If you’re in the market for a new pickup, Chevrolet has quite the lineup for 2025. In particular, you’ll want to take a look at the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, whose powerful engine, bold design, and impressive tech make it the ideal choice for your next truck.
Performance and Efficiency
Power is the key to every Silverado, but the 2500 HD’s 6.6L V8 gas engine brings it to the next level. Capable of generating up to 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, this engine, along with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensures the 2500 HD can handle any job, any time. When properly equipped, the gasoline-powered 2500 HD can tow up to 17,400 lbs, making it perfect for all of your towing and hauling needs.
Design
The 2500 HD’s exterior is bold and unforgettable. 17-inch steel painted silver wheels, a black front bumper, and black beltline moldings give the truck an unmistakable silhouette, while halogen headlamps and LED taillights light up any road, regardless of the conditions. Cargo tie-downs come standard, as well as Chevy’s Trailering Package, which includes a trailer hitch, trailering hitch platform, and hitch guidance technology.
On the inside, a 40/20/40 split-bench front seat contains under-seat storage that lets you store more on the go, while rear 60/40 split-bench seats bring the total passenger capacity up to five. Front and rear rubberized-vinyl floor mats are available, as well as carpeted floor coverings and a Jet Black cloth seat trim. Rear air vents and single-zone climate control have also been included for your comfort and convenience.
Technology
When it comes to the latest and greatest tech, Chevrolet always delivers. A 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen comes standard and includes Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 System, while OnStar Basics services are also included and feature real time traffic and navigation assistance. A front 12V power outlet will help you keep your electronics charged up, while support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay lets you play your favorite music and podcasts.
In terms of safety and driver assistance features, an HD rear camera comes standard, as well as Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning. Chevy also includes Teen Driver software to encourage safe driving habits for teens by providing an in-vehicle report card. The software also activates certain safety systems, provided the vehicle is equipped with them, when a teen-driver key fob is detected.
Whether you’re looking for a workhorse that can handle the heaviest of payloads or your next family truck, the Silverado 2500 HD is a great choice. If you’re ready to see everything it has to offer, visit us at Steet Ponte Chevrolet in Herkimer, NY to browse our inventory, schedule a test drive, and take home a new Silverado today!

Experience Versatility in the 2025 Chevy Trax
The 2025 Chevy Trax packs a lot of functionality into its subcompact frame. This dynamic, versatile Chevy SUV is a nimble and capable city commuter with enough utility and storage space to meet the needs of families and weekend adventurers.
Energetic Powertrain
The Trax is motivated by a peppy ECOTEC 1.2-liter turbo engine bolted to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers a spirited 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque through the vehicle’s front-wheel drive drivetrain.
The Trax’s powertrain also offers impressive efficiency, something that is a key consideration when buying a modern SUV. EPA fuel economy estimates have the 2025 Trax rated for 30 mpg combined (28 mpg in the city, and 32 mpg on the highway).
Comfortable, Capable Cabin
The Chevy Trax design ethos is all about delivering comfort, capability, and versatility. A 6-way manual adjustable driver’s seat comes as standard for enhanced comfort behind the wheel. All passengers have plenty of space in the roomy cabin of this compact SUV, with 41.9 inches of front legroom and 38.7 inches of rear legroom on offer. A relaxing interior ambiance is assured thanks to an active noise cancellation system that helps to block and absorb outside sounds and dampen vibrations.
The Trax also offers ample cargo volume alongside this generous passenger space. An impressive 25.6 cubic feet of cargo volume is on offer with all seats in place for the full 5-passenger capacity. Fold the rear seats down, and this expands to a cavernous 54.1 cubic feet of cargo volume, meaning the Trax offers space for whatever you need, from grocery shopping to loading up for an adventurous road trip.
Fully Connected Infotainment Technology
As well as being spacious, the cabin of the Trax is also a fully connected, modern command center. A contemporary infotainment system can be accessed through the standard 8-inch or available 11-inch diagonal color touchscreen interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, allowing seamless integration of compatible smartphones. Sync your devices to access your favorite apps and enjoy your favorite music through the Trax’s standard 4-speaker or available 6-speaker audio system.
Peace of Mind on the Road
Modern automotive technology also powers a suite of comprehensive safety and driver assistance systems. The 2025 Trax comes with Chevy Safety Assist as standard, which provides six advanced safety features bundled together. Ultimate peace of mind on the road is assured, thanks to:
- Forward collision alert
- Front pedestrian braking
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane keep assist
- Following distance indicator
- IntelliBeam high beam assist
Contact Street-Ponte Chevrolet in Herkimer, NY today and arrange a test drive of the Chevy Trax. Our family-owned dealerships have proudly served the drivers of the Central New York area for over 65 years.
At Steet Ponte Chevy, giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do. This August, our dealerships came together for our 2nd Annual Backpack & School Supplies Drive—and we’re thrilled to share the impact it made!
With generous donations collected across all eight of our dealerships, we were able to purchase and deliver over 500 backpacks, each filled with essential school supplies, to local elementary students. Our goal was simple: to help students in need start the school year strong and on the right foot—and thanks to our team and community, we did just that.
One Friday, a dedicated group of our employees rolled up their sleeves and spent the day packing the backpacks with everything a student might need:
- Notebooks
- Folders
- Pencils
- Crayons
- A ruler
- Glue sticks
- Erasers
- Highlighters
- A pencil pouch
Each dealership in our Auto Group then proudly donated the backpacks to local schools in their community:
- Steet Ponte Chevy (Herkimer): 124 backpacks to Herkimer, CVA, and Frankfort Elementary Schools
We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful for everyone who contributed to make this initiative possible. Education is one of the most powerful tools for a brighter future, and we’re honored to support local students as they head back into the classroom this school year.
Here’s to another successful drive—and to continuing our tradition of giving back to the communities we serve!
At Steet Ponte Chevy, we’re always excited to get involved in our community—and this past weekend, we had the chance to sponsor not just one, but two incredible local events!
First up was the KRockathon Reboot, held at Chevy Court at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse, NY. This legendary event brought fans together for an unforgettable day of music, energy, and entertainment. We were proud to be part of such a well-loved tradition and connect with so many attendees in the heart of Central New York.
That same weekend, we also supported a brand-new event close to home—Stone Soup American Bistro & Beer Garden’s First Annual “Motor Heads for Mental Health Awareness” Block Party. This community celebration featured a car show, live entertainment, a bounce house, a farmer’s market, and an after-party at the Beer Garden. Even better, the event helped raise awareness for such an important cause—mental health.
Sponsoring both of these events reflects what matters most to us at Steet Ponte Chevy: supporting our community, celebrating local businesses, and coming together for fun and meaningful experiences.
We’re grateful to have been part of two such successful events in one weekend, and we look forward to continuing to support more community happenings throughout the year!
Discover the 2025 Chevy Equinox: Family-Friendly SUV
Welcome to a terrific driving experience in the versatile, capacious, and tech-rich 2025 Chevy Equinox. With its impressive driving dynamics and sturdy powertrain, it is more than ready for your daily commutes, long road trips, and everything in between.
1. Exterior Details
Boasting a contemporary and upscale exterior design, the Equinox was created to make a statement wherever it goes. It comes equipped with solar-absorbing rear side windows, deep-tinted rear glass, LED headlights and taillights, and heated power mirrors. IntelliBeam also comes standard, helping to turn your Chevy’s high beams on and off depending on the current traffic.
Whether you prefer a single or two-tone exterior, the new Equinox has a shade for you. Options include Cacti Green, Sterling Gray Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic with Mosaic Black Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat with Summit White.
2. Interior
The interior of the 2025 Equinox is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. It comfortably seats five passengers, with 29.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. When you need extra cargo space, fold down the rear seats to get an impressive 63.5 cubic feet of space. Notable features include driver and front passenger seatback map pockets, active noise cancellation, rear center armrest, cabin air filter, and rear window defogger.
An 11.3-inch infotainment display, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allows for easy access to all your desired smartphone apps. An 11-inch digital gauge cluster provides reconfigurable options to let you customize it depending on your preferences.
3. Safety and Reliability
A suite of the latest sensor-based systems is integrated throughout the Chevy Equinox, including pedestrian and bicyclist braking, following distance indicator, passenger sensing system, and lane keeping assistance with lane departure warning. Forward collision alert with automated emergency braking alerts drivers of possible crashes and applies the brakes in certain circumstances. Blind-spot alert with rear cross-traffic alert will warn you of an obstacle in your blind areas when changing lanes or reversing.
4. Performance
Each of the 2025 Equinox trims is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain generating 175 horsepower. In front-wheel drive, the turbo pairs with a continuously variable automatic, but opting for all-wheel drive gets you an 8-speed automatic transmission instead.
The drive mode selector allows you to customize your vehicle’s performance to suit different driving conditions. Automatic vehicle hold lets you bring your Equinox to a stop and remove your foot from the brake while it holds the vehicle in place under certain circumstances.
If you need a dependable and powerful family-friendly SUV with an attractive price tag, the 2025 Equinox is a smart choice. Head over to Steet-Ponte Chevrolet in Herkimer, NY, to learn more about its incredible features and schedule a test drive.

5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2025 Chevy Blazer
Families with grown children need extra rear-row legroom and a bigger cargo area. The 2025 Chevy Blazer offers both while also adding a stunning center display, upmarket in-cabin amenities, and other features that drivers love.
It Has a Roomy Interior
The Blazer has seating for five passengers in its two rows, with ample room to accommodate six-footers. The front row features 41 inches of legroom and 39.8 inches of headroom, while the rear-row seats come with 39.6 inches of legroom and 38.6 inches of headroom.
With the rear seats in place and everyone comfortably seated, the SUV can haul up to 30.5 cubic feet of cargo. This means no more stressing over luggage before a family trip; the Blazer has room for it all. When trying to fit a bigger payload, such as furniture or camping gear, the SUV’s rear seats can be folded to expand the available cargo volume to 64.2 cubic feet.
It Offers a Wealth of Creature Comforts
To make passengers feel right at home, the Blazer offers several standard comfort and convenience features. These include heated front seats, 8-way power adjustment for the driver, dual-zone automatic climate control, four USB ports, and a 6-speaker audio system. For an even more refined travel experience, buyers can upgrade the cabin by adding available ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, wireless phone charging, and a Bose premium 8-speaker audio system.
It Has a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System
All Blazer models come with Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus technology, which includes a 10.2-inch HD color touchscreen mounted on the center of the dashboard. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enabling passengers to stream content using their smartphones from the comfort of their seats. The infotainment system also has Bluetooth, built-in natural voice recognition capability, and cloud-connected personalization for vehicle settings.
It Has a Keyless Entry Feature
The Blazer comes with a convenient keyless entry feature, so drivers don’t have to fumble with buttons or dig through their pocket for the key fob. As long as the fob is within range, the SUV automatically unlocks when the driver approaches and locks again when they walk away. The Blazer also features an engine start/stop button, so drivers don’t need to use the key for ignition, further enhancing convenience.
It Features a Driver Mode Selector
A standard driver mode selector allows the SUV’s performance to be optimized for current driving conditions. FWD models offer Tour, Sport, Off-Road, Snow/Ice, and Tow/Haul modes, while AWD models add a fifth option: All-Wheel Drive mode.
Everyday practicality, long-range comfort, and cutting-edge convenience technology come standard in the Chevy Blazer. Make it yours today at Steet Ponte Chevrolet in Herkimer, NY.
Our team from Steet Ponte Chevy in Herkimer had an absolute blast at this year’s annual Steet Ponte company picnic at Enchanted Forest Water Safari!
We love that every summer we get to spend a day out of the showroom and into the Adirondack sunshine, surrounded by co-workers, friends, and family. Employees and their immediate families enjoyed full-day park access, unlimited slides, and a buffet lunch featuring grilled favorites, corn on the cob, and of course — ice cream to cool off!
It’s an amazing tradition we’ve shared for more than 25 years, and we’re already counting down the days until next summer.
