Which Chevy Silverado Engine Is Right for Me?
You don't need to take a test-drive to know that the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is an exceptional machine. What's the secret of its success? Here's a hint: it's under the hood.
The 2025 Silverado specs sheet is defined by its several engine options, but two choices in particular stand out to our customers: the TurboMax™ and the massive 6.2-liter V8. Both engines are strong, durable and proven powerplants that are ready to tow and haul just about anything you can hitch up or load into a new Silverado.
Our Chevy dealership in Mount Kisco knows these engine options well, and we wanted to shine a light on what makes them both special. Discover their most relevant specs below, then visit our showroom to conduct a Silverado review of your own.

What's the Best Silverado Engine?
It ultimately depends on what you're looking for from your new truck. For most shoppers, the Silverado TurboMax™ engine is everything a driver needs -- between its everyday efficiency and its noteworthy towing capacity, this four-cylinder powerplant easily conquers everyday tasks.
As for the V8? For those who feel that nothing sounds like the iconic burble of eight cylinders, there is no substitute for the 6.2-liter engine. Its additional towing capacity also makes it a great choice for those regularly hauling trailers weighing in the vicinity of 10,000 pounds.
