The Chevy Silverado is one of GM’s most popular models, regularly ranking near the top of its segment with regard to sales volume. That includes both the light-duty Silverado 1500 and the heavy-duty Silverado HD. Now, it’s looking like the Chevy Silverado HD is showing particularly strong sales strength as of late, moving a record number of units last month.
While GM typically only reports quarterly sales figures, GM Authority has learned that Chevy delivered roughly 13,000 units of the Silverado HD during the month of May, 2025.
That’s some impressive sales volume, marking the Silverado HD’s best May retail performance since the 2007 calendar year. What’s more, GM offered relatively mild incentives during the month, further underlining the strong consumer demand for the heavy-duty Silverado pickup.
As GM Authority reported last month, Chevy Silverado HD deals for the month of May, 2025 included low-interest financing for the 2024 model year and 2025 model year, plus no payments for 90 days on 2025-model-year Silverado HD models. Customers were also offered $1,000 off both the 2024 and 2025 Silverado HD, while local market lease deals were offered for various 2025-model-year configurations, including the 2500 HD and 3500 HD.
As a reminder, the 2025 Chevy Silverado HD starts at $47,495 for the entry-level WT trim level, rising to $82,530 for the off-roader-spec ZR2 Bison. These prices include a destination freight charge of $2,195.
Last year, GM recorded a whopping 552,836 units sold for the Chevy Silverado, including both the Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD models. This figure was just under the 555,148 units sold the year prior in 2023. The Silverado’s best annual U.S. sales performance in the last 15 years was recorded in 2015 with 600,544 units sold.
The Chevy Silverado HD was refreshed for the 2024 model year, introducing new exterior styling, an overhauled interior, new interior features, the new Silverado HD ZR2, and an updated powertrain lineup as well. Engine options include the 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine and 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine.
Comments
That’s because people were trading in their half tons with bad motors and transmissions.
What a dumb comment. If that were the case, why would they buy another Chevy?
Because they have a different motor and transmission.
Touche
A Ford….please no thank you. A Dodge with a 6 banger, oh heck no. Won’t buy a foreign truck. Considering my 6.2 is toast and my retractable running boards bit the dust and replacement cost is $2,500 a side, Ram can’t get a Hemi under the hood fast enough for me.
Good luck with that Ram…They all have their share of issues, and the 1/2 ton Ram is very cheaply made. My SUbaru BRAT has bigger door hinges than they do.
Also, if you ever owned or drove a Chevy/GMC HD, why would you ever buy another 1/2 ton???
2500HD’s are to darn high off of the ground for us old people to get into. Plus, you can’t reach over the side of the bed and touch the bed floor. My 6.2 1500 has no problem pulling our skid steer and trailer.
Well, the REAL reason of the sales increase is because the Chevy HD is a well-built, functioning truck that doesn’t spend time in the shop, and have minimal recalls in comparison. I’ve read several statements about the many Ford’s being bought back via Lemon Law. I know in my area, the Chevy/GMC HD’s are running around everywhere, and you seldom see them at the dealership needing repairs, unless they’re diesels…
A couple of them haven’t even been in a service bay yet!
I own three 2023s. One with a transmission issue one with the engine issue and one that hasn’t had an issue except for a check engine light. I guess one out of three isn’t bad. I got rid of two Dodges’ and one Ford to buy these trucks. The Dodge trucks had transmission problems at approximately 160,000 MI / 180,000 MI and front end problems around 80,000 miles. The Ford had a fuel pump that went out at 225,000 MI front end ball joints at 230,000 MI at 325,000 miles a tree fell on it and that was the end of that. Compared to that my new Chevys aren’t doing all that well!
