Engine Specs, Towing Capacity, and MPG Ratings

The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 both offer a versatile lineup of powertrains designed to meet a wide range of needs, whether you're focused on fuel economy, towing power, or everyday drivability. At the heart of the lineup is the 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder that surprises with its strength by delivering 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine offers confident acceleration, a towing capacity of up to 9,500 pounds, and solid efficiency with EPA-estimated ratings of 18 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.  Craving a little more muscle?  The 5.3-liter V8 steps up with 355 horsepower and increases towing capability to 11,300 pounds. This engine is a great middle ground, offering robust performance with fuel economy ratings of 16 mpg city and 20 mpg highway.  At the top of the gas-powered range is the 6.2-liter V8, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powerhouse delivers 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, giving it maximum towing strength at 13,300 pounds, while still maintaining the same fuel economy figures as the 5.3-liter V8.  For those prioritizing fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-six is a standout. Producing 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, it matches the 6.2-liter gas engine in towing capacity at 13,300 pounds and delivers excellent fuel efficiency at between 21 and 26 mpg combined.

Interior Comparison

Both model years of the Chevy Silverado are for sale on our lot in Sacramento, and they each showcase a well-appointed and surprisingly roomy interior, even in the two-door regular cab configuration. Opting for the double cab or crew cab significantly boosts rear-seat legroom and interior storage options, making them a great fit for work crews or families on the go.  The entry-level WT (Work Truck) trim keeps things simple and durable with easy-to-clean materials and practical features designed for utility-focused buyers coming in needing a more budget-friendly price. However, as you move up the trim ladder into options like the LTZ and High Country, the cabin transforms into a more refined space. Here, you'll find available features like leather-appointed seating, a power-sliding rear window, dual-zone climate control, a large center console with integrated storage, and optional heated and ventilated front seats that bring luxury to the worksite or daily drive.  On the tech side, the Silverado 1500 remains unchanged from 2024 to 2025, and comes standard with a 7-inch infotainment system that includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims offer a more immersive experience with a massive 13.4-inch touchscreen, a fully digital 12.3-inch driver information center, and available upgrades such as a seven-speaker Bose premium audio system, wireless device charging, and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

Trim Options

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 continues to build on its reputation as one of the most versatile and capable full-size pickups on the market, now with subtle updates that enhance tech integration and safety features across the lineup. Still offered in nine distinct trim levels just like the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, the 2025 Silverado 1500 remains highly customizable, with a choice of rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, three cab styles (regular, double, and crew), three bed lengths, and four available engines.  Let's review them all here.At the base level, the Work Truck (WT) now comes standard with the renamed TurboMax engine (previously the 2.7L Turbo), producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. It features vinyl seating, a 7-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, black bumpers, and steel wheels, making it a practical choice for fleet and work-focused buyers.  The Custom trim adds a bit more flair and comfort, offering 20-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, cruise control, and a six-speaker audio system, all bundled in the double cab configuration.  The LT trim represents a great value, upgrading to 17-inch wheels, a 13.4-inch high-resolution touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, heated front seats and steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. For 2025, all LT trims now come standard with enhanced Google Built-In services and more connected safety options.  The RST amps up the sportiness with 18-inch bright silver wheels, body-color bumpers, fog lights, and optional upgrades like a 6.2L V8 engine or sunroof. Interior features mirror the LT but with a more athletic design approach.  For off-road enthusiasts, the Custom Trail Boss includes standard four-wheel drive, Z71 off-road suspension, hill descent control, skid plates, and a factory-installed 2-inch lift. It also includes the trailering package, making it trail-ready straight from the showroom.  The LT Trail Boss takes things further by adding premium touches like a Bose audio system, remote start, dual exhaust, and available leather seating, while retaining all the off-road hardware.  Moving up, the LTZ focuses on luxury, equipped with the 5.3L V8, 20-inch polished wheels, leather-appointed heated and ventilated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, and power-folding mirrors. For 2025, LTZ also adds upgraded voice command functions and enhanced adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go.  At the top, the High Country trim delivers premium comfort and technology with features like 22-inch wheels, authentic wood interior trim, Bose premium audio, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, HD Surround Vision, wireless phone charging, built-in Google Maps, and advanced towing tech.
