Chevrolet Silverado 2023
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: Like the stereotype of American-made vehicles, the Silverado is a relatively uncomplicated proposition with pros and cons that are easy to identify. Subtlety is not its forte, nor is it difficult to get a read on where the vehicle excels and struggles. With that in mind, the final verdict should be a simple case of balancing those upside and downsides. But it’s at that point that the equation becomes less obvious.

The 2023 Chevrolet SILVERADO carries a braked towing capacity of up to 4500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Colours
The usual colour suspects are all here, including metallic reds and blues and, of course, black for the urban-noire squad. We've also seen the ZR2 is a very fetching metallic beige which is much better than it sounds but, it seems, won't be offered here as it's being phased out by GM globally.

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Accessories
While the LTZ Premium is well equipped, it's the standard features added to the ZR2 that make for headlines. As well as raised suspension, the ZR2 also gets clever, adaptive dampers that do wonders for the ride quality. The catch is that the ZR2 loses the sunroof , side-steps and power-adjustable steering column, all in the name of saving a few kilograms.

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Chevrolet SILVERADO here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 good for towing?
You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.
As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.

Are Holden bringing the Silverado to Australia?
We are not aware of any plan for Holden to bring in the big Chevy pickup. The Silverado is already available on the local market, with several small importers bringing it in.

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Interior
Chevrolet has moved to the increasingly popular twin-screen layout and the centre-stack, in particular, is a big improvement over what went before. The loss of the old car's analogue gauge layout and column-mounted gearshift, however, doesn't seem like such a step forward.
The rear seat also seems to be missing the necessary overhead grab-handles and the rear air vents are too small to be totally effective.
Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Engine
We're talking full-on Americana here. From the land where anything with less than 18 wheels runs on petrol, not diesel, the Silverado packs a 6.2-litre V8 punch. Torque is 624Nm and the end result is potent, relatively quiet and way more refined than most turbo-diesels.
Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Towing capacity
The Chevrolet SILVERADO’s towing capacity ranges from 4200kg to 4500kg. Some models also offer heavy-duty or towing option packs which can increase towing capacity, as well as options which can hamper towing capacity. Towing capacities can vary wildly on a large number of factors. These include engine, transmission, model, and options chosen. Always check with the manufacturer or in your vehicles handbook before attempting to tow anything.

Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Seats
The rear seat is a big improvement over the superseded Silverado with much better padding over longer journeys. Up front, the leather looks like it will wear well and the 10-way power-adjustment is welcome. The biggest problem is actually hauling yourself up and into those seats.
Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Speed
Though not at all about acceleration times, the Silverado's 313kW V8 engine nevertheless can get it up to speed pretty smartly. And like all good tow-trucks, it doesn't seem to really notice a load on the back at all.
The transmission helps out here, too, with a keen kick-down to keep the kiloWatts coming. Approximate 0-100km/h dash time is 6.5 seconds.
Chevrolet Silverado 2023 Range
With an official combined fuel consumption figure of 12.2 litres, the Silverado's 91-litre single fuel tank should equate to a range of just over 750km. In the real world - even at highway cruising speeds - that's going to be closer to 700 and perhaps even 600km if you don't like to push your luck between fill-ups. The requirement for premium unleaded does nothing positive for running costs, either.
