Used 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup available in nine trim levels: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ and High Country. Like most full-size trucks, the Silverado is offered in varying cab and bed configurations, including a two-door regular cab, a four-door extended cab (Double Cab), and a four-door crew cab with full-size rear doors and generous rear seat room.

Depending on cab selection, the three available bed sizes are an 8-foot-long bed, a 6.5-foot bed and a shorter 5-foot-8-inch bed. Chevrolet also offers four available engines for the Silverado 1500:

  • Turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine (310 hp, 430 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic transmission
  • 5.3-liter V8 engine (355 hp, 383 lb-ft) with a 10-speed automatic transmission
  • 6.2-liter V8 engine (420 hp, 460 lb-ft) with a 10-speed automatic transmission
  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine (305 hp, 495 lb-ft) with a 10-speed automatic transmission

We've noted which engines come standard or optional on each trim. Rear-wheel drive is typically standard, with four-wheel drive an option. Other Silverado feature highlights include:

Which Silverado 1500 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're looking to get the most for your money, we recommend the midrange LT trim. You get a more dressed-up exterior when compared to lower trims, plus a handful of convenience, comfort and technology features. Adventure seekers would do well to spring for either the Trail Boss or ZR2 trim for their off-road abilities.
