The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 raises the bar for full-size pickup trucks with its blend of power, technology, and innovative features. Keep reading to learn about the top highlights of the new Silverado 1500.
1. Versatile Engine Options
The Silverado 1500’s base model comes equipped with the Turbomax engine. It delivers 310 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 430 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm. Its 8-speed automatic transmission features a Tow/Haul mode, ensuring that the powertrain provides optimal performance during demanding tasks as well as everyday driving.
Drivers who choose the Silverado 1500 WT can also upgrade to the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine. While its 383 lb-ft of torque is lower than the standard engine, the 383 horsepower it delivers is higher. This motor is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Additional Engine Options
The higher trim levels receive either the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 or the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel. Both motors produce over 450 lb-ft of torque.
2. Advanced Towing Technology
In addition to the TurboMax engine’s 13,300 lb maximum towing capacity, all Silverado 1500 trim levels benefit from the Trailer Safety Blind Zone Alert. This driver assistance technology can greatly improve your peace of mind when towing a trailer. Your Silverado will give you audio and visual notifications when vehicles enter your trailer’s blind spot, helping prevent collisions with cars and trucks in neighboring lanes.
Higher trim levels of the Silverado 1500 may come equipped with a comprehensive camera system that provides 14 unique views around the truck.
3. Cutting-Edge Infotainment
The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system includes a center touchscreen display that allows you to navigate between your favorite radio stations or media on connected devices. Because the new Silverado comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, gaining access to your favorite Spotify playlists and streaming entertainment is quick and intuitive.
4. Off-Road Capabilities
Even the base model Silverado is ready to hit the trails. Its electric power steering is especially effective during low-speed maneuvers such as navigating around obstacles on back roads while the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system helps prevent rollovers and ensures the Silverado maintains traction in a variety of conditions.
Anyone who wants the ultimate level of adventure-ready performance should consider adding the ZR2 suspension package. This package includes Multimatic DSSV dampers and a high-performance lifted suspension. By adding the ZR2 package, you can traverse rougher terrain while maintaining a smooth ride.
From its performance and durability to its thoughtful technology and driver assistance features, the new Silverado 1500 routinely exceeds drivers’ expectations. To learn more about the new Silverado 1500 or to take it out for a test drive, visit Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith in Fort Smith, AR.
