Chevrolet Silverado 2025
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: This is a serious truck with load-carrying and towing capabilities far beyond Australia’s ubiquitous Ranger/HiLux-sized one-tonne utes. However, those vehicles thrive in urban use due to their relatively compact dimensions so, in that context, this pick-up is simply too large to be a practical alternative. However, if you have more specialised work and recreational requirements, like GCMs as high as 12 tonnes with spacious comfort for a crew of five, this big American would be tough to top.

The Chevrolet SILVERADO Ute competes with similar models like the Ford Ranger, Ram 1500 and Toyota Land Cruiser in the Over $70k category category.
The 2025 Chevrolet SILVERADO carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Chevrolet Silverado 2025 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Chevrolet SILVERADO here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 good for towing?
You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.
As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.
