Performance and Capabilities
Below is everything you need to know about the Silverado 2500's performance and capabilities.
Engine Options and Specifications
The 2025 Silverado 2500 offers two engine options. The standard 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V-8 gas engine produces 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. The 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 generates 470 horsepower and a whopping 975 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed Allison transmission. You can opt for the gas version for lower cost and solid performance, or the diesel for maximum pulling power and better mileage on long trips.
Towing and Payload Capacities
The 2025 Silverado 2500 offers significant pulling power. Gas models can tow up to 18,700 pounds with a gooseneck, fifth-wheel configuration, while diesel versions hit 22,070 pounds when properly equipped, which is ideal for hauling trailers, equipment, or RVs. Payload tops out at 3,689 pounds with the gas engine and 3,615 pounds with the diesel version, which is plenty for lumber, tools, or camping gear. Just remember that cab style, bed length, and added features will affect these numbers.
Fuel Efficiency
Although the EPA doesn't rate heavy-duty trucks, real tests show that the diesel models get about 15 mpg combined. Your mileage depends on your speed and what you're hauling. A recent highway run saw the 2025 Silverado 2500 Trail Boss diesel hit 20.4 mpg. These numbers decrease when you hook up a trailer. Although diesel is more expensive, it saves money if you often drive long distances or tow heavy loads. Gas engines are cheaper to buy and fix but consume more fuel under load. Selecting the correct engine will depend on how you use your truck.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
You can select between regular, double, or crew cab styles. The crew cab provides 43.03 and 40.1 inches of front and rear headroom and 44.5 and 43.4 inches of front and rear legroom. The truck beds are available in a standard version of 82.3 inches or a long option of 98.3 inches, both 71.4 inches wide with 21-inch sides. This truck perfectly combines ruggedness and comfort with smart controls, clever storage solutions, and a large touch screen for important vehicle information.
