Buying guide: 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT
The Silverado 1500 LT is the workhorse trim of Chevy's full-size truck lineup, and it's priced to reward patient buyers. The LT sits above the WT (Work Truck) and Custom trims but below LTZ and High Country — which means inventory depth is the largest of any Silverado trim and pricing dispersion is wide. Buyers willing to cross-shop regionally can save $3,000-$5,000 on equivalent trucks.
The 2019 redesign introduced a roomier cab, aluminum hood, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel option. 2019+ LTs hold value 4-7% better than 2014-2018 K2XX-generation trucks even when mileage is matched. For buyers choosing between generations, the real question is whether you want the aluminum body panels (lighter, slightly better fuel economy, but more expensive body repair).
The 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 is the overwhelming majority of LT inventory and the strongest resale engine. The 2.7L turbo-four (added 2019) is common on base LTs and runs $1,500-$2,500 less than V8 equivalents at auction — good value for highway commuters but a drag on resale if you plan to sell within three years. The 6.2L V8 is limited to higher trims and rare on used LTs.
Crew Cab 4x4 Silverado LTs are the clear resale winner — they're what most buyers want and they move quickly on dealer lots. Double Cab 4x2 LTs sell for 12-18% less than equivalent Crew Cab 4x4 trucks and sit 2-3 weeks longer on lots. If you're flipping, stick with the Crew Cab 4x4 configuration.
Watch for the Z71 Off-Road Package on LT trims — adds skid plates, hill descent control, and a 2-inch lift kit. Z71-equipped LTs depreciate 3-5% slower than standard LTs in every region our data covers. The Texas Edition package adds 20-inch wheels and chrome accents and performs especially well in — unsurprisingly — Texas and the Southeast.
Trim-level notes
- •LT is the volume trim — comes standard with 17-inch wheels, cloth interior, power driver's seat
- •LT Z71 adds the off-road package — worth the $1,500-$2,500 premium on used examples
- •LT Trail Boss (available 2020+) adds 2-inch lift and off-road suspension — strong resale but limited inventory
- •LT Convenience Package adds remote start, keyless entry, EZ-lift tailgate — adds roughly $1,000 to value
Reliability & known issues
- •Active Fuel Management / Dynamic Fuel Management on 5.3L V8: occasional lifter failures on high-mileage units — worth a compression test
- •8-speed and 10-speed transmissions (2019+): shift quality complaints early-production, mostly resolved via TSBs
- •Steering column lock failures on 2019-2020 models — verify recall 22V-082 has been completed
- •Infotainment freezes on pre-2022 units — software update available, confirm latest version installed
2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: common questions
How does the Silverado LT compare to an F-150 XLT in used value?
Very close. At equal mileage and equipment, Silverado LT typically prices $500-$1,500 below an F-150 XLT, reflecting slightly lower residual. But the gap narrows on lower-mileage examples and closes entirely for 4x4 Crew Cab trucks in most regions. Our 60-day forecast shows both trims drifting in the same direction as macro truck demand.
Is the 2.7L turbo Silverado LT worth buying used?
It depends on your priorities. The 2.7L has strong torque and better fuel economy than the 5.3L V8, but resale is weaker — expect to lose $2,000-$3,000 more over a 4-year hold. Good for long-term owners who value fuel savings, less good for flippers.
What's the sweet spot year for a used Silverado 1500 LT?
The 2020-2021 Silverado LT Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5.3L V8 is the current sweet spot. Post-redesign refinements are fully worked in, pricing has settled, and 60-day forecasts are flat to slightly down — meaning buyers can take their time.
