2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country Crew Cab Pickup Exterior

Average

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 stays true to the classic pickup truck formula thanks to its V8 power and capable towing and hauling abilities. But a rougher ride over bumps and poor outward visibility make the Silverado hard to recommend over its Ram and Ford rivals.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

Updated: 9/22/2026

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is Chevy's full-size pickup truck, sitting in between the smaller midsize Colorado and the more robust, more capable heavy-duty Silverado lineup. There's also an all-electric Silverado EV, which is reviewed separately. The Silverado 1500 is offered in a variety of trim levels and engine choices to appeal to any truck buyer and budget, from a basic work vehicle to off-road-capable models and a luxurious top-of-the-line trim. This class of trucks is extremely competitive, so be sure to check out our Expert Rating to confirm how the Silverado 1500 stacks up against the competition.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Average

6.0

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

5.5/10

How does the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 drive? We tested a Silverado crew cab in the High Country trim with the 5.3-liter V8 and four-wheel drive. Acceleration and braking are sufficient for daily driving or towing. Our test truck covered 60 mph in about 7 seconds from a standstill at our test track. Around town, the transmission shifts smoothly and makes the most of the engine's low-end torque.

The truck tracks straight on the highway, but the steering effort is a bit too light. Handling is secure, and body roll is effectively held in check as you navigate turns. But midcorner bumps can upset the Silverado pretty easily, and the ride is worse than what's provided by Ford and Ram. It can be busy and bouncy.

Visibility is another issue for the Silverado. The truck's high hood blocks your view of nearby obstacles or objects, and the resolution of the parking camera is a bit low-resolution. On the upside, the Silverado offers the the SuperCruise hands-free highway driver assist system. It's great for making long drives or slogs through congested traffic less fatiguing.

Comfort

6.1/10

How comfortable is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500? The Silverado has plenty of space for adults in its crew-cab configuration. This is particularly evident in the back seat, which has massive legroom to offer. Some models sit high off the ground, but large door openings and proper seat positioning make overall accessibility a positive experience. The seats themselves aren't quite as plush as the seats in the F-150 or Ram 1500, yet there's enough padding and support to keep you comfortable on long drives. Another upside to the truck's comfort is the strong heating and effective cooling capability of the front seats, if equipped.

Most of the Silverado 1500's controls are easy to use, with clear buttons and a swift touchscreen. We also like that the climate controls are physical buttons and knobs, though they are quite small. Noise and vibration are typical for a truck until you get aggressive with the throttle, at which point it gets a bit unpleasant. The diesel engine is surprisingly only slightly worse in this regard and, therefore, pretty good for a diesel.

In-cabin tech

8.4/10

How’s the tech? Technology is a strong point in the Silverado. An available 13.4-inch touchscreen offers a wide range of capability without confusing the user, and the hi-res screen responds quickly to clicks and swipes. Google integration is also here, with Google Maps and the voice assistant handling those duties more than capably. However, to keep those functions powered will require a data subscription after an initial free period and that complication is disappointing. Thankfully, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration comes standard, and both looked great on the massive screen.

Storage & cargo

5/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Silverado provides lots of volume to store your stuff, but not much in the way of bins or partitions to keep it all in place. Specifically, the fixed center consoles of the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 provide far more thoughtful storage. You also have to turn to the dealer-installed accessories catalog and the Interior Convenience package to get the sort of hidden backseat storage that comes standard in the Ram and Ford.

Value

4.6/10

Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good value? The Silverado isn't outrageously expensive, but it is priced higher than its key rivals without offering any advantages in features, style or interior quality. The cabin design of the top trims might be better than the one found on lower ones, but buttons and dashboard plastics are similar: sturdy but somewhat cheap-looking. Chevy's warranty coverage is average, though you do get the first scheduled maintenance for free.

Towing & hauling

7/10

How is the towing and hauling? Like other trucks, the Silverado's towing ability differs by engine, body style, axle ratio and other parameters. It maxes out at 13,300 pounds with the Duramax diesel engine, with the 6.2-liter V8 just behind at 13,200 pounds. This falls just short of Ford for class-best, but in real life, you'll have no trouble pulling most trailers with the Silverado 1500.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Silverado High Country we tested had the 5.3-liter V8 and 4WD, which earns an EPA-estimated 17 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We found that number to be reasonably achievable in the real world. Although there is a more efficient turbocharged four-cylinder base engine, the Silverado's best fuel economy comes from the available diesel-fueled six-cylinder, which offers up to an estimated 26 mpg combined.

X factor

7/10

Full-size trucks such as the Silverado aren't necessarily fun to drive. But with its commanding view of the road, lots of towing power, and brutish front-end styling, the Silverado can put a smile on your face. Or it'll be too brutish and not the personality you want to project. Let's call it polarizing.

Deals & Buying Tips for the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for October

Shoppers still have real leverage on the 2025 Silverado 1500, with remaining new inventory sitting far longer than average and total savings stacking to about $5,800.

You can now save about $5,800 total on a new Silverado 1500. Buyers are already paying about $4,300 below MSRP on average, and Chevrolet adds a $1500 customer cash rebate on top. The High Country looks like the standout deal with nearly 8.8% off MSRP before rebates.
There are 357 new Silverado 1500s in inventory nationwide, so supply is tight and no fresh 2025 shipments are coming. The RST and Work Truck are the easiest trims to find, while LTZ, ZR2, High Country, and both Trail Boss trims are much scarcer.
Remaining new inventory is moving very slowly at 372 median days to turn, versus 36 days for the average new vehicle. That usually helps your negotiating position, but act fast if you want a rare trim or color.
If you finance, Chevrolet is offering a promotional rate as low as 2.9% for 48 months for qualified buyers. That is far below typical market rates, so compare the low APR offer against the cash rebate to see which saves you more.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim level differences

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup available in nine trim levels: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ and High Country. Like most full-size trucks, the Silverado is offered in varying cab and bed configurations, including a two-door regular cab, a four-door extended cab (Double Cab), and a four-door crew cab with full-size rear doors and generous rear seat room. Depending on cab selection, the three available bed sizes are an 8-foot-long bed, a 6.5-foot bed and a shorter 5-foot-8-inch bed. Compare the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim levels in-depth.

Which Silverado 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?

With nine distinct models and four engines to choose from, the Silverado 1500 gives shoppers plenty of options to suit their particular needs. For many, the midrange LT will be a good fit, offering a much nicer interior than the basic Work Truck while forgoing all-terrain features and luxury items that may not be needed.

Competitors to consider

There's a four-way tug-of-war at the top of the full-size pickup class. The Ford F-150 leads in sales and in Edmunds' rankings thanks to its hefty 13,500-pound tow capacity and clever features that include an onboard generator. The Silverado 1500 comes close with its tow rating of up to 13,300 pounds, and they both beat the 2025 Ram 1500, with its max of 11,550 pounds. Even so, we rate the Ram higher for its smoother ride quality and refined interior. The Toyota Tundra has a similar suspension design with corresponding ride-quality advantages, and it's also available with a hybrid powertrain.

Edmunds spotlight: Smart use of technology

The Silverado 1500 gets a shoutout for its use of technology. The infotainment system is available with a large 13.4-inch touchscreen and benefits from easy-to-read graphics and quick responses to user inputs. On LT and higher trim levels, drivers can leverage the truck's Google-based voice recognition system to make infotainment interactions easier and less distracting. Features such as trailer tire pressure sensors and auxiliary rearview cameras make towing safer and reduce stress, while GM's Super Cruise allows for hands-free highway driving. The Ford F-150 is the only other truck with this level of driving automation.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 10A)

This is my first diesel truck. I went with the 3.0 Duramax. I was concerned it would not have enough power as I pull a lot of construction trailers. I am so pleased with this truck. I might not accelerate as fast as the 6.2 gas motor, but nobody needs to accelerate like that in the first place. Especially 1 pollen trailers. This is a very smooth truck and I am averaging above 18 mpg with …
