2025 Chevy Silverado: Minimal Updates and Affordable Price Increases
The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 is following the trend of its predecessors by making only minor changes after a significant rework in 2024. Fortunately, these minimal updates also come with minimal price increases for the new year. According to GM Authority, the price changes for the 2025 Silverado range from $100 to $800 across six different trims.
To put these changes into perspective, let’s compare the 2025 pricing to the original launch pricing for the 2024 model. On some trims, the mid-year price increase of $100 means that the differences are even greater compared to the 2024 launch pricing. Here are the MSRPs for the 2025 Silverado 1500 and the premiums over the 2024 launch pricing:
1. Work Truck: $38,995 ($300 increase from 2024)
2. Custom: $45,595 ($100 increase from 2024)
3. LT: $50,095 ($200 increase from 2024)
4. Custom Trail Boss: $53,795 ($100 increase from 2024)
5. RST: $54,395 ($200 increase from 2024)
6. LT Trail Boss: $60,795 ($900 increase from 2024)
7. LTZ: $59,695 ($600 increase from 2024)
8. High Country: $64,695 ($100 increase from 2024)
9. ZR2: $71,995 ($200 increase from 2024)
10. ZR2 Bison: $77,090 ($200 increase from 2024)
The most luxurious option, the High Country trim with the optional 6.2-liter V8 engine, tops out at $70,990.
In addition to the pricing changes, there are also some updates to the color options. The 2025 Silverado loses four colors including Dark Ash Metallic, Glacier Blue Metallic, Harvest Bronze Metallic, and Lakeshore Blue Metallic. However, it gains two new colors: Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue Metallic.
While the color changes are easily explained, other revisions require a closer look. Some of the changes appear to be aimed at offering more popular specifications or improving cost-effectiveness. For example, the 2024 LT Trail Boss came with standard 18-inch rims and 275/70 Goodyear Wrangler Territory M/T tires. In 2025, this package is replaced with a 20-inch wheel and unnamed 275/60 tires, which were previously offered as an optional tire package. This change allows customers to have a more street-oriented package, while still having the option to upgrade to more intense tires.
Furthermore, the Custom trim no longer has access to the Dark Appearance Package, and there have been adjustments to the availability of three different specs of the 10-speed automatic transmission based on engines and trim levels. Additionally, FlexFuel capability with the 5.3-liter EcoTec V8 engine may now require four-wheel drive on at least one trim.

In conclusion, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 brings only minor changes compared to its 2024 counterpart. Despite these changes, the increase in prices remains reasonable, making the Silverado an attractive option for truck enthusiasts. Whether customers are looking for a powerful work truck or a luxurious urban vehicle, the 2025 Silverado offers a variety of trims and options to suit their needs.
