Exterior Style, Features, And Options
This rugged truck has a compact but intimidating exterior style featuring outward-facing C-shaped headlights, a black grille with Chevrolet wording across the top, a miniature company icon on one side, heavy-duty black bumpers, and moderately deep and streamlined body lines. Standard exterior features include solar-absorbing tinted glass, 17-inch ultra-silver painted steel wheels, and 17-inch blackwall all-season tires. It has IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlights, halogen daytime running lights with reflector units, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, 12 cargo tie-down points, and a locking tailgate.
Exterior options for the 2023 Silverado 1500 include signature LED headlights and taillights, perimeter lights, 18-inch wheels and tires, painted mirror caps, and deeply tinted glass. You can add body-color door handles, a black bowtie front grille, LED cargo area lights with key fob controls, and an EZ Lift power release tailgate.
Other exterior options include rain-sensing windshield wipers, high gloss black bumpers, power-adjustable heated power-folding side mirrors with auto-dimming programming, and LED high-intensity reflector-equipped daytime running lamps with white tracer animations. Upgrade the tires to Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT versions for significantly increased off-road traction.
Interior Style And Comfort And Convenience Features
The interior styling of the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 leans heavily toward space maximization. Its headroom measures 43 inches in the front and 40.1 inches in the rear. The legroom measures 44.5 inches in the front and 43.4 inches in the rear. It’s a more even split between front and rear than in most trucks that favor the front row to the detriment of the back in both measurements.

Standard interior comfort features include vinyl seat upholstery, four-way manually adjustable front seats, rubberized vinyl floor coverings, and single-zone manual air conditioning.

LPO all-weather floor liners are available for the crew and double cab versions of the 2023 Silverado 1500, as are perforated leather upholstered seats.

You can upgrade the driver information center to a 12.3-inch multicolor digital display.

This truck’s entertainment options include a Bose premium seven-speaker sound system with a Richbass woofer, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 13.4-inch version of the infotainment system. The upgraded infotainment system is available with Google services, advanced voice recognition, and individual customizable profiles.
