2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The TurboMax™ Engine

The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's heart beats with the remarkable TurboMax™ engine. This engine generates an astounding 430 lb.-ft. of torque. The TurboMax™ engine has a distinct dual-volute turbocharger, ensuring torque that is both consistent and instantly accessible, amplifying towing capabilities and guaranteeing immediate power.

Built for Resilience

Given the intrinsic stress on turbocharged engines, the TurboMax™ has been crafted to withstand such demands. Its strength comes from tri-metal rod bearings, precision-engineered crown pistons, and a stalwart cast-iron ring carrier, all enhanced with a PVD-coated steel top ring. These design choices position the TurboMax™ engine to capably handle intense loads, all while maximizing the benefits derived from turbocharged power.

Detail-driven Durability

The TurboMax™ engine's durability stems from its thorough design. Chain drives are engineered to last the engine's entire lifespan. Hydraulic tensioners are integrated to offset undue stress on the chain drive systems, mitigating the likelihood of early wear. To further increase durability, the lower crankcase extension is innovatively crafted to support the main bearing caps, bolstering the engine's ability to accommodate the immense pressures that come with turbocharging.

Temperature Management

The TurboMax™ engine's design accounts for higher operational temperatures by incorporating spiny lock nodular cast-iron liners, providing a durable wear surface for piston rings and enhancing heat transfer. Sodium-filled exhaust valve stems, high thermal conductivity valve seats, and guides regulate exhaust temperatures, especially under strenuous conditions. A strategically positioned turbocharger ensures oil flow and efficient coolant circulation. This helps sustain the turbocharger at ideal temperatures post-engine shutdown. In more intense situations, an auxiliary electric water pump can provide additional after-run cooling.

Towing and Trailering

The Silverado is capable of trailering up to 13,300 lbs and a payload capability of 2,260 lbs. Tasks are simplified with technological innovations like the Trailering App and the myChevrolet Mobile App tailored for trailering. Visibility is unmatched with the Silverado's state-of-the-art camera system, offering 14 views through up to 8 cameras. And for practical loading solutions, you have the option of the versatile six-function Multi-Flex Tailgate or the power-up-down tailgate.
