GMSV announce new flagship model and MY2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 upgrades

GMSV has revealed details of updates and enhancements which will feature on the new Model Year 2023 Silverado 1500, including the addition of a new flagship model.

The LT Trail Boss model will be discontinued next year and is to be replaced with the Silverado 1500 ZR2 that brings an off-road focus to the Silverado range.

With “next-level” off-road capability from the factory, the new ZR2 comes complete with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, 33-inch mud terrain tyres and a new high-approach steel cut front bumper.

The ZR2 is distinguished by unique aesthetic cues such as a black chrome grille, raised hood insert, wheel flares, 18-inch glass black wheels and an exclusive black and grey leather interior.

Both the Silverado 1500 ZR2 and LTZ Premium will come with a 6.2-litre V8 paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For the 2023 LTZ Premium, a redesigned front-fascia complete with new daytime running lights is introduced alongside multiple interior enhancements including an electronic shifter placed on the centre console, a 13.4-inch infotainment screen and 12.3-inch configurable gauge cluster.

New 20-inch silver wheels with all-terrain tyres can now be found underneath the truck with a refreshed black leather interior like in the ZR2 model.

Technology updates include adaptive cruise control, and a technology pack containing a rear camera mirror, 15-inch diagonal heads-up display and bed view camera.

This all comes at a cost though with the Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium receiving a price increase that will be announced closer to launch.

“Aussies and Kiwis have responded with enthusiasm to the arrival of Chevrolet Silverado downunder, with the new full-size truck becoming a firm favourite for people who demand the benchmark when it comes to off-road adventures, long-distance touring and towing,” said Joanne Stogiannis, Director of GMSV.
