Jumbo American ute gets even more expensive: 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD styles up to battle the Ram 2500, Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra

The big burly Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty is primed and ready to roll out in 2025, with a series of nips and tucks.

GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) has made some key styling changes to the big US pick-up truck.

Leading the charge are blacked-out front and rear bumpers with red recovery hooks and gloss black alloy wheels.

There are three new colours to choose from including a metallic grey and a blue paint job.

The core of the Silverado 2500 HD remains the same.

Its monster 6.6-litre turbo-diesel V8 engine pumps out a whopping 350kW and 1322Nm. It can tow up to 4500kg and is packed with luxury gear.

Some of the interior highlights include a big multimedia and digital driver’s display, heated and ventilated synthetic leather bound seats, heated steering wheel, sunroof and Bose stereo.

The mildly updated 2500 HD is now $3500 more expensive, with prices starting at $166,500 (before on-road costs).

The Silverado 2500 HD is proving a hit with Aussie monster truck drivers who need to tow.
