSRP of $59,535, not accounting for the flatbed, auxiliary fuel system, or other upgrades. For buyers seeking a turnkey heavy-duty truck rather than a showpiece, the auction represents a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new commercial-grade vehicle that is immediately ready to work.
