The 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD: Power for the Toughest Jobs
Powertrain Options
With its hefty 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft of torque, the 6.6L V8 serves as the Silverado 3500 HD’s standard powerplant and provides more than enough muscle for any task. There’s also an available 470-horsepower turbo-diesel version of the engine that ups torque to a staggering 975 lb.-ft, which allows the truck to sprint from 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds.
Both motors are mated to an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission with auto grade braking for aiding in bringing the vehicle to a stop and preserving its brakes. Its available integrated power take-off feature turns the engine’s output into a convenient source of energy for your tools while you’re out in the field.
Off-Road Performance
The Silverado 3500 HD comes standard with an independent front suspension and stabilizer bars, giving it excellent articulation for overcoming rough, uneven terrain. In addition to being fitted with a traction-enhancing automatic locking rear differential, every trim offers a rugged and dependable 4-wheel-drive system. The system is complemented by an electronic 2-speed transfer case that maximizes control in a variety of environments.
If you’re planning to tackle especially tough trails, you’ll want to opt for the available Z71 Off-Road Package. Selecting it gets you a beefed-up suspension with Rancho twin-tube shock absorbers, reinforced skid plates, and hill descent control.
Towing and Hauling
While the base WT trim of the lineup enables a towing capacity of well over 14,000 pounds, turbo-diesel variants can pull a whopping 36,000 pounds. Payload capacities are similarly impressive, ranging from about 4,500 pounds to more than 7,200 pounds. Constructed with high-strength steel, the Silverado 3500 HD’s bed features 12 tie-downs and offers up to 83.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
Interior and Amenities
The Silverado 3500 HD’s available configurations include a 3-seat regular cab, 6-seat double cab, and 5- or 6-seat crew cab. Whichever option you choose, passengers will enjoy roomy seating and top-notch creature comforts. Buyers can equip the cabin with heated front and rear seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and a wireless charging station. Optional leather upholstery further adds a luxurious touch.
As for infotainment, a 7- or 13.4-inch touchscreen grants access to smartphone integration and Bluetooth audio streaming. The system with the larger display is accompanied by support for SiriusXM satellite radio and Google Built in.
