GMSV confirms Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 for Australia in 2023 range

GMSV has confirmed the details of its 2023 Chevrolet Silverado line-up, with the factory off-roader ZR2 taking a flagship role while the LT Trail Boss has been axed.

The Silverado 1500 ZR2 will join the updated LTZ Premium to form the Australian range, priced at $124,000 and $121,000 before on-road costs respectively.

The ZR2 boasts electronic diff lockers front and rear, Multimatic DSSV shock absorbers and 33-inch mud terrain tyres, plus a high-approach steel front bar.

Other features include model-specific flares, a black chrome grille treatment, and a jet-black and greystone interior. Like the current range, it’s powered by a 6.2-litre V8 matched to a 10-speed auto.

“With the upcoming arrival of MY23 Silverado, we are taking the opportunity to redefine our lineup and offer a portfolio which delivers even greater levels of style and comfort, as well as a more refined interior experience, enhanced tech-features and a more dynamic appearance,” said GMSV director Joanne Stogiannis.

“This means the LT Trail Boss model will be discontinued, but we’re excited to share some fantastic news with our fans and confirm the debut of a new model to complement our popular LTZ Premium as part of the Chevrolet Silverado range,” she continued.

Arriving locally last year, the entry-level Trail Boss was priced at $106,990.

The MY23 range also brings updates for the LTZ Premium, including a facelifted front end with DRLs and new 20-inch wheels.

A redesigned interior layout now places the shifter on the centre console, and offers a 13.4-inch touchscreen alongside a 12.3-inch reconfigurable dash cluster. The standard Technology Pack also provides a rear camera mirror, 15-inch heads-up display and a bed view camera.

GMSV says the ZR2 is currently undergoing certification, with full specs including towing capacity to be released ahead of the pickup’s arrival in mid-2023.
