[Find a Deal](#) × ## **Summary** The **2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500** blends old-school V8 muscle with modern tech and comfort, standing as one of the few full-size pickups in Australia packing an **authentic eight-cylinder**. Despite its heft, it’s surprisingly refined on-road, offering a spacious and premium-feeling cabin. With two factory-backed variants—both powered by a **6.2-litre V8**—the Silverado targets drivers seeking effortless towing and a hulking road presence. However, its **shorter warranty**, **lack of capped-price servicing**, and **impressive price tag** may give some pause in an increasingly competitive big-truck segment. ## **Pros & Cons** ### **Pros** - Potent 6.2-litre V8 with pleasing rumble - Roomy, upscale interior layout - Manages decent fuel economy for a large pickup ### **Cons** - No capped-price servicing offered - Warranty limited to three years - Feels a bit bulkier and slower-steering than some rivals ## Specs | **Body Style** | Full-size Pickup Truck (Crew Cab) | | ----------------- | --------------------------------- | | **Platform** | GM T1 | | **Launched** | 2019 globally | | **Local Arrival** | \~2025 updates | | **Engine(s)** | 6.2L V8 petrol (313kW/624Nm) | ## Pricing ## Pricing Information Before on-roads Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium: $130,500 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 $138,000 [**Check Drive-Away Pricing**](https://www.carexplore.com.au/drive-away-price-checker/) for real-time estimates based on your location. **Want a deal on a new Chevrolet Silverado?** **[Find me a deal](#)** **×** ## **Interior & Features** Inside, the Silverado 1500 offers a **spacious, modern** cabin with plenty of soft-touch materials and **high-tech** touches. A **13.4-inch** touchscreen pairs with a **12.3-inch** digital driver display, while **heated and ventilated** seats, a **heads-up display** (LTZ) and a **wireless charging pad** underscore GM’s focus on convenience. Storage abounds—there’s even a handy console-mounted phone slot. In typical US fashion, the **crew cab** layout ensures a cavernous rear seat area. ## **Engine & Fuel Economy** Both local variants use the **6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8** (313kW/624Nm), paired with a **10-speed automatic** and selectable 4x4\. Despite an old-school displacement, it can yield **\~12.9–13.8L/100km** in mixed real-world driving. That’s **competitive** against smaller, turbocharged rivals. Towing capacity stands at up to **4.5 tonnes** (braked), with ample low-end torque for hauling or off-roading. ## **Image Gallery** ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-2.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-3.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-4.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-5.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-6.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-8.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-9.png) ## **Expert Media Reviews** CarExpert + **Score:** 8.2 / 10 "A refreshingly old-school V8 truck with modern tech, balancing performance and practicality in a full-size pickup." **Link:** [Read review](https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-reviews/2025-chevrolet-silverado-1500-review?ref=carexplore.com.au) CarSauce + **Score:** 8.0 / 10 "Impressive towing capacity, classic V8 grunt, but short warranty and no capped-price servicing." **Link:** [Read review](https://www.carsauce.com/car-review/2025-chevrolet-silverado-ltz-review?ref=carexplore.com.au) Drive + **Score:** 7.7 / 10 "Handles tough terrain well with its beefed-up off-road kit, though not as daily-friendly as the LTZ." **Link:** [Read review](https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2025-chevrolet-silverado-zr2-review/?ref=carexplore.com.au) --- ## **Safety Rating** There’s **no ANCAP** or **Euro NCAP** rating for the Silverado 1500 yet, so we await local test results.

[**rec-006200**](https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/rec-006200?ref=carexplore.com.au): Brake fluid cap lacking Aussie-compliant warning. 2.
