The Silverado line of pickups from Chevrolet spans the spectrum of needs, from the efficient and practical 1500 half-ton to the immense power and towing capacity of the 3500 HD. In the middle of that range is the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, a three-quarter-ton truck that offers the perfect balance between hard-working power, rugged styling, and modern comfort and convenience.

Unveiling the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD

Two Powerful Engine Options

At the heart of the 2500 HD is the power to tackle almost any task, thanks to two engine options providing the power to haul and tow, whether on the road or off it. The gasoline-powered option is Chevy’s 6.6-liter V8, which generates an impressive 401 horsepower and 464 foot-pounds of torque. With an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission and a 3.73 rear axle ratio that balances towing power with efficiency, the 2500 HD is available with RWD or 4WD.

The second engine option is the 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8, renowned for its torque production and dependability. The Duramax engine generates 470 horsepower and an amazing 975 foot-pounds of payload-hauling torque. The diesel powerplant incorporated advanced features like a 3.42 rear axle ratio, an exhaust brake, an engine block heater, capped fuel fill, a winter grille cover, and an engine run-after feature that boosts cooling performance.

Impressive Towing and Payload Capacity

Despite its refined cabin and innovative technology features, the 2500 HD is part of a long lineage of hard-working trucks built for towing and hauling payloads. The 2500 HD doesn’t disappoint in that regard, as the cargo bed area offers 69.5 cubic feet of volume for transporting gear, materials, and equipment. The standard payload capacity for the 2500 HD WT trim is 3,625 pounds, but higher trims offer up to 4,200 pounds of payload capacity.

The 2500 HD is well-equipped for towing, with a maximum towing capacity of 17,400 pounds for the gasoline-powered pickup and an incredible 36,000 pounds for the diesel-powered Silverado when properly equipped. Numerous available amenities help make towing easier, such as a Trailering package, Hitch Guidance, a Hitch View camera, and an In-Vehicle Trailering app.

Innovative Infotainment, Convenience, and Safety Features

While the 2500 HD has a hard-working pedigree, it also offers many technological features that improve the driving experience. The standard infotainment features found in the 2500 HD include Chevrolet Connected Access capability, a 6-speaker audio system, wireless phone projection, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 3.5-inch monochromatic Driver Information Center, and the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with a 7-inch color touchscreen.

Other safety and convenience features incorporated into the 2500 HD include an HD Rear Vision Camera, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, Front Pedestrian Braking, and 6 airbags.
