2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 review

What We Like

Variety of available body styles: Chevrolet offers the 2500HD in a variety of configurations, including a traditional single cab with an eight-foot-long truck bed. Buyers can also get a double cab with a small rear seating area or a full four-door crew cab with a 6.8-foot short bed or an eight-foot long bed.

Capable engine choices: Buyers can choose a gasoline-fueled V8 with 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, or spend a little more money for the turbodiesel engine with 445 horsepower and a potent 910 lb-ft of torque for better towing performance. In either case, the Silverado 2500HD has plenty of engine power for whatever work is required.

Advanced towing technology: The Silverado 2500HD can provide up to 15 camera views, including remote cameras looking behind large trailers and inside the trailer. The infotainment system can stitch together side views and rear views, and with some additional equipment and setup, can display on the dash a real-time Transparent Trailer View as if the trailer was not there. Also, side and rear views enable precision trailer placement and reversing.

What Needs Improvement

Interior design: Pickup trucks are more than just utilitarian vehicles to many buyers. They function as mobile offices and even living rooms. With that in mind, the Silverado 2500HD's interior may appear dated compared to other 2023 truck models, especially if the truck is a less expensive trim level. Other brands may offer larger screens and more advanced driver-assistance features.
