The official 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 online configurator is now live at Chevy’s website, providing fans and potential customers with an opportunity for a little digital window shopping.
The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 arrives as the fifth model year of the current fourth-generation light-duty pickup truck, ushering in a few important changes and updates compared to the fully refreshed 2022 model year. Among these is the introduction of an updated powertrain lineup, with the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine replacing the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax as the “second iteration” of GM’s diesel-powered 3.0L six-cylinder. Output from the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 is rated at 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of toque, representing a 10-percent increase in power and 7.6-percent increase in torque compared to the LM2 diesel engine offered previously.
Further engine options include the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, and the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 also introduces a revised exterior paint list, with Cherry Red Tintcoat (paint code GSK) and Silver Ice Metallic (paint code GAN) dropped in favor of three new hues, specifically Harvest Bronze Metallic (paint code GXN), Radiant Red Tintcoat (paint code GNT), and Sterling Gray Metallic (paint code GXD).
Further notable additions include the debut of the 2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison, offered as a next-level off-roader that follows in the footsteps of the Chevy Colorado ZR2.
Under the skin, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 once again rides on the GM T1 platform, with production kicking off late last August. Production takes place at the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana, the GM Silao plant in Mexico, and the GM Oshawa plant in Canada.
Unfortunately, the 2023 Chevy Silverado is also facing numerous constraints, including constraints for the ZR2, Custom Trail Boss, and LT Trail Boss trim levels. Additionally, some units will be built without functional power outlets, per previous GM Authority coverage.

When you put your foot into it…..it hauls the mail…especially with that ten speed transmission!!!!
If I had to throw one negative at it, i wish the seats were more comfortable….like the seats in my 2003 H2 Hummer (GM).
