The Chevy Silverado is a powerhouse workhorse that can get you around the greater Kansas City area, tackle any job, or leave pavement behind for off-road adventures. Rugged and dependable, the Silverado has more than earned its reputation. The only problem you’ll run into with the Chevy Silverado is picking between the three models and the several trims they offer.
Do you want a vehicle that can handle lighter jobs or tow the heaviest loads? Do you want a Silverado that will cruise the highways or one that will tackle all of the different types of terrain? Do you want a standard, comfortable ride, or one that’s outfitted with luxury comforts? And, perhaps most importantly, what’s your budget?
No matter what you need, there’s a Chevy Silverado just for you. In this Chevy Silverado comparison guide, we’ll go over the key specs and features of each model and trim to help you narrow down your search. Read on to find out which Silverado is right for your needs.
2025 Chevy Silverado 1500
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is a full-size, light-duty truck that can be one of dozens in a fleet or a one-of-a-kind ride. The base engine, a 2.7L 4-cylinder worth 310 horsepower, is able to tow up to 9,500 lbs. comfortably. However, there is an available 6.2L V-8 worth 420 horsepower if you need a little extra oomph, or you can opt for the available 3.0L Duramax Turbo diesel engine for the heaviest duty jobs and the max towing capacity of 13,300 lbs.
While rugged as all get out, the cabin is also a comfortable ride with some nice tech features that are sure to entertain and keep you connected when you’re on the job or on the go. There’s also a Silverado EV, but we’ll review that separately to keep things from getting too confusing.
