Discover the 2025 Chevy Tahoe: Autumn’s Ideal Blend of Strength and Smarts

At Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we're excited for the arrival of crisp autumn days and all the festive events that come with them! As families cheer on their favorite teams and prepare for the delicious different forms of the harvest’s bounty, there also may be a huge pile of leaves to rake out front! We are thrilled to present the all-new 2025 Chevy Tahoe—a full-size SUV that’s undergone a major overhaul to elevate its performance, style, and technology. 

This refreshed Tahoe not only maintains its leading position in the full-size SUV class but also introduces significant upgrades that make it a standout choice in the segment.

A Bold New Look

The 2025 Tahoe boasts a sleek and modern redesign that’s sure to grab attention. Its updated headlights and redesigned bumpers contribute to a bold, aggressive appearance. With fresh front fascias and distinctive design elements on models like the Z71, the Tahoe asserts itself more than ever. New color options, such as Cypress Gray and
Lakeshore Blue Metallic, offer even more ways to customize your ride and make a personal statement on the road.

The Biggest Wheels Yet

For 2025, the Tahoe is equipped with its largest wheels to date—an impressive 24 inches on the RST and High Country trims. These massive wheels add a touch of sophistication and enhance the Tahoe’s commanding road presence, surpassing the 22-inch wheels of the previous model. This upgrade improves the SUV’s aesthetic appeal and its performance and handling.

Advanced Interior Comfort and Tech

Inside, the 2025 Tahoe features a completely redesigned cabin focused on comfort and high-tech innovations. The revamped center console now provides additional storage space and easier access to the wireless charging pad. Higher trims like the RST and Premier include unique interior accents, while the High Country trim introduces luxurious real wood décor, elevating the SUV’s upscale feel.

The Tahoe’s interior also highlights a new digital dashboard, offering the largest display area in its class. The setup includes a 17.7-inch infotainment screen and an 11-inch digital gauge display, both angled toward the driver for optimal usability. Despite the high-tech enhancements, Chevrolet has kept physical buttons and dials for quick access to essential functions, blending modern tech with user-friendly design.

Hands-Free Highway Driving with Super Cruise

One of the standout features of the 2025 Tahoe is its continued offering of Super Cruise—a cutting-edge hands-free driving technology. This system combines adaptive cruise control with an array of cameras and sensors to manage speed and steering on compatible roads. While Super Cruise enhances driving comfort, drivers need to stay attentive, as the system does not replace the need for vigilance.

Powerful Engine Options

The 2025 Chevy Tahoe introduces an upgraded 3.0-liter Turbocharged Diesel Inline-Six engine, delivering 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque—an impressive increase from the previous model. This engine option is available on off-road trims like the Z71, enhancing its versatility and power. For those who prefer gasoline engines, the Tahoe continues to offer the robust 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 engines, both delivering substantial power and performance.

Enhanced Towing Capabilities

Chevrolet has made significant strides in improving the Tahoe’s towing capabilities for 2025. New features include a trailer health monitor to help prevent blowouts, a mobile trailering app with real-time load ratings, and an advanced navigation system that calculates the best route based on your towing load. These upgrades make the Tahoe an excellent choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing tasks.

Improved Ride and Suspension

To enhance driving comfort, Chevrolet has refined the Tahoe’s multilink independent rear suspension, improving overall ride quality. The steering system has also been recalibrated to offer better control and feedback, contributing to a more enjoyable driving experience.

With its redesigned digital dashboard, larger wheels, and advanced towing features, the 2025 Chevy Tahoe is more than just a large SUV—it’s a powerful statement of style and capability. Whether you’re managing daily activities or embarking on a fall adventure, the Tahoe’s powerful engines and modern features ensure an exceptional driving experience.

V-6 Muscle and Smart Tech: The Chevy Blazer’s State-of-The-Art Power Play

As streaming channels turn to horror-themed events and spooky costumes line the retail shelves, there's soon to be a distinct change in the air! The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer is one of our flashy and fun models here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse. It turns heads with its Camaro-inspired design and sharp handling, delivering a driving experience that matches its bold looks.

Sleek Design Meets Modern Performance:

The 2025 Blazer stands out in the midsize SUV segment, competing with models like the Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Mazda CX-5. It may not be the newest in Chevy’s lineup, but its striking, aggressive design has aged well. From its sleek LED headlights to its bold honeycomb grille, this SUV oozes confidence and style. The blacked-out roof and high spoiler complete the look, giving it a low-slung, sporty vibe that's hard to ignore.

Inside, the Blazer offers a stylish cabin, highlighted by an 11-inch touchscreen that sits prominently on the dash. The trio of round air vents and the additional physical buttons make the interior both functional and intuitive, with a refreshing focus on user-friendly controls. While its five-seat configuration doesn't include a third row, the spacious cabin and decent cargo area ensure plenty of room for passengers and gear alike.

Where Power Meets Precision:

The 2025 Blazer comes with two engine options. The base 2.0-liter turbo-4 offers decent around-town acceleration, but the real asphalt-conquering magic happens when you upgrade to the 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6. 

With its strong acceleration, this engine transforms the Blazer into a true performer, cutting the 0-60 mph sprint down to just six seconds. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Blazer offers a firm yet comfortable ride, making it an ideal companion for city streets and long highways.

Front-wheel drive comes standard, but for those seeking more control, all-wheel drive is available. The V-6 models take things up a notch with a twin-clutch rear differential that enhances grip on all surfaces, delivering a confident and exhilarating driving experience.

Safety & Tech Features for Peace of Mind:

Safety is a priority in the Blazer, with its five-star NHTSA crash rating and a robust suite of safety technologies. Standard features include automatic emergency braking, lane control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors. 

For valuable extra assurance, optional upgrades like a surround-view camera system and rear camera mirror improve rear visibility, especially given the Blazer’s somewhat limited rearward view. While adaptive cruise control remains an add-on rather than standard, the Blazer’s safety package still places it in a competitive position within its class.

Trim Options & Pricing 

The base 2LT trim includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a large 10.2-inch touchscreen equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But for those who crave more power and premium features, stepping up to the RS or Premier trims is well worth it. The RS delivers a sportier look with dark exterior accents and bold red stitching inside, while the Premier trim adds a touch of luxury with its tan leather seating and chrome details.

The Final Word:

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer is more than just an SUV with striking looks—it offers a balanced blend of power, style, and tech that will excite savvy buyers. While its base engine is adequate, the V-6 provides the punch needed to elevate it into a league of its own. Combine that with a spacious cabin, advanced tech, and robust safety features, and the Blazer emerges as a top choice for drivers who want an SUV that redefines excellence.

Work Hard, Ride Easy: The 2025 Silverado Delivers Power, Luxury, and Versatility

The 2025 Chevy Silverado lineup has something for everyone, whether you need a truck for heavy-duty jobs, luxurious driving, off-road fun, or serious towing. With a choice of gas, diesel, or electric engines, the Silverado offers powerful, reliable options to suit your needs. At Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, we're big fans of this capable and hefty hauler! According to a recent review from the Motor Trend blog, the 2025 Silverado stands out with its “rugged style and tech-filled interior.” 

The 2025 Silverado 1500 is Chevy's star player in the full-size truck category, going up against tough competitors like the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra. While this year's updates are subtle, they add some fresh appeal. Two new paint colors—Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue—give the Silverado a sleek new look, and there's also a new 20-inch High Gloss Black wheel option for added style. 

Cruise control is now standard on the Work Truck trim, and LT trims and above now come with a trailer brake controller for easier towing. For off-road lovers, the Silverado 1500 ZR2 brings even more to the table this year. It now comes with a seven-speaker Bose premium sound system, as well as front and rear parking sensors for extra convenience and safety. After a mid-cycle refresh, the 2025 Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD continue their reign as powerful heavy-duty trucks with even more updates. 

The HD ZR2 now has standard front and rear parking sensors, which are also available on WT, Custom, and LT trims. The luxurious High Country model now includes adaptive cruise control as standard, making long drives a breeze. For a stealthier look, the Custom trim now offers a Blackout package, while the Midnight Edition gets new 20-inch wheels for added style and durability. Off-road enthusiasts will love the Trail Boss package, now available on the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD LT and LTZ trims. 

The Trail Boss package includes Z71 shocks and suspension for tackling rough terrain, red recovery hooks, and 20-inch black wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich K03 tires for extra grip. With blacked-out bumpers, trim, and badges, these heavy-duty trucks have a bold, rugged look that’s ready for adventure. Under the hood of the Trail Boss, you’ll find a standard 6.6-liter V8 engine, with the option to upgrade to the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel for more torque and power. Every Trail Boss model features the reliable Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth shifting on the highway or off the beaten path.

Now in its second year, the all-electric 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV continues to impress, with just a few cosmetic changes for this model year. While the powertrain remains the same, Chevy has expanded the color options to include bold new shades. In addition to Summit White and Black, you can now choose from Slate Gray Metallic, Habanero Orange, Blue Smoke Metallic, Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic, and Riptide Blue Metallic. These fresh colors bring a new level of personality to this groundbreaking electric truck.
