The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup that's built to handle the most demanding tasks with ease. Boasting a wide range of engine options alongside best-in-class towing and payload capacities, this truck is at home on the worksite while providing a high level of comfort in everyday driving. Here are the highlights of the 2023 model.
Choose Your Powertrain
The Silverado 1500 is available with a choice of four high-end engines, each featuring standard all-wheel drive. There's no shortage of power even at the entry-level, with a 2.7-litre turbo engine delivering a hefty 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up a trim level, a 5.3-litre V8 engine delivers an enhanced 355 horsepower, with a slightly reduced 383 lb-ft of torque. This engine also includes a smooth and responsive ten-speed automatic transmission. The most powerful gas-engine variant is the 6.2-litre V8, which cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, again paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. Lastly, the available 3.0-litre diesel engine boasts 495 lb-ft of torque, which combines with 305 horsepower to produce a true workhorse capable of hauling an up to 1,025 kg payload with an impressive 6,033 kg in trailer weight following behind.
Customizable Interior Options
The Silverado 1500 offers a versatile range of interior options. At the base level, you can expect a rugged, no-nonsense set of features and comforts, and moving up the trims delivers genuine luxury with available options including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Technology options include a customizable 12.3-inch digital driver information display behind the wheel, alongside a huge 13.4-inch touchscreen for infotainment and navigation. Smartphone integration is made easy through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with the Google Built-In system seamlessly plugging your Google accounts and apps directly into the Silverado's system. To complete the tech picture, both wireless charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot facility are available, delivering a level of sophistication more often found in a premium family SUV than a workhorse truck.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assist
The Silverado 1500 is equipped with a generous suite of active safety and driver assist functions that combine with the truck's rugged design to make every journey as safe as possible. Key features include:
- Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
- Lane departure warnings with lane keep assist
- Following distance indicator with forward collision alerts
- Blind zone monitoring with trailer awareness
- Front and rear parking assist
As a final bonus, Chevrolet's Super Cruise system is available as an upgrade, offering full hands-free driving experience on more than 640,000 km of highways throughout Canada and the US.
