2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD WT vs. Custom: What’s the difference?
So, what do buyers need to consider with these Silverado HD trims? These Silverado HD trucks are meant for Texans who want major towing and hauling capabilities at a great price. In the trim lineup, both models are on the more affordable end of the spectrum. The base WT offers the absolute lowest price, but the better-equipped Custom isn’t much more expensive. And while these heavy-duty trucks aren’t big on luxury features, they don’t skimp on tech gear, giving you plenty of infotainment gear and safety aids. These Silverado HD models are also known for their roomy comfort — along with their outstanding workhorse capabilities, of course.
What’s more powerful, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD WT or Custom?
Just like the rest of the Silverado 2500HD lineup, the WT and Custom trucks are available with your choice of two heavy-duty V8 engines. A gasoline-powered V8 comes standard, but a 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 is also available. For Upper East Texas drivers with especially heavy gear to tow, the extra torque available from the turbo-diesel engine is certain to come in handy. And if you’re looking for a little extra weekend adventure (or just spend a lot of time on unpaved job sites), four-wheel drive is optional for both trucks.
