Refreshed Chevy Silverado HD Will Launch For 2024 Model Year, Not 2023

The upcoming refreshed Chevy Silverado HD will launch for the 2024 model year, rather than the 2023 model year, GM Authority has learned.

It was previously unclear whether the refreshed Chevy Silverado HD would launch for the 2024 model year or the 2023 model year. However, new information has come to light that that indicates the refreshed heavy-duty pickup will in fact launch for the 2024 model year.

The refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD follows a full model refresh for the light-duty Chevy Silverado 1500 introduced for the 2022 model year, the latter of which hit the scene following the release of the “stop-gap” 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited model.

Meanwhile, the fully refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD will introduce a new design for the front and rear end, as well as a totally overhauled interior and a powertrain upgrade to boot. GM Authority previously caught a few prototypes of the refreshed pickup out for testing, giving us an early look at the revised exterior, as hidden by camo covers.

With regard to the powertrain update, the refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is rumored to introduce an update for the Duramax diesel engine that’s expected to boost output to nearly 1,100 pound-feet of torque and over 500 horsepower. For reference, the 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax in the current pickup is rated at 910 pound-feet of torque and 445 horsepower.

Also of note for the refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is the introduction of the new Silverado HD ZR2, a new trim level that will be available for single-rear wheel vehicles. As GM Authority was the first to report, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 will likely be equipped with new specialty dampers, aggressive 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, and locking differentials for the front and rear, giving the pickup an extra dose of off-road worthiness.

As for the 2023 Chevy Silverado HD, production will kick off in July, as GM Authority covered previously.

      Considering this unit already looks completed, why wait? Launch it this fall as a 2023?

        A lot of back and forth on the timing of these. If they end up being a ’24 I hope they’re an early mid year release. (in reality a 23.5 but called a 24).

      Mary is making a lot of cringe. Abandoning the Camaro, new Silverado made with old interior, Blazer name used inappropriately, completely missing the obvious market trend on off-road oriented vehicles (Blazer, ZR2), lack of extra performance in anything thats not a Corvette or CTSV, the list goes on…

        GM has always done this with their trucks, the new Silverado with the old interior is so they can use all of the old interior parts out of their parts bins and not waste them. GM has it’s bean counters and they do not like to waste parts it is what most big corporations do. Whether you like it or not it is how a business is run.
        Missing the market trend in off road?? the Colorado ZR2 has been around for a few years and is the best off-roader in that class.
        No performance except corvette?? The Camaro ZL1 1LE is the best track car out there and again has been for many years now hands down. , they do not need new performance because they already have the best in class performance in these two models.
        And as far as the Blazer name goes , get over it. The name has not prevented sales, parts have.
        The new blazer looks like a four door Camaro, so should they have called it a Camaro like the New Mustang EV?
        Kind of damned if they do damned if they don’t. So really the only people offended are Blazer and Mustang die hards and that is actually a very small group. I had a 86 Blazer lifted with 35s it was cool, but I am also ordering a new trailblazer soon. Production has delayed my ordering.
        Think of this quote by William Shakespeare
        “That which We call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
        The new Blazer is pretty cool, sporty SUV, and it would no matter what it is called.
        Just like the new Mustang EV
        For instance my brothers name is Mike and I don’t like You(Mike) making his name look bad?!?!?
        That just sounds stupid huh????
        after all “What’s in a name?”

        Sales sadly aren’t there even though it is the best sports car, can’t blame her for that, blame those that buy the over weight 10 year old challenger instead…

        Silverado with the old interior is a fantastic idea. It keeps costs down for those buying work trucks and actually use them as the interior is much better set up as a truck interior, why are you complaining? You’d probably just buy the box checker version and not put a thing in the bed or on the hitch then complain about a rough ride and lack of massaging seats.

        Blazer name has no heritage. It was two decade run on a hand me down platform before being transferred to smaller suv’s and family vehicles, which is exactly what the Blazer is and selling well in the process.

        They have the off road market with the ZR2’s in all sizes and expanding on the other models. They are going after a new market with the luxury electric off roader as they don’t need to saturate the wrangler/bronco arena.

        GM is doing great, selling everything they are able to produce in this market and having fantastic profits which is a key indicator of how a business is run. They’d rather sell a bunch of stuff for profits than lose money making small niche markets happy. Can’t blame them, they still make excellent products overall and are financially healthy.

          COMMONSENSE , you sound just like Brandon , Warren and the squad , you like polishing a 40 year old car sitting in a junk yard and calling it new. In This market you have 2 million people chasing a half a million trucks and are desperate, just like Ford and Ram currently. you say they don’t saturate, GM stays 5 years behind. Blazer is the same stupid crap Ford did with bronco sport , its a frigging POS Escape.
          Bronco and Jeep are dominating. ZR2 is a catch up model. OLd interior sucks, even GM stated they need to catch up.
          Gm duramax from 2015 , basically the same now in 2022 . the new 1100 lb will be funny numbers just like Ram going to 1075 last year and there is no real difference from 2018 towing of 950 lb, carrot dangling from GM and Mary barry ass bean counting.

        The Camaro is not Mary’s fault. Not unless she designed it. The design /management is to blame for the Camaro as they built the car few wanted. If it didn’t look like a cartoon with terrible ergonomics it would have sold better, but they went straight MAX CAMERO!!!

      The 2022 order guides are up for the Silverado and Sierra HD’s on the GMFleet website and they confirm minor changes for the 2022MY.

    I agree with Mike. I have been a GM guy for decades but im pretty disappointed and getting more so every year. I am pretty sure im switching to a Ram next truck I buy.

      You don’t remember the 70’s and 80’s American cars??????
      C’mon ALL BRANDS ARE AWESOME compared to those Emissions controlled choked out cars of those days
      I think some of those Vettes were making under 200 HP being choked by emission control devices.

      Disappointed??? RAM is owned by a Dutch auto conglomerate(Stellantis)
      SO GM and Ford are the only American car makers left from that bad era of auto manufacturing
      and I think they are making really nice vehicles now compared to the past.
      I am also a shareholder in both GM and Ford so I am a bit biased but I think American cars have made great strides since the new millennium and look forward to purchasing future vehicles from them.

      Hope that Ram cranks up all the time for you. At least I don’t have all those electrical issues from my GM like I did with my 2017 Ram Chrysler, from the fuel sender , to pump, to the infotainment issues and even a junk battery that died after a year and a half.

    Well, i hope someone thinks about bringing back the 4:10 rear end for those of us who still work in this country.Ford still has a 4:30 option. After almost 40 years,I think i will switch.

      They aren’t needed with 10 speed transmissions and 1,000+ ftlbs. This isn’t 1990 with four speed transmissions. Have you even looked at the transmission gear ratios? The current set up with the ten speed is like having a 5.xx rear end back in the day…

      1. Mr. Mike

        While I agree to a point, I think the gas HD trucks are doing 6 speeds with 3.73? They need either the 10 speed or a 4.10 option. 10 /3.73 would be ideal.

        Reply
        1. Amos

          The refreshed gas HD’s will be getting the 10 speed. That was one of my grips with GM after developing the 10 speed. They hardly put it into anything and are just now making it more available.

    Yup, I am GM forever, my dad and granddad both retired from GM, however I do wish they would produce something new to compete with the Wrangler and what about the Maverick? Those would sell!

    Reply
    1. Commonsense

      Well the maverick competitor while currently popular they are waiting (rightfully so) that it isn’t just a fad of new sales and that it holds a sustainable share. They have already seen the Santa Fe not sell in massive numbers.

      As for the Bronco, nothing is needed there, those sales are mostly fad. So many people buy them because it looks cool and are the new hype thing to buy, then sell later when they realize how poor they are for daily driving and it doesn’t work for their needs. If you don’t use it off road (most still don’t in this market though it is much higher than the other SUV’s and even trucks) it is rubbish as a daily driver. So no, they don’t need a Bronco fighter or a Raptor fighter (someone was bound to bring it up) as those are niche markets and you don’t saturate those. Instead you look for new markets or those under utilized. Currently they are looking at the electric off road market that things are heading towards. Once Bronco sales normalize past the whole two years of pre-order sales they won’t be as impressive (similar to the Gladiator, look where its sales are now trending after the early years).

    Well said Tom all these people on here if Marry Barra where MAN then she would do no wrong. Nothing is ever good enough they can make the interior out of gold and these people would still complain. I just laugh when these truck people commute in a pickup then complain about the gas prices.

    1. Mr. Mike

      How about they start making a full line of good vehicles first, them see if everyone still complains.

      The truck complaints are real and valid. Let’s not forget that a 1/2 ton truck that can tow 13k still has a 24 gallon fuel tank with no option to increase it. Your towing at 9-10mpg. You’re going to want to fill up at 150-180 miles. Even less if you’re in the middle of nowhere as you’re afraid you won’t make it to a pump.

      Who the F$+# green lit that? Fire him or her. They’re done. They don’t understand the market. They bring no value to the team.

    Hopefully GM paints the frames on the 2024 instead of using the crud currently being used. That crap dries up and flakes off….rusting IMMEDIATELY. Another engineering fail by the general. FIX IT ALREADY!!! I paid over 70k for a 2500hd…..and every time I work on it I’m covered in black goo.

    Reply

      But the frames are not at all known for rusting through like other brands. It works which is why they stick with it. The oil from past articles I read was able to somewhat “soak” they said in to the metal some and dipping it allows it to get inside and keep the nooks and crannies from rusting. So no, they don’t “ruse immediately” and like anything there is some surface rust in areas the chunk has been knocked off possibly, but either way that is a far out lie. Body panels, yeah we have seen that, but frames, nope. You have to look at other manufacturers for the rusting unsafe frames. I will take getting a little oil on me when working on my truck for better rust protection…

        You don’t live in the north, or own a GM pickup if you think their frame coating is a good idea. Just stop.

        You obviously have no clue what you’re talking about. I have 26 years experience as a collision tech. It is common knowledge that GM frames not only rust, but some rot out due to coating failure. Especially if the vehicle is driven in northern climates. I have seen 3-5 year old GM trucks with the frames damn near rotted through in places where the crud had flaked off. In no way am I a Ford or Dodge fan, but they are definitely better protecting their frames from corrosion far better than the general is. My ’19 2500 hd has only 10,300ish miles on it. I bought it new. It’s NEVER been driven in the salt and snow….and has been garaged since I took it home. ALREADY the frame coating is failing in spots and rusting. GM fix this!!!!!!

      Agreed it’s not likely since the 1500 was said to have rear changes as well and for the most part did not. The only change at all was the size of the bumper step cutout on trucks equipped with super cruise.
