The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 ushers in the current fourth-generation pickup’s seventh model year, which doesn’t include any major updates or changes to the truck. GM Authority has learned that the 2025 model year of Chevrolet’s full-size pickup is now officially en route to dealerships.
Earlier this year, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 was expected to occur in August. Now that deliveries are under way in late September, it appears that the estimate for when production would begin was accurate.
Furthermore, official fuel economy ratings are out for the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500, and they’re largely unchanged from the previous model year. The Silverado’s combined fuel economy ratings range from 15 mpg for the ZR2 up to 26 mpg for the Duramax-equipped Silverado with 2WD.
The General is said to be engaged in the development of a PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) version of the Chevy Silverado and a GMC Sierra PHEV. While GM is bringing back PHEVs in response to somewhat lower-than-expected EV demand, and the two aforementioned trucks are said to be part of a “crash program” to launch hybrids ASAP, they’re not ready yet for the 2025 model year.
While a new lineup of powerplants is expected when the next generation of the Silverado 1500 arrives, the 2025 Chevy Silverado is motivated by the same engine choices as the 2024 model year. These include the new-for-2024 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine developing 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque and the TurboMax-branded turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
Other available powerplants include the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, and the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, providing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The GM 8-speed automatic transmission is matched to the TurboMax engine, while the GM 10-speed automatic transmission handles gear swaps for the diesel and V8 powerplants, and both 2WD and 4WD configurations are available.
The GM T1 platform will continue to provide structure for the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500. Production of the truck will take place at three facilities, including the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana, the GM Oshawa plant in Canada, and the GM Silao plant in Mexico.

That blue color is sharp.
yea, but you can’t get it anymore. Glacier Blue color was eliminated 1/2 way thru 2024 production year. (Feb. 2024) What was GM thinking? They now have Riptide blue for 2025, but it is not as sharp looking as the Glacier blue was.
I was told by my dealer that Riptide Blue was not being built as it was under constraint. I had to order the truck in Black. I wish Chevy would have kept the Lakeshore Blue, as it was very attractive.
It’s seven model years in, and still looks sharp. I am not a big fan of the chrome fronts on these trucks, but the body color and black grills look good. It will be interesting to see where GM goes from here. I hope it’s more “Square” and less rounded.
That interior pictured above would be great if instead of a goofy console shifter there were two more drink holders. My GMT-900 had a bench seat with fold-down armrest with 3-cup holders and that’s great, 4 would be even better.
The shifter belongs on the column.
I have 3 cupholders in mine…I prefer the bench seat rather than the console.
your comparing a bench seat to bucket seats. Not the same thing. There are 4 cupholders in the center console. Look closer.
I mean, space wise the Bench seat has more on top and bottom.
