The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado range of configurations is currently priced from $130,500.
Our most recent review of the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: This is a serious truck with load-carrying and towing capabilities far beyond Australia’s ubiquitous Ranger/HiLux-sized one-tonne utes. However, those vehicles thrive in urban use due to their relatively compact dimensions so, in that context, this pick-up is simply too large to be a practical alternative. However, if you have more specialised work and recreational requirements, like GCMs as high as 12 tonnes with spacious comfort for a crew of five, this big American would be tough to top.

This is what Mark Oastler liked most about this particular version of the Chevrolet Silverado: OEM quality RHD, Towing technology, 12-tonne-plus GCM
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Chevrolet Silverado 2025 prices range from $130,500 for the basic trim level Dual Cab 1500 Ltz Premium to $166,500 for the top of the range Dual Cab 2500 Hd Ltz Premium.
You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.
As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.

We are not aware of any plan for Holden to bring in the big Chevy pickup. The Silverado is already available on the local market, with several small importers bringing it in.
