For heavy-duty work or recreational applications, there’s only one truck for the job: the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD.

Providing seemingly endless ways to customize it to your liking, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 excels as a dependable workhorse or family hauler. The handsome full-size pickup is also packed with tons of convenient amenities and technology. Let’s take a look at the compelling features it has to offer!
Many Powertrain Options

Along with a tow/haul mode, the transmission features Powertrain Grade Braking technology that automatically uses the engine and transmission to slow the vehicle as it travels down an incline, helping to extend the brakes’ service life.
An available 305-hp 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel motor increases torque to 495 lb-ft while delivering an admirable fuel economy of up to 29 MPG highway. Fans of V8 power may choose from a pair of EcoTec3 engines: a 355-hp 5.3L and 420-hp 6.2L. Either power plant produces ample torque at a respective 383 and 460 lb-ft.

Choosing the 5.3L unlocks a towing capacity of at least 11,000 pounds. The truck certainly has no problem transporting large trailers or boats when you consider these figures. For the toughest jobs, you’ll want to go for the 3.0L or 6.2L, which allow the truck to pull more than 13,000 pounds!
Bed lengths range from 69.92 to 98.18 inches, plus the Silverado’s high-strength steel-reinforced Durabed can support up to 2,260 pounds of payload. Along with a standard 12 tie-downs, each rated for 500 pounds per corner, there’s the available Multi-Flex Tailgate.

The base model keeps it simple, yet still functional with durable vinyl upholstery and rubberized flooring. Other trims allow you to turn the truck into a genuinely luxurious ride by offering perforated leather-wrapped seats, 10-way power front seats with lumbar support, and a 7-speaker Bose premium audio system.
A 7-inch infotainment touchscreen system featuring support for wireless smartphone integration and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot is standard. Many trims sport a larger 13.4-inch display with Google built-in.
