If you’re looking for a heavy-duty truck that’s got plenty of technology to make trailering easy, is ready to work any job, and even offers an off-road-focused trim, then the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD should stand out in your search.
Those Engines
These are some powerful engines, and they give you the grunt you need to do just about anything you can imagine. The standard engine is a 6.6 L V8 gas giving you 401 hp and 464 pound-feet of torque. With that kind of power on board, you can tow up to 4,075 pounds. It comes with an Allison 10-speed transmission and a 3.73 axle ratio that guaranteed steady delivery of power while maximizing efficiency.
Then there’s a diesel: a Duramax 6.6 L Turbo Diesel V8. This one gets you 470 hp and an enormous 975 pound-feet of torque. The engine comes with a block heater and a winter grille cover, both of which improve performance if you ever want to take it to the mountains in the winter. When you combine all that power with the available Max Trailering Package and a fifth-wheel hitch, you can tow up to 22,070 pounds.
Advanced Trailering Technology
Speaking of towing more than 22,000 pounds, any of us could use a little help to do that safely, and the Silverado 2500 HD has some very innovative technology to do just that. You’ve got Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering, which helps you maintain a safe distance from other vehicles using an exclusive system that automatically brakes and accelerates to account for all that extra weight. You can also opt for trailer blind zone alert, which will alert you to any vehicle anywhere along the length of your trailer.
There are also eight available cameras on the Silverado, and together they can give you 14 separate and distinct views of the area all around your truck and trailer. There’s even a transparent trailer view that lets you see behind your trailer. Get the trailering app, and you’ll also have access to a lot of convenience features, such as trailer security alerts, electronic diagnostics, and a pre-departure checklist.
A Multifunctional Tailgate
One of the best features of the new Silverado is this tailgate. It’s available on any trim and is standard on higher trims, and it gives you six functions to make loading and unloading easier. These include operating like a traditional tailgate, unfolding down to create a bed step, folding flat to create a work surface, stopping loose items from rolling around using a load stop, and support for lock and release.
