The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is a powerhouse of a truck, boasting mighty V8 engines and a super-strong chassis. Here’s a quick rundown on this compelling heavy-duty full-size pickup.
Potent Powertrain Options
Even in its most basic form, the Silverado 2500 HD promises exceptional performance thanks to its standard 6.6L V8 that produces 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough muscle to provide quick acceleration and a towing capacity of at least 14,500 pounds. For fans of turbodiesel power, an available 6.6L Duramax V8 increases output to an incredible 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque, good for a gooseneck trailering capacity of up to 22,420 pounds.
Either motor is mated to an electronically controlled Allison 10-speed automatic transmission featuring a tow/haul mode for greater control while the truck pulls heavy loads. The transmission also enables automatic engine braking, which aids in slowing the vehicle as it travels down steep inclines and extends brake rotor life.
Impressive Off-Roading Capability
The Silverado 2500 HD’s ample power, robust chassis, and standard automatic locking rear differential make the truck adept at tackling rugged terrain. Selecting available 4-wheel drive provides a boost in confidence. Along with improving traction, the system is complemented by a 2-speed transfer case that helps to optimize handling in different environments.
ZR2 models are further enhanced with a lifted suspension and Multimatic DSSV dampers. An electronic locking differential in the rear of the ZR2 and the trim’s Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires maximize grip.
Versatile Bed Utility
Constructed with high-strength steel and available in 82.25- and 98.27-inch bed lengths, the truck’s cargo box has no problem accommodating large, heavy loads. 12 standard cargo tie-downs make it easy to secure a variety of cargo items, plus the CornerStep rear bumper allows for easier access to the bed. The available MultiFlex tailgate boasts six functions, including a load stop and workstation.
Functional and Inviting Interior
The Silverado 2500 HD can be configured as a 3-seat regular cab, 6-seat double cab, or 5- or 6-seat crew cab. While the base WT trim keeps it simple with comfortable 4-way adjustable front seats and cloth or vinyl upholstery, other variants are available with power-adjustable front seats and genuine leather. The top-spec High Country model is particularly luxurious with its standard ventilated front seats and 7-speaker Bose premium audio system.
Standard support for Bluetooth technology, smartphone integration, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot means there are plenty of ways to connect your devices. Several trims come standard with a 13.4-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium touchscreen from which you can access useful Google built-in apps.
