The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is a heavy-duty pickup truck that can enhance all of your projects and every adventure. These seven key features represent the power and capabilities of the new Silverado 3500.
7 Key Features of the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD
1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine
The standard engine on the Silverado 3500 is a 6.6L V8 gas engine. This engine has a 3.73 rear axle ratio and capless fuel fill. The 6.6L V8 gas engine offers 401 horsepower at 5200 rpm, 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm, and a maximum towing capacity of 19,080 pounds.
2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine
Drivers looking for extreme performance often upgrade to the Silverado 3500’s available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel engine. The turbo-diesel engine provides a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds, along with 470 horsepower at 2800 rpm and 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm. The 6.6L Duramax engine has a 3.42 rear axle ratio and capped fuel fill.
3. 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
Both of the Silverado 3500’s high-powered engine options work alongside an electronically controlled Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. The Allison transmission improves your truck’s performance when towing or hauling heavy loads with its tow/haul mode, which decreases shift cycling to enhance engine cooling and provide more control.
4. Trailering Package
Since the Chevy Silverado 3500 is a popular truck for towing, it comes with a complete trailering package. This package includes:
- A trailer hitch
- A trailering hitch platform
- A 7-wire electrical harness
- A 7-pin sealed connector
On top of the trailering package, the new Silverado 3500 HD comes with Hitch Guidance. Hitch Guidance is a tech function that uses a rear vision camera to let you view your trailer and hitch from inside the truck’s cabin. It also shows you a centered guideline when you’re attaching the trailer to the hitch, allowing for perfect precision.
5. Under-Seat Storage
There’s no lack of interior storage in the Silverado 3500, thanks to its under-seat storage compartment. Just lift the seat bottoms on the 40/20/40 front bench to reveal the perfect place for tools, extra clothes, work boots, umbrellas, and more!
6. Durabed
The Chevy Silverado 3500 is made with a high-strength steel Durabed that’s built to take on any kind of cargo. The Durabed has twelve cargo tie-downs that are rated at 500 pounds per corner. This allows you to secure your heaviest items in place without worrying about them moving around during transport.
7. CornerStep Rear Bumper
One of the most distinct features of pickups in the Silverado lineup is the CornerStep rear bumper. The CornerStep rear bumper was designed to provide increased stability when you climb in and out of your cargo box. This bumper has open spaces on each corner with textured footpads inside for added traction.
