Your Guide to the 2024 Chevy Low Cab Forward 5500 HG
Power
The 5500 HG is powered by a 6.6L V8 gas engine. Its gross vehicle weight rating is 17,950 pounds with a maximum payload of 11,407 to 12,064 pounds. The gross combined weight rating is 23,950 pounds. The engine gets up to 350 horsepower and 425 lb.-ft. of torque. Both models use the MW7 Allison six-speed automatic transmission.
The front suspension uses the reverse Elliot “I”-beam to better support heavy loads. The back includes a steel alloy rear suspension system with built-in shock absorbers to smooth your ride. Your cargo will stay in place even if the roads need to be repaved.
Size
The 5500 HG is available in three wheelbase lengths, including 132.5 inches, 150 inches, and 176 inches, which should give you plenty of storage space. You can upgrade to a crew cab body on the larger two sizes. This truck comfortably seats three people to get your crew to the job site.
Specs
The truck sits on 19.5-inch by six-inch wheels and 225/70R19.5 tires for getting through the mud and snow. It has a 5.37 rear axle ratio: a noticeable increase from the 3500 HG and 4500 HG.
Exterior
The truck is covered in standard arc white paint. It’s perfect for adding your company logo and standing out on dark roads. The unloading feature raises the storage bed to help you drop off your materials in record time.
Interior
The inside has everything you need to handle a long day on the job, including cupholders, durable floor mats, power windows, and door storage pockets. The entertainment system works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay so that you can use all your portable devices mid-trip.
Add-ons
You can add an advanced audio system complete with a 7-inch color touchscreen to break up your time in the car, a mirror bracket extension to see around the truck, remote keyless entry, and a high back driver-only torsion bar with foam pads to stabilize the interior on rough roads.
