2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 review

What We Like

• Hauling: The Silverado 3500 excels at hauling any combination of beds, dressers, and various pieces of household furniture in its cargo bay. The payload maxes out at just over 7,000 pounds. 

• Solid powertrain: The optional 6.6-liter turbodiesel is an impressive engine that gives the Silverado 3500 strong towing numbers. Its low-end torque helps with off-the-line acceleration and shifts from the six-speed automatic are smooth, even under full-throttle acceleration.  

• Interior storage: The Silverado 3500 has plenty of pockets: the front and rear doors, the center console, and two glove boxes. These are perfect for storing items such as a laptop, tools, water bottles, and more. There's a place for nearly every item you'd want to keep on hand when on the road. 

 What Needs Improvement 

• Needs better visibility: Sizable windshield and door pillars give the 3500 a few blind spots. Its large towing mirrors help with lane changes, but knowing where this truck's corners are can be tough. A rearview camera comes standard, but if you want the multi-angle surround-view camera, you'll need to opt for the top High Country trim.
