The Chevy Silverado is legendary for its power, versatility, and classic styling that have made it an icon of the American truck industry. The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 continues that legacy, offering multiple powertrain options, hard-working capability, and modern technology that keeps drivers connected and engaged.
Versatile and Exciting Powertrain Options
One aspect of the Silverado prized by truck enthusiasts is the versatile powertrain options that are available. The base engine is the innovative TurboMax, which balances capable power with improved efficiency. Alongside an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, it creates 310 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque while maintaining fuel efficiency of 18 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.
There’s an optional 355-horsepower 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 that produces 383 foot-pounds of torque, while the available 420-horsepower 6.2-liter version of the EcoTec3 V8 generates an amazing 460 foot-pounds of torque. Those who prefer diesel power can select the 305-horsepower 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel that delivers 495 foot-pounds of torque. The latter three engines are matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain.
Hard-Working Towing and Hauling Capability
Full-size pickups are built for hard work, and the Silverado 1500 has the towing and payload capacities to get the job done. In a crew cab configuration, the Silverado can carry up to six adults comfortably. The Silverado’s standard 6-foot cargo box offers 62.9 cubic feet of cargo volume, and it has a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,280 pounds, depending on equipment and powertrain selection.
The Silverado is built for towing loads that exceed its onboard payload capacity, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped. The Silverado 1500 also has multiple standard and optional tow-friendly features that make towing a trailer much simpler, including hitch guidance, an in-vehicle trailering app, a hitch view camera, a trailer side blind zone alert, and power-adjustable vertical outside trailering mirrors.
Technology That Improves the Driving Experience
Modern infotainment and driver assistance features are incorporated into the Silverado 1500’s design, and they are intended to keep drivers focused and connected. The Silverado’s infotainment and connectivity features include a 3.5-inch driver information center, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, a 7-inch color touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a 6-speaker audio system.
The Silverado earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, partially due to its driver assistance technology. The Silverado’s standard features include a forward collision alert, an HD rear vision camera, a following distance indicator, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, OnStar Basics with automatic crash response, and front pedestrian braking.
