2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is available in a wide range of configurations. There are three cab sizes — regular cab, extended cab (Double Cab), and crew cab — paired with a standard or a long cargo bed. Aside from that there are six trim levels: WT (Work Truck), Custom, LT, LTZ, ZR2 and High Country. Just note that you can't get every trim level with every bed and cab combination. 

Two engines are available, both connected to a 10-speed automatic and available with four-wheel drive. The standard 6.6-liter gas V8 makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, while the available 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel makes 470 hp and 975 lb-ft.Keep reading for our rundown of the Silverado 2500HD's powertrains and significant features and options.
