The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is expected to receive a significant engine upgrade. The new engine is rumored to be a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that will produce around 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. This would be a significant increase over the current 5.3-liter V8 engine, which produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
The new engine is expected to offer several benefits over the current V8 engine. It is expected to be more fuel-efficient, more powerful, and more durable. The turbocharger will help to boost low-end torque, making the Silverado 1500 more responsive and easier to drive in everyday situations. The inline-six design is also more compact than the V8, which will free up space under the hood for other components.
