If you’ve been anywhere where there’s hard work to be done, then you’ve seen the Chevy Silverado. It’s one of America’s favorite full-size pickups, beloved by contractors, farmers, and families alike. If you’ve been interested in checking it out for yourself, visit us! As your Chevy dealer near Opelousas, we’re ready to pair drivers in our community with the ideal Silverado 1500 trim for their needs.
We have the all-new 2025 model in stock, and we’ve already hopped inside each model, tested out every new feature, and tried the safety and trailering technology for ourselves. We know the 2025 Silverado 1500, inside and out. While there is a lot to love about this truck, there isn’t enough room in one blog to go over it. We’ll still give you a sneak peek by listing some of our favorite features of the 2025 Silverado 1500 below.
Tons of Trailering Technology
The 2025 Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds. However, it’s no secret that controlling that amount of cargo is a lot of work. If you want extra help managing a large vessel, you’ll get it in the 2025 Silverado 1500, thanks to excellent trailering technology. It all starts with the trailering app, where you can create a custom trailer profile to help you monitor your vessel. You’ll input some basic information about your vessel, like the type and mileage. Then, you can set up important maintenance reminders. You can also monitor components of your vessel, like the tire pressure and temperature. When you have a trailer behind you, it’s just as important to keep an eye on that as it is your pickup, and the trailering app can help.
Monitoring your blind zone is already tough enough with a big vehicle. The challenge increases when you add a trailer. Luckily, the 2025 Silverado 1500 has a Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert. When this feature senses someone approaching the blind spot of your trailer, it will provide visual alerts on your side mirrors. So you’ll know when it’s safe to switch lanes—and when it isn’t—even with a large vessel in tow.
Finally (and this is big news), Super Cruise has trailering capabilities! If you’ve experienced Super Cruise, then you know that it’s Chevy’s hands-free highway driving assist program that can handle steering, braking, and accelerating, offering you a chance to relax a little. With trailering capabilities, Super Cruise now lets you enjoy that hands-free experience, even when you’re towing something. So whether you’re taking a work-related vessel, like a cement mixer or trailer, up the I-49, or you’re taking all the camping gear you need for your weekend away, you can enjoy some hands-free driving.

The Multitasking Multi-Flex Tailgate + Job-Ready Durabed
The Multi-Flex tailgate is a highly popular feature amongst anyone who wears workboots. It lets you put your tailgate to use in more ways than you could’ve ever imagined, with six positions ready for anything. First, there’s the standard primary gate, which you can open using either your keyfob, a switch inside the cab, or a button on the gate itself. Then, there’s the primary gate load stop, which keeps extra-long items in place. The easy access setting lets you fold an inner gate down, providing easy access to the bed’s contents. You can also fold that inner gate down into a full-width step, capable of supporting up to 375 pounds.
Then, there’s the inner gate load stop, which can stop second-tier items from slipping out. Finally, the worksurface of the inner gate gives you a standing desk on the go. So whether you need to fill out an invoice, go over blueprints, work on your laptop, or make an inventory list, you have a place to get work done, wherever you are.
So how about that Durabed? That refers to the bed itself, which is outfitted with features that help hardworking individuals. With 12 standard tie-downs, it gives you plenty of places to secure your cargo in place, no matter how bulky or awkwardly shaped it might be. And with up to 89.1 cu.ft. of cargo space, it’s ready for some bulky items like camping gear and building supplies. There’s even an available 120-volt outlet, so you can plug in appliances and tools at the back of the bed—that should come in handy when your Opelousas job site is running low on available outlets.
Inspiring Infotainment
Whether you’re visiting job sites, camping sites, or waiting at the carpool dropoff, great infotainment is something everyone can appreciate. And the 2025 Silverado 1500 has it. You’ll notice a huge 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen the moment you step into the cabin. Nearing the size of a laptop, this screen will make it easy to see your turn-by-turn directions and other important details. The 12.3-inch diagonal driver information center can show you vehicle and journey stats, too. Bigger screens mean less looking twice to grab important information, which means safer driving.
Then, there’s the wireless smartphone compatibility. Sync your Apple or Android device up to the massive touchscreen without any USB cords messing up your otherwise tidy dash area. From playlist apps to weather apps and more, see your graphics bigger (and better) on the touchscreen. And if you’re particularly a fan of Google apps, you’ll love the option to add built-in Google. Then you can use Google Assistant to text or call friends without taking your hands off the wheel—or just ask important questions like, “What time does the pizza place in town close?” and “Will it be sunny tomorrow?” You can also use it to control features inside your vehicle, like the temperature, so on hot Opelousas days, just ask Google Assistant to blast your AC. Google Maps is a part of this feature, too, giving you access to all the features you love, like points of interest, real-time traffic updates, and street view.
