2025 Chevy Silverado 2500
With its robust engines, cutting-edge technology, and sleek new looks, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 is poised to dominate the pickup truck industry.
This rugged pickup truck was made for hard-working families who want to take their off-duty time exploring the great outdoors.

Powerful Engines Options
Two of the same engines were transferred from last year: a gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 and a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8.
The gasoline engine has the same 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque as before, but the diesel swells to 470 hp and 975 lb-ft — an increase of 25 hp and 65 lb-ft.
Chevy also increased low-end torque by 25 percent, while a new 10-speed automatic transmission boosted the old six-speed with closer gear ratios and sharper gear shifts.
Although this truck weighs more than 7,400 pounds, you don’t have to press the throttle too far to make it move fast.
The Silverado HD has great acceleration thanks to all the added torque (and improved low-end torque), with a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers fast, compact gear shifts.
The Silverado 2500 Crew Cab with a standard bed and 6.6-liter diesel engine can tow up to 20,000 pounds — or 22,500 pounds with a gooseneck package.
That’s also with the Max Trailering package, which adds notable upgrades like the 3500 HD frame, leaf springs, shock pack, and a larger 12.0-inch rear axle.
The maximum payload increases to 3,850 pounds in the four-wheel drive Regular Cab diesel model — the LT Crew Cab tested here has just 3,411 pounds and tops out with a 16,000-pound towing.
Towing Safety
Towing safety is also an important characteristic of the Silverado HD; almost all are standard on the All-Star Edition.
It gets adaptive cruise control with trailering, an enhanced transparent trailer display, a trailer blind side warning, and a Gross Combined Weight Rating warning if your load exceeds its maximum capacity.
Everything can be accessed through a trailering app baked on the central touchscreen.
Super Cruise still isn’t available on the Silverado HD, but its younger brother, the Silverado 1500, offers an advanced driving system with a crane. So hopefully, it will make its way to the HD model soon.
Apart from Super Cruise, in general, the safety features of Silverado HD are greatly enhanced.
Adaptive cruise control enters this truck for the first time, along with front pedestrian braking, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning.
And for a truck of this size, having an extra layer of safety makes it even easier to drive on the highway.
Advanced Technology Package
The Chevrolet Technology Package, standard on the 2025 Silverado 2500, includes some advanced innovations that improve the ride and handling of the truck.
These features include an HD Surround Vision system with two trailer view cameras, a Rear Camera Mirror, and an 8-inch diagonal Digital Information Center.
These additions make driving more pleasant and help increase security and efficiency.
Redesigned Exterior and Interior
New C-shaped LED driving lights, new headlight clusters, and a reworked front grille identical to the 2022 Silverado 1500 may be seen on all 2025 Silverado 2500 models, from the entry-level Work Truck (WT) to the high-end High Country.
The interior has also been updated, with a new entertainment system and a reworked dashboard to make driving more pleasurable and convenient.
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD has some of any truck’s best interior technology and materials. The arrival of the ZR2 and Bison off-road trims for the first time even means you can take this monster truck on the trails.
Silverado 2500 is perfect for everyday use. Regarding all-around usability, LT models that provide the best balance between luxury and capability are priced right with genuine leather, real wood, a large touchscreen, and a powerful turbodiesel engine, all costing around $73,000.
A gorgeous new 13.4-inch touchscreen adorns the top of the dashboard, while a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits behind the wheel.
The center touchscreen uses GM’s latest infotainment technology, which is sharp, fast, and well laid out.
Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto don’t cost extra, and a nifty wireless charging pad tucked just below the middle edge has an excellent grip to hold your phone in place.
The overall interior is beautiful. Even with its reputation as a “work truck”, the LT has premium leather seats and excellent trim materials such as aluminum and glossy wood finishes.
Black-to-black is a bit bland — and it’s one of only two colors on this trim, other than beige — but hey, it’s great for hiding dirt.
Safety Features
Chevrolet has always paid a safety premium; the 2025 Silverado 2500 is no exception. The truck’s Chevy Safety Assist package contains sensors and cameras that monitor your proximity to the car in front of you and sound an alarm if you get too close.
The Silverado 2500 protects its driver and passengers with anti-lock brakes, stability control, front impact airbags, side impact airbags, overhead airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners, and a security system.
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is a robust, cutting-edge, and aesthetically pleasing pickup truck that offers a wide variety of useful amenities to meet the demands of today’s drivers.
The Silverado 2500 is poised to become a top choice for consumers for a dependable and capable heavy-duty truck thanks to its potent engine options, cutting-edge technology, updated exterior and interior, and extensive safety features.
