6 Innovative Features of the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500

1. TurboMax Engine

The Silverado 1500 has four powerful engine options, but the standard that’s included on every trim is a TurboMax engine. This engine provides 310 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. It’s paired with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission with powertrain-grade braking, cruise-grade braking, and tow/haul mode.


2. 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine

​The most ​robust engine option for the 2025 Silverado 1500 is a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine that’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces 305 horsepower at 3750 rpm and 495 lb.-ft. of torque at 2750 rpm. It’s a popular upgrade for drivers with heavy-duty trailering needs because it boosts your Silverado 1500’s towing capacity to 13,300 pounds.


3. Chevy Safety Assist

​Chevy Safety Assist is a high-tech safety function found in all new Silverado 1500 trims. This safety ​package consists of six different assistive driving functions that can prevent some of the most common causes of accidents. These functions include:

  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • IntelliBeam
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Front Pedestrian Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

When your truck encounters hazards ​on the road, Chevy Safety Assist uses audio and visual alerts ​warning you to take corrective action. If you cannot change your course of direction or apply the brakes, Chevy Safety Assist activates your truck’s hard braking to avoid or reduce the severity of a collision.


4. Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System

​You have smartphone integration inside the new Silverado 1500 through ​the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can use Bluetooth technology to sync your phone to the truck and use, control, or manage certain smartphone apps ​on your infotainment screen. You can also use voice command pass-through to make hands-free phone calls from behind the wheel.


5. StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System

The Silverado 1500 has a built-in StabiliTrak electronic stability control system that automatically enhances your control and prevents your truck from rolling over during emergency maneuvers. StabiliTrak activates when vehicle sensors detect a difference between your intended path and the direction in which your truck is heading. The StabiliTrak system also includes Trailer Sway Control, ​Hill Start Assist, and Traction Control.


6. Built-In Storage Options

There are several different storage options both inside and outside the ​Silverado 1500, including ​the under-seat storage compartment found beneath the front bench seat. For ​more ​cabin storage, you can flip up the seat bottoms on the back seat. For exterior storage, you always have the high-strength steel Durabed!
