The three top-selling vehicles in America right now are full-size trucks, and everyone here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse shares the love for massive-sized might and muster! It helps matters even more to know that you can get your hands on a very awesome Chevy Silverado 1500 during the days of summer when the hard work is abundant, and the blue lakes are calling you and your powered toys’ names. The 2023 Chevy Silverado has undergone a brand-new refresh, addressing a few fine details that make it much more capable and appealing.
The interior now has a more updated look, with materials that evoke a heightened sense of comfort and luxury. Consumers have always been quite upfront with just how modern a new instrument cluster should function and appear, and we rose to the occasion with a 13.4-inch central screen to be the head-honcho. There are now higher-quality knobs and buttons, with the harder and lower-quality plastics situated a bit lower than at an immediate gaze.
The exterior styling has been improved with a brand-new front end that has a sleeker aesthetic along with a completely redesigned grill. It blends better with new LED lighting clusters, in the modern touch of signature daytime lights. The Trail Boss version is the trim that evokes the most work-ready charm, sporting a two-tone hood with ample power bulges that result in a pleasantly intimidating stance. It's also more capable off-road, boasting a 2-inch lift and protective skid plates for the valuables underneath.
There are high-gloss and burly 18-inch wheels wrapped with Goodyear Wrangler tires that are ideal for the junction where the asphalt ends, and the rougher terrain begins. The bed has 12 tie downs for securing any type of precious cargo, and the multi-flex tailgate has six unique settings to assist with any stage of the loading and unloading game. Duramax diesel engine now has more readily available power and torque than before, with the torque’s excellent power kicking in just when you need it most during the lower rev range.
This makes for a swift-moving and stable ride characteristic that is perfect for a highway drive where you have just settled in for your destination. Even if you have the bed fully loaded and the seats full, you always feel as if you have enough available power, which is so very important when facing off with other competing trucks in the segment. The WTOP news team car review crew was able to easily see over 24 mpg as an average and felt confident handling it in all types of weather and road conditions.
