Since we can't yet buy a Ford F150 in New Zealand, Chevy is one of only two brands offering real-life American pick-up motoring. It continues to be one of only two nameplates with that eight-cylinder soundtrack.
Two variants are being offered for 2023 – the luxury-focused Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium with standard Z71 package to enhance its off-roading capability and the new Silverado 1500 ZR2 offering a Ford Raptor-style boost to its all-round driveability courtesy of lifted suspension, bespoke dampers, additional off-road-focused drive modes and unique styling details that butch up its look and improve its approach and departure angles.
