Chevrolet is bringing some notable updates to the 2025 Silverado, but don’t worry—they aren’t messing with a good thing. The Silverado has long been a go-to for truck buyers who need power, capability, and durability, and the latest model sticks to that formula while adding a few welcome upgrades.
2025 Silverado – Power Where It Counts
The 2025 Silverado continues to offer a solid range of engine options, with some serious muscle and specs to back the full-size pickup model up. The 2.7L TurboMax engine delivers 430 lb-ft of torque, putting it at the top of the class for standard torque. If you’re more into diesel, the 3.0L Duramax inline-six turbo-diesel offers up an EPA-estimated 624 miles of range, giving you both power and efficiency. And, of course, for the V8 crowd, the 6.2L V8 churns out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8s in the full-size truck segment.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado – Smart Tech for Tough Jobs
Chevy is putting a lot of effort into tech that makes working with your truck easier. For 2025, the Silverado remains the only full-size truck that offers hands-free trailering with Super Cruise, their driver assistance system that handles highway driving, even with a trailer hitched up. Add to that eight cameras offering up to 14 different views, including a transparent trailer feature, and it’s clear that Chevrolet is leaning into tech that makes towing and hauling safer and easier.
Silverado – Off-Road Ready Right from the Factory
For the off-roaders, Chevrolet keeps things simple: they’ve got the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2 models, all factory-lifted and ready to hit the trails. The ZR2 is a standout, now with standard front and rear park assist, and a premium audio system for those moments when you’re not bouncing through the backcountry. We’ve used this system on our 2022 Silverado ZR2 and think it’s exciting that all Silverado ZR2 owners will get this premium Bose system going forward.
The best part? The Silverado remains one of the most affordable factory-lifted, full-size trucks you can buy, thanks to the Custom Trail Boss trim level. It comes with a factory-installed two-inch lift, Z71 suspension, and is ready to get dirty without a ton of pricey add-ons.
What’s New on the Silverado for 2025?
Chevy’s added a couple of fresh exterior colors, including Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue, along with new 20-inch high gloss black wheels for a bit more visual pop. Practical updates include standard cruise control on the Work Truck trim and a standard trailer brake controller on the LT trim.
For those who demand a little more from their truck’s interior, as mentioned above, the ZR2 now comes standard with premium audio. There’s also front and rear park assist to help with those tight spots.
Chevrolet Silverado – Still a Truck You Can Rely On
The 2025 Silverado doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it doesn’t need to. With a best-in-class cargo bed, multiple engine options, and real off-road capability right out of the box, Chevrolet continues to offer a truck that gets the job done, no matter what you throw at it.
So whether you’re towing, hauling, or hitting the trails, the latest Silverado has got you covered—now with a bit more tech and some added polish for 2025.
