Did Chevy Redesign the 2023 Silverado Truck?

2023 Chevy Silverado

Truck enthusiasts are justifiably obsessed with the Chevy Silverado. This truck is larger than life, and gearheads have been eagerly awaiting the 2023 Silverado HD redesign, even though it just got a total refresh in the previous model year.

Some truck enthusiasts are especially interested in these models that come out right after a full redesign. The reasoning seems to be that one year of feedback gives the truck designers and engineers opportunities to tweak and perfect their work.

So, is the new 2023 Silverado HD a new and improved version of one of the most impressive trucks in recent memory? We sure think so, but only you can decide if this is the truck you’ve been waiting for. Here’s what you need to know about the new 2023 Silverado, including answers to all of the following:

  • How much does a new Silverado cost?
  • Has the 2023 Silverado been redesigned?
  • What are the best Chevy Silverado features?
  • How powerful is the new Chevy Silverado pickup truck?
  • What can I expect from the new body style of the Chevy Silverado?

A good way to start learning about this truck is by diving into the features that are new for this year.

Has the 2023 Chevy Silverado been redesigned?

Technically, the new changes to the 2023 Chevy Silverado are better described as a refresh than a full redesign. The 2022 model was a redesigned Silverado, but there are still some changes worth learning about for 2023. Updates include things like the edition of the first-ever Silverado ZR2 Bison.

There are also new color options and a newly available protective film to keep the exterior of your truck looking sharp. Chevrolet has also removed some things from this truck to focus more on what drivers really want.

For example, the Limited trim has been removed, as has the 6-speed automatic transmission. This truck is now available with an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission, both of which are better options anyway.

Chevy Silverado New Body Style

The 2022 model year brought a new body style for the Chevy Silverado, and the 2023 model will have the same shape. This truck looks absolutely massive from the front, giving you some idea of what kind of power is under the hood.

At the same time, the large body of the 2023 Silverado is surprisingly aerodynamic. Smart, thoughtful exterior design (coupled with efficient powertrain options) makes this truck capable of returning up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway and 24 miles per gallon in the city.

The big body also makes for a spacious interior that could fairly be described as cavernous if it weren’t also so comfortable. There’s plenty of room for people and gear, even before you start filling up the bed. Of course, the bed is a vital part of any pickup truck body. The features and flexibility of this one make it nothing short of a work of art.

How much does the new Silverado cost?

New vehicle prices seem to fluctuate a lot these days, so the best way to figure out the price is by finding your nearest Chevrolet dealership near Phoenix and talking about a specific truck. That said, you can start getting a good feel for how much the 2023 Silverado costs by taking a look at these prices that were reported by MotorBiscuit:

  • The Silverado Work Truck (WT) starts at $35,600
  • The Silverado Custom starts at $42,600
  • The Silverado LT starts at $46,700
  • The Silverado Custom Trail Boss starts at $50,500
  • The Silverado RST starts at $50,900
  • The Silverado LTZ starts at $55,700
  • The Silverado LT Trail Boss starts at $56,300
  • The Silverado High Country starts at $60,800
  • The Silverado ZR2 starts at $69,800

This selection of trim levels and prices gives drivers tons of options. If you’re just looking for a reliable workhorse without a lot of bells and whistles, the Work Truck lives up to its name. Then there’s the Custom trim level, which adds a handful or two of the most important upgrades at a fair value. Move up to the LT trim level or beyond, and you’re really starting to treat yourself to a special truck.

The upcoming Silverado ZR2 Bison, the first of its kind, is expected to start with an MSRP of $78,490, according to Chevrolet. This is said to include dealer freight.

The high-end Silverado is still super nice

There might not be much to the 2023 Silverado redesign, but there’s still plenty to be excited about. If you have a taste for the finer things in life, the top Silverado trim levels should make your mouth water.

At the High Country trim level, for example, you’ll start to get things like leather seats and classy wood touches. That’s not to mention all of the advanced technology that goes into a modern vehicle like this. Advanced safety and driver assistance features include things like Chevrolet’s semi-autonomous driving system, which delivers an unprecedented level of confidence on the road.

New Chevy Silverado Bison

Every once in a while, it seems like the engineers at Chevrolet say, “let’s see how far we can push automotive technology before we find our limits.” We’ve seen them do it with the Chevy Corvette in recent years. Now it’s happening with the Silverado.

It includes the new and improved 3.0-liter inline-six turbo-diesel Duramax engine. The more you see from the second generation of this motor, the more convinced you’ll be that the team at Chevrolet is showing off. Look for it to deliver power as great as 305 horsepower and torque of up to 495 pound-feet.

This is an increase of 10% in horsepower and 7.6% in torque. Those gains come from premium components like steel pistons, an updated combustion bowl, new fuel injectors, and a refreshed turbo compressor. The temperature control is better, too.

That’s plenty of power for towing and hauling on your next road trip through Arizona or beyond. Really, though, the Silverado ZR2 Bison is built for those parts of the world where there are no roads.

The stamped steel bumpers and underbody protection allow this rugged truck to stand up to a good deal of adventuring. The off-road suspension and locking front and rear differentials mean your truck won’t just survive the adventure – it will thrive in it.
