The road to true trucking capability and versatility starts with the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This half-ton of pure grit is offered in nine trims, each crafted to handle tough workdays and off-road fun. Let’s see what they’ve got, shall we?
1. WT
The WT is a master at turning hard work into just work. It’s got about everything you need from a work-spec truck. A torquey engine? The Turbomax delivers 430 pound-feet, enough to pull 9,500 pounds. Its bed? It’s made from roll-formed high-strength steel with class-leading cargo volume and 12 standard tie-downs.
2. Custom
The Custom model adds power to the features you use most, including the driver seat, outside mirrors, and the tailgate. It also gets EZ Lift Assist, which makes the tailgate so light even a kid could handle it. Other highlights include body-colored bumpers, a remote start system, and cargo bed lighting.
3. Custom Trail Boss
This trim turns the Custom into an off-road bruiser, with a two-inch factory suspension lift, skid plates, and a two-speed transfer case built for the rough stuff. Chunky 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires dig in, while an automatic rear locker keeps the power where it’s needed.
4. LT
Stepping to the LT unlocks several standard and optional quality-of-life upgrades, including heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, larger displays, and keyless open and start. If you’re after a daily driver that works as hard as it relaxes, the LT is your Silverado 1500.
5. RST
The looker of the lineup, the RST comes with a body-color front center grille bar, bumpers, and door handles. More notably, it’s the first model in the lineup that can be optioned with the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8.
6. LT Trail Boss
Love the comforts of the LT but want something that can ditch the pavement when an adventure calls? The LT Trail Boss is that something. It combines the everyday ease of the LT with the off-road muscle of the Custom Trail Boss.
7. LTZ
The LTZ doesn’t just add the ‘Z’ to the LT; it brings the goods. You’ve got leather seating surfaces, bucket seats, ventilation, wireless charging, a Bose premium sound system, the works. And with a 355-hp 5.3-liter V8 standard, it’s got the power to back it all up.
8. High Country
The ‘High’ in the High Country is a nod to the top-tier luxury packed inside. You’ll find premium leather seating surfaces with exclusive perforation and stitching patterns, real open-pore wood trim, and other trim-specific details that make it feel a cut above the rest.
9. ZR2
For hardcore wheeling, the ZR2 is the ultimate boss. It has Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear lockers, a lifted high-performance suspension, and a diesel engine.
