If you’re shopping for a truck that fits both your daily drive and weekend ambitions, you’re probably comparing two standouts in Chevy’s lineup: the 2025 Silverado EV and the 2025 Colorado. These trucks are engineered for different lifestyles, and this blog post is here to spotlight what makes each one a worthy contender—so you can drive off confident from Platinum Chevrolet in Terrell, TX.
Performance & Powertrain
Under the hood (or the battery pack), these trucks take very different approaches to performance:
- The Silverado EV delivers up to 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, thanks to its dual motor setup and Wide Open Watts mode.
- The Colorado punches out 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque from its TurboMax 2.7L engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Looking for trail-blazing torque and zero-emissions performance? The Silverado EV has it. But if you love the roar of a traditional powertrain, Colorado gives you just the right growl.
Towing & Payload Capacity
Whether you’re towing a camper or hauling construction gear, both trucks get the job done—but here’s how they compare:
| Capability | Silverado EV | Colorado |
| Max Towing | 12,500 lbs | 7,700 lbs |
| Max Payload | ~1,750 lbs | ~1,570 lbs |
If trailering is part of your lifestyle, the Silverado EV is your go-to. The Colorado keeps things light and agile—perfect for weekend warriors and DIY haulers.
Range and Efficiency
Want to skip the gas station? Or do you prefer traditional fuel efficiency? Let’s see:
- Silverado EV: Up to 408 miles on a full charge (Standard Range), and up to 460 miles with the Max Range battery.
- Colorado: Roughly 363 miles per tank, depending on drive style and trim.
Either way, you’re not stopping often—both models are engineered to keep you moving.
Interior Comfort & Cabin Features
- Seating: Both trucks seat five passengers in crew cab configurations.
- Upholstery: Silverado EV features Evotex synthetic leather; Colorado comes standard with cloth.
- Luxury Touches: Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel are standard on the Silverado EV LT trim. Heated seats are available on select Colorado trims.
