Everyone has been expecting the updates happening to 2025 Chevy Silverado. After all, the vehicle has been known for its reputation as a reliable full size (pickup) truck. It’s believed that the upcoming model may get new powertrains, but people are left wondering whether there are other updates going on to the truck – whether it’s the exterior touch-up or the interior improvement. So, what can you expect from the new Silverado?
The Updated Plan
The 2025 Chevy Silverado would be coming with different body styles: the light duty (the 1500 model), medium duty (the 4500, 5500, and 6500 models), and heavy duty pickup trucks (the 2500 and 3500 models). With front engine (and longitudinal) layout, the truck is believed to deliver punchy performance and smooth outcome. The Silverado is manufactured in some GM’s manufacturing plants, including the Flint assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, the Fort Wayne plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the Silao plant in Mexico, and the Oshawa plant in Canada. The main focus of sales would be for North American market, Mexican market, and Canadian market, but there’s always a possibility that there are also other markets for the Silverado’s availability.
According to Mark Reuss, the GM President, they want to lower the emission while increasing efficiency through their productions. That’s why the possibility of new powertrains is always available, designed to boost efficiency, performance, and outcome. It’s believed that the new powertrain can reduce the greenhouse gases up to 10%.
Model and Platform
Naturally, the changes happening to 2025 Chevy Silverado won’t only be limited to the powertrains, but also to the physical appearance. expect updates on the exterior areas as well as the interior cabin although there hasn’t been any detail about it.
What’s possible is that the new Silverado won’t be using the same platform as the previous models. The Silverado won’t be sharing the same platform as the Silverado EV, which uses Ultium platform. It also means that the EV would be using Ultium tech, while this regular Silverado won’t.
GM’s Manufacturing Plans
As if manufacturing the new 2025 Silverado isn’t a difficult job enough, GM has the plan to actually add the extra Silverado EV and also Sierra EV. But they may delay the project by moving production to the Q4 of 2025. In the previous plan, they might have wanted to manufacture the EV together with the regular models. But considering the loads of work and the unrealistic expectation of the production, the auto maker has finally decided to delay the plan.
Originally, the auto maker wanted to start producing the EVs in 2024 at the Orion assembly plant, but then they decided to postpone it a year later. It means that the production will start in 2025. After all, the Silverado EV (work) truck has already been manufactured at Factory Zero plant in Detroit, and the plan will remain the same for future manufacturing schedule. It only means that GM is likely not going to add another workload for their EV production – at least until 2025.
GM is currently manufacturing the Bolt at Orion. After they have spent $4 billion of dollars to make the plant ‘EV-ready’, they definitely seek out possible profits for the future. While the demand is still high for EV models, they intend to maximize production.
Price and Release Date
There is no official announcement about the details of the upcoming Silverado, but it’s expected to be available in 2024, around fall time. Information about the price isn’t available for now, so we can’t really provide exact information about it. We can only expect further updates about 2025 Chevy Silverado, and hopefully, the auto maker is going to provide official release concerning the details.
