Here Are 2025 Chevy Silverado HD Towing Capacities

Following the mid-cycle refresh debuted by the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD introduces the new 2025 Chevy Silverado HD Trail Boss package and several other changes, but mostly carries the 2024 model year’s features forward. When it comes to Silverado HD towing capacities, there are some updates for 2025, but these are notably small compared to the 2024 changes.

As a reminder, two powerplant options are offered for the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD. The standard engine equipped on most variants is the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine developing 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. In another change first introduced as part of the 2024 refresh, the Allison-branded 10-speed automatic transmission provides cog swaps as standard.

Optionally, the 2025 Silverado HD can be fitted with the 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine, which cranks out 470 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 975 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm. Before the refresh, the same engine developed only 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. The Allison-branded 10-speed automatic transmission used with the L8T is also paired with the L5P turbodiesel.

Now that we know what the truck is working with, let’s zoom in on the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD towing capacities:

Examining these figures, we can see only a few changes from the 2024 Silverado HD towing capacities. Several configurations of the 2500 HD have lost 10 pounds to 190 pounds of towing capacity compared to 2024 while using a gooseneck hitch or 5th wheel, while one configuration gains 80 pounds of capacity with the setup. The situation is largely the same for 3500 HD trucks using the gooseneck hitch.

The maximum 2025 Chevy Silverado HD towing capacity remains 36,000 pounds for the 3500 HD Regular Cab / Long Bed DRW (Dual Rear Wheel) configuration with 2WD, a gooseneck hitch, and the optional NHT Max Trailering package. The lowest capacity is 14,500 pounds for several 2500 HD variants with the L8T gasoline engine.

Meanwhile, the Silverado HD continues to be underpinned by a more capable variant of the GM T1 platform under the body panels. Two manufacturing facilities, the GM Flint plant in Michigan and the GM Oshawa plant in Canada, are utilized to produce the heavy-duty pickup truck model.
