Back in April 2022, GM Authority reported that the then-recently refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 would have to make do without the power-folding trailering mirrors throughout the rest of the model year. Now, the option has been made available once again for the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500.
Tagged with RPO code DQS, the available-again trailering mirrors are power-adjustable, and include a heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, turn signal indicators, puddle lamps, perimeter lighting and auxiliary lighting. Notably, the mirrors are also power folding and manual extending.
For the 2023 Sierra 1500, this option costs $260 on SLT, AT4 and Denali trim levels. On the SLT trim, the mirrors require choosing the $995 Sierra Safety Plus Package (PED), the $1,670 SLT Convenience Package (PCY) and the $490 ProGrade Trailering System (ZL6) beforehand.
It’s worth noting that the DQS trailering mirrors were made unavailable during the 2022 model year, and were unable to be ordered at the production start of the 2023 model year.
In their stead, the certain trims of the Sierra 1500 were offered with manual-folding/extending mirrors (DPO), which included most of the features of the power-folding mirrors. These trims included the Pro, SLE, and Elevation, while the SLT, AT4, AT4X and Denali trim levels were not offered with manual-folding mirrors at all.
As a reminder, 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 is offered with four engine choices, starting with the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Further engine options include the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horses and 383 pound-feet of torque, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, which develops 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax, which churns out 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The Sierra 1500 rides on the GM T1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Silao Plant in Mexico and GM Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana.

The story above lists the diesel engine specs for the previous iteration of the 6 cylinder GM diesel.
One would expect that the writer would be on top of his game after nearly a year, but oh well, hard to find workers these days. 🤣 Just kidding, lots of numbers to keep track of.
Can the full power trailer mirrors now available for 2023 retro fit to a 2022 2500 SLE Sierra?

Your specs are for the old 3.0. Also you were talking about the availabilty of the trailoring mirrors for the GMC . Can you tell us if they are also now available for the Silverado 1500. Us Silverado guys would appreciate any update on trailoring mirrors. Thanks So Much. Gene
