The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is more than just a truck in Indiana; it’s a symbol of American craftsmanship and hard work. Built at General Motors Co.’s Fort Wayne Assembly Plant, this full-size pickup stands as a pillar of the local economy.


The facility itself stretches over 3 million square feet and provides jobs to nearly 4,000 Hoosiers. Our team at Tom Tepe Autocenter takes pride in offering vehicles that are part of such an impressive legacy.


With GM’s commitment to investing $1.2 billion into the plant for future trucks and another $632 million for the next-generation models, the Silverado’s roots are only getting deeper in Indiana soil.


Last year alone, Americans welcomed over half a million new Silverados onto their driveways, with many of those pickups coming through our doors at Tom Tepe Autocenter & Car Country.


This history isn’t just about numbers; it showcases the trust and preference drivers place on this vehicle—a testament we’re honored to uphold by connecting customers with a truck that embodies strength, reliability, and Midwestern values.

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a game-changer, packed with features that set it apart. From its bold exterior to cutting-edge technology inside, this truck leads the pack in innovation and performance.


Exterior design

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 stands bold with its muscular stance, sleek lines, and bold contours. Its prominent grille and LED headlights catch the eye and light up the road ahead like never before.


We’ve made sure it blends the iconic Chevy truck aesthetics with cutting-edge aerodynamic efficiency for a smooth ride every time. The air curtains and grill design enhance both visibility during night drives in places like Cincinnati or Indianapolis and fuel efficiency on long stretches across Ohio, Kentucky, or beyond.


Equipped with 24-inch wheels, this Chevy Silverado ensures stability and traction no matter the terrain—be it city streets or rugged paths around Harrison, Ohio or Aurora, Indiana.

Plus, you’ll find handling your cargo a breeze thanks to our front-mounted trunk space that opens at the push of a button. Whether choosing between a standard bed (82.3 inches) or a long bed (98.3 inches), there’s enough room to haul equipment for work in Milan, Indiana or gear for weekend adventures anywhere your heart desires.


Interior Features

For tech lovers, there’s an advanced infotainment system sporting a massive 17-inch touchscreen display—making directions and controls easy to see and use.


Comfort meets convenience here. Imagine settling into heated and ventilated seats after a long day. Need to power up your devices on the go? The truck includes wireless charging and plug-in capability for charging external gadgets without cluttering the cabin with cords.

Plus, there’s no shortage of space for gear or groceries thanks to ample storage options, a folding midgate, and a flat floor design offering great flexibility for cargo or passengers alike.

  4. LTZ: For those seeking more refinement, the LTZ offers luxury inside and out. Expect premium materials throughout the cabin, advanced driver assistance technologies, including blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control, plus enhanced exterior styling.

  5. High Country: The pinnacle of luxury in full-size pickups at our dealership, High Country boasts top-of-the-line amenities. Drivers enjoy surround-view cameras, a state-of-the-art rearview camera system, and an unmatched level of comfort in its class.

  6. ZR2: Aimed at off-road enthusiasts and adventurers alike, the ZR2 version doesn’t just look robust—it is robust. With specialized four-wheel drive capabilities, it’s built to tackle any terrain while ensuring you ride in style.

  7. RST Variant: This unique combination hits sweet spots in affordability while not skimping on premium features that make every drive exceptional—from advanced safety systems like cross-traffic alerts to aesthetic improvements both inside and out.


Available starting August 19, 2023 (regular cab and crew cab); double cab models follow on August 26—each trim caters to different lifestyles but shares one thing: unmatched quality only found at Tom Tepe Autocenter & Car Country.


Powertrain and performance

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at Tom Tepe Autocenter brings a powerhouse lineup of engines. Choose from V6, V8, or diesel powertrains for unmatched power and versatility on the roads of Harrison, Ohio and beyond.


The advanced hybrid electric option with Altium battery packs and electric motors pushes boundaries, offering an all-wheel drive experience like no other. Imagine harnessing 755 horsepower that propels you from 0 to 60 in about three seconds.


Our truck enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse engine range designed to fit every need—whether it’s the robustness of the 3.7L V8 with its impressive 420 horsepower and towing capabilities or the efficiency of the 3.0L I6 turbo diesel Duramax delivering great fuel economy without sacrificing performance.


With such varied options, comparing this workhorse against competitors like the Ford F-150 or Ram 1500 shows why it leads its class not just in Indiana but across America. At Tom Tepe Autocenter, we’re proud to offer a vehicle that combines strength, innovation, and reliability for our customers looking for top-tier performance in their next full-size pickup truck purchase.
