The CarConnection review pros have long been letting readers in on their honest opinions about today’s offerings. They claimed post-test drive that the 2025 Silverado is “Big, brash, and immensely capable”, with a welcome amount of space and cool extra features. This category stands proud and tall and can be had in four-door extended, regular, and crew cab configurations, along with two available bed sizes. The Silverado’s muscular style has paved the way for it to become a resilient favorite, as it arrives on the scene prepared for the tough jobs.
LT and higher trims are equipped with a nice 13.4-inch touchscreen. Google built-in technology allows you to bypass Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The base-level 6.6-liter gas V8 cranks out 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, with the turbodiesel stepping things up massively to 470 horses and 975 lb-ft. This configuration provides the secret sauce for a 36,000-lb towing capacity, rendering it heavy-duty enough for the quarry or cross-country haul.
The 10-speed automatic transmission proved to be adequately up to the task, firing off rapid and precise shifts. Crew-cab trucks offer massive interiors with excellent space for five or six. This crew appreciated how the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD wore its bulk on its sleeve, brandishing a hood nearly five feet off the ground. The grille now features headlight trim that offers an appealing and modern look. The unique grille treatments are good at visually distinguishing each trim.
The Custom and Base WT models have a simple dash with a 7.0-inch touchscreen, with appealing buttons and innovative spots for small-item storage. Top-shelf versions such as the High Country boast luxurious wood trim and real leather, offering an appealing place to spend time. The ZR2 model offers amenities such as the American Expedition Vehicles-built add-on, which includes suspension components and Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers.
Beefy 35-inch mud tires tie the outfit together, along with a super-powered locking rear differential. The 6.6-liter turbodiesel is the way to go if demanding towing has a heavy presence in your daily regimen and moves with a dignified authority. It may not be an all-out drag racer, but it never encounters a problem while keeping up with the pace, even while lugging an XXL trailer.
When the all-important comfort factor was under scrutiny, this review crew gave high marks for the bed utility along with welcoming front and rear seats. When the air begins to get crisp and show signs of fall’s return, we sure hope tailgating is on your mind! The Silverado’s built-in tailgate speakers will ensure that you’re the provider of the best mobile party to root for your favorite team in style.
