The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 helps every ride reach its full potential, with astounding performance and durable exterior features. We’re sharing some of the most powerful features of the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD below.
1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine
Every Silverado 2500 offers incredible power and stamina thanks to the standard 6.6L V8 gas engine. This engine boasts an impressive 401 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm.
2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine
If you’re looking for a truck that’s built for tough towing jobs, consider the Chevy Silverado 2500 with the available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine. This engine upgrade provides a maximum towing capacity of 22,070 pounds, along with 470 horsepower at 2800 rpm and 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm.
3. Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
The Silverado 2500 comes with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission that offers smooth shifting and enhanced performance when towing heavy trailers. The Allison 10-speed automatic transmission features Tow/Haul mode, which provides better control and improved cooling when towing a trailer by reducing shift cycling. This transmission also includes auto-grade braking to slow your truck and reduce wear by automatically downshifting on downhill grades.
4. Trailering Package
Everything you need for the towing process is included with your new Silverado 2500 HD in the Chevrolet Trailering Package. This expansive package comes with:
- Trailer hitch
- 2.5-inch receiver hitch
- Trailering hitch platform
- 4-pin and 7-pin connectors
- 7-pin sealed connector
- 7-wire electrical harness
The Chevy Trailering Package also includes Hitch Guidance, a digital feature that displays your hitch and trailer on an in-cabin screen. Hitch Guidance creates a visual guideline for aligning your trailer to the hitch during the attachment process and also lets you view your trailer and hitch as you drive.
5. Durabed
The 2025 Silverado 2500 comes with a strong Durabed cargo box that’s built to withstand cargo of all kinds. Abrasive materials like gravel can’t scratch the Durabed’s high-strength steel body, helping your cargo box stay pristine no matter what type of cargo it’s up against.
6. ChevyTec Spray-On Bedliner
The ZR2 and High Country Silverado 2500 trims come with a ChevyTec Spray-On bedliner that prevents items from slipping within your cargo box. The ChevyTec liner creates a textured, non-skid surface on the bed’s interior surface below the side rails, front bed top rail, and tie-downs. This liner is chemically bonded to provide a watertight seal through the entire cargo box.
7. Power Up-and-Down Tailgate
The Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 and High Country trims come with a power up-and-down tailgate to make loading and unloading your cargo easier than ever. This tailgate can open automatically with the key fob or by pressing a button on the tailgate or inside your cabin.
