The Chevy Silverado 1500 for 2023 is one of the two most popular vehicles of any kind on the planet. The Silverado 1500 offers a wealth of available powertrains to cover just about every towing and hauling need you might have. The long cabin gives you outstanding legroom in the rear and you'll find plenty of in-bed tie-down points along with massive bed capacity. Here are some other virtues we think you'll love in the new Chevy Silverado 1500 at Peach Chevrolet GMC in Brewton AL.
What's new for 2023?
For the most part, Chevy left well enough alone with the new Silverado 1500. The updated turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel raises its horsepower game to 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. In the returned turbo, new pistons come with a revised combustion bowl and new fuel injectors give the new diesel more strength.
Trim levels in the 2023 Chevy Silverado
For the latest model year, the Silverado gives truck buyers from Mobile, AL a choice of seven trims to choose from:
- Work Truck
- Custom
- LT
- Trail Boss
- RST
- LTZ
- High Country
The base-level Work Truck and Custom trims are a great match for tradesmen who are watching their budgets. Bump up your investment a bit more and you can get into the LT model and drive home with a fancier interior. We recommend configuring the Silverado with the Crew Cab and the standard length bed to achieve maximum cargo and passenger space. The 5.3-liter V8 is less expensive but the diesel engine gives you great durability and fuel economy.
Engines and performance
The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a range of engines including a turbocharged four-cylinder, two V8s, and a Duramax diesel 3.0-inline-six. That means there's a Silverado 1500 for just about anything you want to tackle. The fastest Silverado is the high country and it can leap from zero to 60 MPH in just 5.4 seconds. The smaller 5.3-liter engine with 355 horsepower took 6.1 seconds. The turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder comes with 420 pound-feet of torque. The 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel has 305 horsepower and a hefty 495 pound-feet of torque.
Towing and payload
The half-ton Chevy Silverado has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. That's enough to beat the Ram 1500 by 550 pounds. You can get the Silverado’s best pulling power with the 6.2-liter V8 but the 5.3-liter V8 can still tow as much as 11,500 pounds. Buyers in Monroeville, AL who choose the turbocharged four-cylinder will get up to 9,500 pounds of towing. Payload ranges from 1,870 pounds to 2,280 pounds.
Fuel economy
No one expects a full size pickup to save you a lot of money at the pump, but there is one configuration of the Chevy Silverado 1500 for 2023 that will beat the fuel efficiency of some SUVs. The optional Duramax diesel is incredibly economical with an EPA efficiency rating of up to 23 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on highways around Pensacola FL. Talk about beating expectations.
Infotainment and safety technology
You'll get a 7 inch-touchscreen standard along with wired smartphone connectivity but you can upgrade to a massive 13.4-inch touch screen, wireless connectivity and wireless device charging. Another available option is a seven-speaker stereo. A rear view camera comes standard and so does a lane departure warning system.
