Are you looking for a durable pickup that’s strong enough for your tough job, but light enough for everyday errands? Consider the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the lightest pickup in the Silverado lineup. From its strong performance to its innovative features, check out everything the new Silverado 1500 has to offer!

Engine and Transmission

The standard engine on the Chevy Silverado 1500 is a TurboMax engine that yields 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting.

Available engine options for the Silverado 1500 include a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine. All three of these options are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul mode for improved performance and engine cooling during the towing process.

Towing and Hauling

If you plan on using your Silverado 1500 for towing, the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is a great option because it offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. The Silverado 1500 Custom and all higher trims come with a Chevy Trailering Package that includes a trailer hitch, hitch platform, receiver hitch, electrical harness, and more.

The Silverado 1500 is also the perfect pickup for hauling cargo. With the high-strength steel Durabed, you can haul abrasive items like gravel without so much as a scratch. The twelve standard cargo tie-downs are rated at 500 pounds per corner, securing large items like furniture without any sliding.

Exterior and Appearance

The Chevy Silverado comes with a CornerStep rear bumper, cab-mounted cargo area lamps, and a standard tailgate locking. The 17-inch ultra silver wheels and all-season blackwall tires take on the terrain with ease, while the solar-absorbing glass prevents the sun from overheating your cabin.

Seating and Technology

There’s seating for six passengers inside the Chevy Silverado 1500, with a 40/20/40 front bench seat and a 60/40 split rear bench seat. The front seat has a convenient under-seat storage compartment for small items like work tools or a change of clothes.

Another convenient feature inside the Silverado 1500 is the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with wireless smartphone integration. Use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to sync your phone to the truck for hands-free phone calls, texting, and enjoying your favorite music playlists.
