Off-Road Readiness
The Silverado ZR2 remains the go-to configuration for rugged terrain. Multimatic DSSV dampers, steel front and rear bumpers, and 33-inch off-road tires come standard. Dedicated drive modes, front and rear locking differentials, and skid plates add extra capability in challenging environments. Across Middletown, DE, drivers favor the 2025 ZR2 for backroad hauls and wet trail conditions.
Interior Amenities
Regardless of the model year, you can enjoy a quiet cabin, a 13.4-inch infotainment display, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster on higher trims. The 2025 model now has updated graphics and improved voice controls. Storage options include rear-seatback compartments and under-seat bins. Elkton, MD, area shoppers gravitate toward the LTZ and High Country models for their added comfort and premium materials.
Advanced Technology
Standard Chevy Safety Assist is unchanged for 2025 and includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and front pedestrian braking.
