The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup that’s fully customizable as a work truck, luxury truck, or off-road truck. It can also tow and carry heavy loads with style and ease. We’re going to look closer at some of the features that make it the truck you want in your driveway.
Multiple Engine Options
The Silverado 1500 offers multiple engine options, allowing you to choose the best one for your needs. The standard engine is the 2.7L TurboMax, which produces 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. For increased performance, choose the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 that delivers 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The largest of the three gas engine options is the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, which provides 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Like the 5.3L above, it’s also paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. If you need to tow the heaviest loads or want maximum possible power, opt for the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel and its 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque and 10-speed automatic transmission.
Towing Power and Technology
Towing capacity depends on many variables, like your engine, cab type, bed type, and drivetrain. In addition, adding the Trailing Package enables your Silverado to tow the maximum capacity for the truck options you’ve chosen. The 2.7L Turbo tows up to 9,500 pounds. This increases to 11,300 pounds with the 5.3L V8 and 13,300 pounds with the 6.2L V8. The Duramax 3.0L diesel can easily haul 13,500 pounds when properly equipped.
The Trailering Package includes a trailer hitch and hitch platform, Hitch guidance, a 2″ receiver hitch with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and a 7-pin sealed connector with a 7-wire electrical harness for connecting the trailer’s brakes and lights to your Silverado. Trailering is safer than ever using the Trailer app on your infotainment system, which provides three hitch views and seven driving views using specialized cameras.
Chevy Safety Assist
Chevy Safety Assist is a package of six driver assistance features that protect you on the road. They use advanced sensors, radar, and cameras to monitor the space around your vehicle. If they identify a potential threat, you’ll receive visual and audible warnings to alert you to danger.
Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, for example, uses radar and camera to warn you if you’re too close to the vehicle ahead. Warning chimes will sound, and an icon will appear on your screen to alert you to hit the brakes. If you’re unable to respond fast enough, this system automatically applies hard braking.
