Silverado 1500: Light-Duty Power with Heavy-Duty Capability

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a versatile full-size pick-up offering up to 13,300 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. This makes it an excellent choice for drivers in Gallatin or Franklin who need a capable daily driver that can also manage heavy weekend projects or trailers. Its range of engine options ensures you can tailor performance to your lifestyle:

Available Silverado 1500 Engines

  • Turbocharged 2.7-liter I4: 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque
  • 5.3-liter V8: 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque
  • 6.2-liter V8: 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque
  • 3.0-liter Turbodiesel I6: 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque

When paired with available trailering technologies such as the integrated trailer brake controller, hitch guidance with view, and trailer sway control, the Silverado 1500 delivers confidence whether you're towing a boat to the lake or hauling gear through the Tennessee hills.

Silverado 2500 HD: Built for the Big Jobs

The 2025 Silverado 2500 HD steps up to a higher class of performance, offering up to 22,500 pounds of towing capacity with the available 6.6-liter Duramax Turbodiesel engine. This heavy-duty model is built for contractors, farmers, and drivers in Springfield who require serious pulling strength and advanced capability.

The standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine delivers 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, while the available 6.6-liter Duramax Diesel V8 boosts output to 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission for seamless shifting under heavy load. The Silverado 2500 HD also includes advanced towing aids such as trailer side blind zone alert, adaptive cruise control with trailering, and 14 available camera views to make hitching and hauling easier than ever.

Silverado 3500 HD: Maximum Towing Power

For drivers who need top-tier towing performance, the Silverado 3500 HD is Chevrolet's most capable truck. Properly equipped, it can tow up to an astonishing 36,000 pounds. This makes it the go-to model for drivers in Murfreesboro and surrounding areas who handle heavy trailers, fifth-wheel campers, or commercial-grade loads on a daily basis.

Like the 2500 HD, the 3500 HD offers the same 6.6-liter gas and diesel engines, but it also includes dual rear wheel (DRW) configurations for optimal stability under extreme towing conditions. The truck's robust frame, advanced suspension, and available gooseneck hitch setup make it an ideal choice for hauling the heaviest loads with ease.

Trailering Technology and Support

Every Silverado in the lineup offers a suite of towing technologies designed to simplify the process and improve safety. Chevrolet's trailering system includes features such as Hitch View, Trailer Length Indicator, and Jack-Knife Alert. These systems provide visual assistance, helping drivers line up their hitch, monitor trailer position, and stay in control even in tight spaces or heavy traffic. Additionally, the myChevrolet Mobile App with Trailering System allows owners to run trailer light tests, track maintenance, and manage towing data directly from their smartphone.

Routine maintenance from the Service Center at Serra Chevrolet Buick GMC also helps ensure your Silverado stays in top condition for every haul. With expert technicians and certified OEM parts, you can tow with confidence, knowing your truck is prepared for every challenge.
