2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 price and specs: ZR2 more expensive without equipment changes

https://media.drive.com.au/obj/tx_q:70,rs:auto:1920:1080:1/driveau/upload/cms/uploads/c0c3c517-d4dc-50aa-aafd-ca690d450000

Prices have gone up by $3500 for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 flagship, but the LTZ Premium remains static.

The price of the flagship Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 has risen by $3500 for 2025, with no update to specifications to justify the price increase.

Now priced at $141,500 before on-road costs, the rise matches the increase to the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, which is now $166,500 and features a new exterior look.

However, Chevrolet’s entry-level Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium remains retains its $130,500 plus on-road costs RRP for 2025.

General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) has confirmed no equipment changes for the 2025 model year.

This means standard equipment remains static with 18-inch gloss-black wheels wrapped in all-terrain tyres, front and rear electronic locking differentials, lifted suspension, and beefed-up underbody protection.

This differentiates it from the Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium, which has 20-inch wheels and a separate look.

The ZR2 also features a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, a colour head-up display, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster shared with the LTZ Premium.

A maximum braked towing capacity of 4200kg is offered, down from the 4500kg of the 1500 LTZ Premium and rivals like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500.
