  Unveiled by Chevrolet the US nine months ago, the facelifted Silverado 1500 is due in Australian showrooms in the second quarter of next year (April to June) – three years after the original's launch – with a restyled front fascia, reworked interior, and a flagship ZR2 off-road grade.

  The $106,990 LT Trail Boss has been axed, and a new off-road model added for $124,000: the hardcore ZR2, pitched in the US half a step below the Ford F-150 Raptor, and as a direct rival for the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.

  All 2023 Silverado models benefit from a (subtly) restyled front fascia, with revised headlight clusters and new grille inserts, plus new 20-inch silver wheels for the LTZ Premium.

  Headlining the upgrades is an overhauled interior, with a retooled dashboard now home to a 13.4-inch centre touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch widescreen instrument cluster in front of the driver.

  Replacing an 8.0-inch infotainment screen and analogue dials, the new displays are the largest in the full-size pick-up class (by their diagonal measurement), exceeding the Ram 1500's 12-inch centre screen, and the Ford F-150's dual 12-inch screens.

  Other features fitted to the $121,000 plus on-road costs Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium include black leather trim, a head-up display, digital rear-view mirror, adaptive cruise control and an electronic gear shifter.

  New for 2023 is the ZR2, an off-road flagship model with similar intentions to America's Ford F-150 Raptor or Toyota Tundra TRD Pro – though without the power or extreme upgrades of the Ram 1500 TRX.

  Upgrades over standard Silverado models include 18-inch wheels with 33-inch mud-terrain tyres, front and rear electronic differential locks, DSSV dampers from racing specialist Multimatic, and a "high-approach" steel front bumper.

  Visual differences include unique wheel arch flares, a gloss black bonnet insert, black grille, and 'flow-tie' Chevrolet badge, plus black and grey leather upholstery.

  All models retain a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol V8 with 313kW and 624Nm, sent to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.
