2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
4th generation Silverado HD (introduced for 2020); 2023 is the fourth model year and the last year before the major 2024 refresh.
The 2023 Silverado 2500 is Chevrolet’s heavy-duty pickup for people who need more trailer, payload, and worksite capability than a half-ton truck can comfortably handle. Chevrolet markets Silverado HD around big towing numbers, durable bed and chassis hardware, and trailering technology that makes hauling easier. The model’s core appeal is straightforward: a choice of gas or diesel V8 power, serious work capability, and a trim range that stretches from basic jobsite truck to high-end towing and long-distance comfort.
The 2023 Silverado 2500 ranges from the utility-first Work Truck to the luxury-focused High Country. Work Truck has a gas V8, built-in towing hardware, and an easy-clean cabin, while LTZ adds leather and heated front seats. High Country tops the lineup with four-wheel drive, heated and ventilated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, and multiple trailering cameras.

2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
(116 reviews)
“Mirror blind spot. Safety features need work. Rattles in the front. Pulls great for the type of load I pull. Nice ride.”
“I am 5'10" and have 36-inch legs. The truck has the best legroom for both the driver and passenger seat. I can actually cross my legs comfortably in the passenger seat.”
