Perhaps you’re after a trail-conquering companion. No matter the case, the Aaron Chevrolet team put together this guide to help you make an informed decision. The 2025 Silverado 1500 lineup has something for any truck enthusiast. Dive in to discover their differences and narrow down your search for a modern, durable pickup truck.
Peruse the nine Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trims below.
The WT is the entry-level Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim. “WT” stands for “Work Truck,” which is what this model is made for. The WT has standard features like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a 40/20/40 split front bench seat with under-seat storage, and the standard TurboMax engine.
The Silverado 1500 Custom is a step up from the WT and offers many of the same features with the addition of extra standard and available amenities. Standard options for the Custom trim include the TurboMax engine, 20-inch wheels, Hitch Guidance, a 10-way power driver seat, and a 120-volt power outlet.
The LT trim level adds styling upgrades and has a more polished exterior look with high-intensity LED reflector headlamps and taillamps, available 20-inch painted aluminum wheels, and more. This truck has Chrome mirror caps and bumpers and comes with standard amenities like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a large 13.4-inch diagonal Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system.
“RST” stands for Rally Sport Truck, and this Chevy Silverado 1500 model is here to perform. Although it comes standard with the TurboMax engine, you can opt for the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel, 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8, or 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engines, depending on your setup. Your engine choice will also determine whether you get an eight-speed automatic transmission, a 10-speed automatic transmission, or an upgraded 10-speed with electronic precision shift.
While the range-topping ZR2 trim is the pinnacle of off-roading performance, there are plenty of challenge beasts throughout the lineup, including the Custom Trail Boss. This model is ready to hit the trails with a 2-inch factory suspension lift, underbody skid plates, an automatic locking rear differential, a 2-speed transfer case, and 18-inch wheels with Goodyear® Wrangler Territory MT tires.
You can opt for the TurboMax, the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8, or the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel engine for the Custom Trail Boss.
Are you a tech enthusiast who loves creature comforts? You’ll love the LTZ with standard features like rain-sensing wipers, wireless charging, heated and ventilated perforated leather front seats, HD Surround Vision, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and many other safety features thanks to the Safety Package. You can even add up to eight cameras with 14 available views.
The LT Trail Boss ups the ante compared to the Custom Trail Boss. This model adds additional comfort features yet retains the two-inch factory lift with the Z71 Off-Road package, a two-speed transfer case, and an automatic locking rear differential.
The High Country trim is the ultimate for luxury seekers, with premium leather seating surfaces, open-pore wood trim throughout the cabin, a power-sliding rear window, and much more. This model features High Country emblems inside and outside and offers available Super Cruise driver-assistance technology, an available Sport Mode, and several engine options.
The ZR2 is the ultimate nature-loving companion when it comes to the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 lineup. It has 33-inch Goodyear® Wrangler Territory MT tires, large underbody skid plates, an off-road cut bumper, multimatic DSSV dampers, and tons of interior comfort amenities, too.

“A+ Dealership all around. No high pressure sales tactics here. I bought a truck this weekend from Alex and Alonzo at Aaron Chevrolet and I couldn’t be happier. Both are great guys to work with. From our experience with Alex walking us around the lot to running numbers with Alonzo, it was a great car buying experience. Thanks guys.”
