When it comes to pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado is a name that is synonymous with durability and reliability. The 2023 model is no exception, offering a wide range of powertrain options to meet the needs of any truck enthusiast.

The Silverado's powertrain lineup includes a 310-hp turbo four-cylinder, two V-8 engines, and a Duramax turbodiesel with 495 pound-feet of torque. The 6.2-liter V-8 engine, in particular, is a standout feature, delivering 420 horsepower and crisp steering, allowing drivers to experience a level of performance that rivals that of a Corvette. However, the Silverado's rough ride can be a bit jarring at times, reminding drivers that they are in a pickup truck and not a sports car.

The interior of the Silverado is conservatively designed, with so-so material quality. However, it does feature an enormous infotainment screen, which is a great feature for those who like to stay connected on the road. This feature is only available on certain trim levels.

The Silverado's towing capacity of 13,300 pounds is ahead of its GMC Sierra 1500 sister pickup and the Ram 1500, but trails behind the Ford F-150. This makes the Chevrolet Silverado a highly competitive pickup truck that offers a great balance of power and performance. However, regarding the power, look for 2024 because the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD is getting more power, more technology and easier towing.

For the 2023 model year, Chevy has made some changes to the Duramax diesel powertrain. The updated turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax gains 28 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque, which results in an improved output of 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. Chevy has achieved this by returning the turbo, new pistons with a revised combustion bowl, and new fuel injectors, which have helped give the new diesel more muscle.

Overall, the Chevrolet Silverado is a durable and reliable pickup truck that offers a wide range of powertrain options and a competitive towing capacity. The 2023 model year changes have improved the Duramax diesel powertrain, making it an even more attractive option for truck enthusiasts. With the Chevrolet Silverado, you can be sure that you are getting a truck that can tackle any job, Monday through Sunday.
