Let’s dive into the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado HD. Despite the recent mid-cycle refresh, the robust hauler and tower from GM won’t undergo major updates. However, with the addition of the off-road-oriented HD Trail Boss trim and some adjustments in available and standard features, the 2025 model year promises notable changes.
2025 Silverado HD New Design
In the 2025 lineup, Chevrolet introduces subtle changes to the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models. Front and rear parking sensors are now available on the Work Truck, Custom, and LT trims, while being standard on the ZR2. The Custom trim welcomes a new Black-Out package, the High Country now features standard adaptive cruise control, and the Midnight Edition receives fresh 20-inch wheels.
Under the hood, Standard on the Silverado 1500, 2500HD and 3500HD is a 6.6-liter V-8 gasoline engine, delivering a robust performance with 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. While this gas engine proves capable, the optional Duramax diesel 6.6-liter V-8 takes the lead with an impressive 470 horsepower and a whopping 975 pound-feet of torque, effectively doubling the max tow rating of the gas engine. Both powertrains are coupled with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, offering flexibility with rear- or four-wheel drive options, and compatibility with either single or dual rear-wheel axles.
Chevy completes its Trail Boss lineup
The Silverado 1500 has long featured a Trail Boss model in its light-duty lineup. However, a notable shift occurs as Chevrolet introduces the off-road-oriented treatment to the Silverado HD for the first time. Drawing from the Z71 version, this adaptation incorporates suspension components and distinct black front and rear bumpers. The rugged exterior is further enhanced with exclusive 20-inch wheels and more aggressive tire options.
Although Chevy has shared only a single image of the new Silverado HD Trail Boss, it showcases red tow hooks and bedside decals. Anticipate interior details such as embroidered headrests and distinctive features. The heavy-duty Trail Boss finds its foundation in LT and LTZ models, with an estimated starting price of approximately $51,000 and $60,000 for the 2025 model year, respectively. Factoring in the Trail Boss treatment, an additional cost of $4,000 to $5,000 is expected for each model.
While the Trail Boss HD steals the spotlight, the other updates for the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD may not generate as much excitement. Notable changes include the standardization of front and rear park assist on the ZR2, with optional availability for the WT, Custom, and LT trims. The High Country trim now features standard adaptive cruise control. Additionally, the Custom trim introduces the Black-Out Package option, and the Midnight Edition receives a stylish upgrade with new 20-inch wheels.
