In addition, the 2023 Silverado 1500 Custom is also cost-effective, with a base MSRP of $42,900, making it affordable for most drivers who are on a budget.^[a]

A Standard Powertrain With Performance to Spare

Unlike some of the other Silverado 1500 models offered by Chevy, the 2023 Silverado 1500 Custom has a standard engine with no other powertrain options. This means you get the same performance no matter how you configure your truck. The standard engine is a 2.7-liter Turbo High-Output I-4. This comes paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. While it might seem odd to have a full-size pickup powered by a four-cylinder gas engine, this one uses a turbocharger to boost performance while also giving the Silverado 1500 Custom exceptional fuel economy.

The engine on the Silverado 1500 Custom has a dual overhead camshafts design with four valves per cylinder. It features Chevy’s variable valve timing technology to improve efficient performance, assisted by Active Fuel Management. The engine’s direct high-pressure fuel injectors help it deliver an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.

The Silverado 1500 Custom with rear-wheel drive gets up to 20 miles per gallon in combined fuel economy. Choosing available four-wheel drive reduces fuel economy slightly while providing better traction. For Bastrop drivers, it comes down to how you intend to use your truck. Some drivers might desire the better fuel economy, while others prefer extra traction for improved performance in inclement weather.

This engine is surprisingly powerful for its size. In fact, the Silverado 1500 Custom can tow up to 9,500 pounds, depending on how you configure your truck. The Custom has standard hitch control assist, making towing easier than ever. In addition, it can haul up to 2,260 pounds of cargo in its payload. So, the Silverado 1500 Custom is not just efficient. It is also quite capable.

Many Different Ways to Customize Your Silverado 1500 Custom

In addition to having a choice of drivetrain, the Silverado 1500 Custom comes in three different configurations, each of which offers two rows of seats. You can get this truck with a Double Cab and a standard 6.6-ft payload bed. This provides two pocket doors in the rear with less legroom but reduces the overall vehicle weight allowing for increased towing and hauling capability.
Chevy also offers the Silverado 1500 Custom with a choice of two different Crew Cab configurations. Both provide more legroom in the second row than the Double Cab. One has the same standard 6.6-ft bed, while the other holds a little less cargo in a 5.8-ft short bed. The standard bed provides 71.7 cubic feet of cargo space, while the short bed holds 62.9 cubic feet of cargo.

Custom Quality Inside and Out

The Silverado 1500 Custom rides on a set of 20-inch bright silver painted aluminum wheels. These come wrapped with all-season tires. Chevy offers the option of black-painted wheels if that is your preference. The Custom model also has body-color front and rear bumpers that give it a more attractive look than the Silverado 1500 WT model.

Chevy has given this model an EZ Lift tailgate, which will make loading and unloading your truck easier than ever. There is also a standard LED cargo bed light that will come in handy when you have to work at night. It also has Chevy’s trailering package included. This provides a hitch, platform, hitch guidance system, a seven-wire electrical harness, and seven-pin sealed connector for hooking your trailer’s lights and brakes to your truck. All of these standard features will help make towing and hauling easier in your Silverado 1500 Custom.

Chevy carries the customization inside of this truck with standard cloth fabric seats that not only look great but are also comfortable. The front seat has a 60/40/60 split bench seat, so you can fit up to six passengers in your pickup. The driver’s seat has a ten-way power positioning system with lumbar control. This will keep you nice and comfortable for the long haul.
The interior has carpeted floor coverings. In addition, Chevy includes a set of rubberized vinyl floor mats in the front and rear to help keep the flooring clean on rainy days. They are also removable, so you can easily rinse them off when you are cleaning your truck.

Each 2023 Silverado 1500 Custom has Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a seven-inch color touchscreen. This combines key vehicle information with a six-speaker audio system and connectivity for you and your passengers. You can connect up to two devices using Bluetooth, allowing you to make hands-free calls and texts while driving your Chevy. In addition, this has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can stream your favorite apps and music even if you leave your charging cables at home. Finally, the Custom has the Chevy OnStar system, which can come in handy if you encounter any trouble on the road.

Custom Safety Features Included as Standard

Chevy Safety Assist is a suite of driver assistance features designed to make driving your truck safer and easier than ever. The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom includes this suite as standard.

The Silverado 1500 Custom has a Following Distance Indicator, which will let you know if you are getting too close to the vehicle in front of you. The Forward Collision Alert will sound if there is the risk of an imminent impact with the vehicle in front of your truck so you can take evasive action. In addition, this will trigger the Automatic Emergency Braking if you get too close. This will boost the braking power of the Silverado 1500 Custom so you can avoid a crash or reduce the impact if an accident is unavoidable. There is also Front Pedestrian Braking, which works at lower speeds. If the system detects a pedestrian stepping off the curb in the path of your truck, the emergency brakes will automatically engage, helping you avoid striking the passenger.

One of the most common causes of accidents is when a driver becomes distracted and drifts out of their lane. Fortunately, the 2023 Silverado 1500 Custom has Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. If you start to drift out of your lane on the highway, an alarm will sound, and the system will begin using slight steering adjustments to get you safely back on the straight and narrow.

When you are driving late at night, it can be a real hassle having to turn your high beams on and off. The standard IntelliBeam high beam assist takes care of this for you. If you enter an area with low light, the system will automatically turn the high beams on and then turn them off when you enter an area with better lighting. It will also turn them off if it detects another motorist, so you won’t cause them to be distracted. In this way, you can spend more time focusing on your driving.

The Custom model is also equipped with a remote start and theft-deterrent system. First, this will help you start your truck remotely, so you can cool down the cab on hot summer days and warm it up on cold winter mornings. Second, it will help deter unauthorized entry into your cab by sounding the horn and flashing the turn signals. As a result, it will reduce the risk of someone stealing your truck or the belongings you have inside the cab.
