Are you in the market for a new pickup truck that’s both capable and stylish? Look no further than the 2023 Chevy Silverado. This fantastic truck has everything you need to work hard or play hard. From its appealing looks to its optimal performance, you’re sure to fall in love with this truck the moment you lay your eyes on it. Let’s explore what’s new with the latest version of the Chevy Silverado to help you decide if an upgrade is in store for you.

Engine and Performance

Although there aren’t any noticeable changes to the powertrain options for the 2023 Silverado 1500, you won’t be disappointed with what you find under the hood. Because let’s face it, when something works, there’s no reason to change it. The most basic powertrain is still a powerful option, with a 2.7-liter turbo high-output engine delivering an outstanding 310 horsepower and an impressive 430 lb-ft of on-demand torque. This top-of-the-line engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission for a smooth driving experience.

Next in the engine lineup is the 5.3-liter V-8 that comes standard on some trims and is an available option on others. Paired with an eight- or 10-speed automatic transmission, this option puts out 355 horsepower and up to 383 lb-ft of torque. You can also get the 6.2-liter V-8 engine if you want your Silverado to generate 420 horsepower and a maximum of 460 lb-ft of torque. This engine works with a 10-speed transmission to provide a comfortable ride.

Last but certainly not least is the diesel engine option. This one is a 3.0-liter Duramax turbo engine capable of producing 277 horsepower and a whopping 460 lb-ft of torque to ensure you can do the job at hand easily. With this engine, your truck can tow up to 13,300 pounds, making it perfect for just about any task.

Exterior Features

While the Limited trim isn’t expected to be in the Silverado lineup for 2023, you might be excited to learn that a new trim level introduced in 2022 will find its way into the offerings of the 2023 model year. A racing-inspired truck, the ZR2 trim level features some slick styling that’s sure to catch your eye. It’s off-road capable and has two tow hooks in the lower fascia that help give it a formidable appearance. To help it stand out from the other trims, the ZR2 features a special grille with a functional flow tie.

You’ll have a few new exterior paint color options to choose from this year as well. These include:

• Radiant Red Tintcoat.
• Sterling Gray Metallic.
• Harvest Bronze Metallic.

Protect your Silverado’s paint job with an optional protective film for the front end, where your truck will most likely receive the brunt of its wear and tear.

Cab sizes and truck bed lengths vary depending on the trim level, but you have various options to ensure you get all the space you need to bring the people and gear you want along for the ride. You’ll have LED lighting in the truck bed to help you see what’s there even in the dark. This feature is standard in all but the base trim, where it is offered as an upgrade.

The corner step on the rear bumper is a handy detail that lets you access the truck bed easily. If you opt for the top-level trim, you get retractable steps that provide even easier access to the truck bed. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 22 inches, so you’re sure to get the ones that meet your needs.

Interior Features

Technology advancements that can improve your drive when you’re behind the wheel of the 2023 Silverado are plentiful. Many carry over from the 2022 model, but some new additions include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities in the upper trims and standard Wi-Fi access for all but the base trim level. Not to worry, though, as you will still be able to use your cord to take advantage of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the lower trims.

You should go with the ZR2 trim if you want to access your favorite apps and other important information on the biggest touch screen available. This model offers an easy-to-read 13.4-inch color touch screen. It also has a configurable 12.3-inch digital cluster display that lets you see your driving speed, fuel level, and more with a quick glance. Available leather seating and leather-wrapped steering wheel make for a sophisticated look for this rugged pickup.

Safety Technology

Keeping you and your passengers safe in the 2023 Silverado are many of the same trusted features offered on the 2022 model. One newly introduced addition to safety technology is Super Cruise, a feature you can get if you choose the highest trim level. This is a hands-free and foot-free self-driving system that works on 200,000 miles of road within North America. With this system, you can simply sit back and enjoy the drive, although paying attention to the road ahead is always a good idea.

Some of the safety features that can help make towing a breeze in the 2023 Chevy Silverado are:

• Trailer side blind zone alert.
• Trailer sway control.
• Hill-start assist.
• Trailer tire pressure monitoring.
• Trailer app.
• Auto grade braking.

You’ll also have eight available cameras that provide 14 different views so that you can see just about every angle from the seat of your pickup. Additional standard safety features include forward collision alert, tailgating alert, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and lane-keep assist with lane departure warning.
