What makes the Silverado 3500 stand out from other heavy-duty pickups on the market? The 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD has everything you could ask for in the perfect work truck, from a high-powered 6.6L V8 gas engine to innovative assistance features like Hitch Guidance.

7 Standout Features of the 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD

1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine

The standard engine on the 2025 Silverado 3500 is a 6.6L V8 gas engine. This engine yields a remarkable 401 horsepower at 5200 rpm with 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm.

2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 Engine

For increased performance, the Silverado 3500 has an optional 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine. This engine offers a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds with 470 horsepower at 2800 rpm and 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm.

3. Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission

Both of the Silverado 3500’s engine options are combined with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. This transmission is electronically controlled with overdrive and includes Tow/Haul mode to improve performance, shifting, and engine cooling when towing a heavy trailer or hauling a large load.

4. Under-Seat Storage

You may worry that a pickup truck only has exterior cargo space, but there’s plenty of cargo room inside the Silverado’s spacious cabin. The front bench has an under-seat storage compartment that’s perfect for work tools or travel essentials. You can also lift the rear bench’s seat bottoms up to add cargo space on the floor of your Silverado 3500.

5. Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System

Inside the new Silverado 3500, you’ll find a 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Connect your phone to the truck and use voice command pass-through to make and receive phone calls without taking your hands off the wheel. You can also use smartphone connectivity to listen to your personal music playlists on streaming options like Apple Music or Spotify.

6. OnStar Basics

The new Silverado 3500 comes with the OnStar Basics core safety package that includes real-time traffic updates, GPS navigation, built-in voice assistance, remote commands, and Automatic Crash Response. If your Silverado is in a severe collision, Automatic Crash Response connects you with an emergency advisor who can send help directly to your location.

7. Hitch Guidance

Hitch Guidance is a helpful digital feature that uses a rear vision camera to show your hitch and trailer on an in-cabin display. During the attachment process, Hitch Guidance shows a visual guideline for aligning the trailer and hitch perfectly. You can then use Hitch Guidance to view your trailer and hitch while driving.
