2025 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is available in regular-cab, Double Cab (a four-door extended cab with a small back seat) and crew-cab configurations. All three cab styles are available with a long cargo bed, but the crew cab comes standard with a shorter bed to improve maneuverability. Depending on configuration, the Silverado 3500HD comes in WT (Work Truck), LT, LTZ and High Country trim levels.

A 6.6-liter gasoline-fueled V8 (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft) is the standard engine. A 6.6-liter diesel V8 (470 hp, 975 lb-ft) is optional. Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission and send torque to the truck's rear wheels through a single or dual rear-wheel axle. Four-wheel drive is available and comes with an electric two-speed transfer case.

WT
The entry-level Work Truck is budget-friendly and offers the essentials, including:

  • 18-inch steel wheels (17-inch on dual rear-wheel models)
  • Automatic-locking rear differential
  • Two-speed transfer case (4WD models only)
  • Trailering equipment (trailer hitch, seven-pin connector)
  • Cruise control
  • Single-zone climate control
  • Vinyl upholstery and flooring
  • 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Six-speaker audio system (Double Cab and crew cab) with Bluetooth streaming for two devices
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

The following safety and driver aids are standard on all Silverado 3500 trims:

  • Forward collision alert with pedestrian detection (warns of a possible collision with the vehicle you are following)
  • Automated emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Following distance indicator (displays the distance to the car in front and warns if you're following too closely)
  • Automatic high beams

LT
Choose the LT trim level for a truck that's also useful when you're off the clock. It adds:

  • Low-effort tailgate (Chevy's EZ Lift) with power lock and release
  • Trailer brake controller (allows adjustment of a trailer's brakes from the cab)
  • Tinted glass
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • 12.3-inch driver information display
  • 13.4-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation

LTZ
The LTZ trim level is only available as a crew cab. It adds more refinement and upscale details, such as:

  • Electronic variable steering assistance (reduces long-distance fatigue)
  • Automatic two-speed transfer case for 4WD models (push-button control includes an auto setting that will automatically engage 4WD)
  • LED headlights, foglights and taillights
  • Heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors with puddle lights, turn signal indicators
  • Power-folding/extending and auto-dimming exterior mirrors
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather front seats
  • Heated, power-adjustable front seats with driver's seat memory
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Household-style power outlets in cab and bed
  • Second-row USB charging ports

High Country
The High Country is the most luxurious version of the Silverado 3500HD. It's only available as a crew cab and comes with:

  • Four-wheel drive
  • 20-inch polished alloy wheels
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Spray-in bedliner
  • LED cargo bed lighting
  • Leather upholstery front and rear
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Seven-speaker Bose premium sound system
  • Wireless device charger
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Silverado 3500HD and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Safety alert seat (uses vibrations to alert driver to a potential collision)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Silverado and the car in front)
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Many of the standard features on upper trim levels are available for the lower trims as options. Optional highlights include:

  • Z71 Off-Road package (off-road tires, upgraded suspension, skid plates, hill descent control)
  • Power take-off system (auxiliary transmission output that supplies mechanical torque via a splined shaft to drive other equipment)
  • Power-retractable side steps
  • Hard folding tonneau cover for the bed
  • Multi-Flex tailgate (offers several configurable settings for various cargo requirements)
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Trailering camera system (can display multiple trailer-based camera views on the touchscreen to aid with towing)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)

These packages are also available:

  • Trail Boss package (LT and LTZ trims)
    • Off-road tires
    • Skid plate
    • Black wheels, bumpers and exterior trim
    • Red tow hooks
    • Spray-in bedliner
  • Safety package (LT and LTZ trims)
    • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
    • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Technology package (LTZ and High Country trims)
    • Head-up display
    • Digital rearview mirror

Which Silverado 3500HD trim does Edmunds recommend?

Of the Silverado 3500HD's four trims, the LT offers the best value. At less than $60,000, the price is still reasonable and comes with most of the upgrades you'd probably want with the base trim, such as the big touchscreen, easy-open tailgate, navigation and a trailer brake controller — the latter a must-have in a truck made for towing. The LT also opens the door to dozens of options.
