2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country Duramax: Is The New LZ0 Duramax Actually Better? 

Just bought the 2023 High Country 3.0 Duramax in Northsky Blue. We love it! We took a 5000 mile road trip (literally right off the Dealer lot) from Arizona to New York and back. Zero issues. went through 12.5 Gallons of DEF, and got an average of 25.6 MPG with an average of 56 MPH (with 20-30mph headwinds 70-80% of the time.) Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and reliable. Tech is more than adequate.

This powertrain is awesome, you have to drive it to truly appreciate it.

After trying for a 2022 gmc AT4 4x4 3.0 diesel all last year my build finally got picked up as a 2023. Should get it by January or so. Cant wait!

This seems to be the best value in a higher optioned pick up.

That white paint is brilliant! Looks luxury

Got my 2022 metallic sand dune colored silverado diesel, 5 k miles into it and has been running strong

If GM still had the 4.3L V6 they could pair it to their 8 speed transmission to help with the highway mpg. I think the trucks they are selling lately are overpriced and won’t have good longevity.

Love the new duramax engine sounds good love it so much. Chevrolet built a awesome truck for a diesel truck

I still prefer the Denali Ultimate. But 90K is a little out of my willing purchase price. The High Country is the top of my willing purchase price.

You reported towing of 9K lbs, whereas some people are reporting 13,300K lbs for the 2024 LM0 engine. What changes dis they make in 2024 for the 4300 lb difference? Thanks as always. I love your channel!

Loved my 3.0 before my issues:( sadly had to get rid, GM took care of me tho. Now have a new 2022 6.2 and love it. Miss the mpg of the diesel, wish I could have ordered another at the time! But wasn’t available, I just happen to have the one lemon and I’d still tell anyone to buy one! Just an emissions system issue with mine they could not resolve after several attempts, once deletes become available I’ll have another!

My very first pickup truck! Nice video Ben.

With how good the new baby Duramax is, I can't help but think that GM really dropped the ball in not offering it in the Colorado/Canyon. Given that they are only offering the four cylinder, it's likely that they can't add it later if they wanted to. People who I have spoken to with the diesel in Colorado/Canyon LOVE them & I know I'd very serious look at that combo with my next vehicle purchase.

I Loved The Duramax Diesel With That New One & I Loved That With A Max Trailering Package.495 Pound Feet Of Torque Is Definitely The Better One But I Wish The 6.2 Will Have It.

It’s Too Bad the New 2023 Chevy Colorado will NOT have a High Country trim, I would buy that as well.

I'm really looking forward to my '23 RST Double Cab with the LZ0 to come in. For the last three years I've been driving an '18 Canyon with the 2.8L diesel, and it's been a great truck, but I've had to put two turbos on it within the ~30k miles I've owned it due to ice ingestion (UP of Michigan and it do not get along). Now that the warranty is up, it's time to move up to a full size. When I test drove one at the local dealer I was just blown away, the 2.8 in the Canyon has a ton of throttle lag, the 3.0 does not. For something that's going to get comparable MPG, I think I'm going to be very happy. I doubt I'll replicate the 50 mile 38mpg average the Canyon got, but I had to really work for that.

I don’t know if great value and $70k belong together in a sentence. Vehicle prices are insane

Ours is on order and can’t wait! It’s been at the stock yard for over a month. Sure wish they would ship it! Great video!

driving a lot in the country I love the automatic lo/high beam feature

This engine in a 2000 pounds car would be incredible!!!

that's the same setup spec of a truck that i would trade in my 4th gen 1500 Laramie for if it was available but it won't be for sale for me until over half way through next year

Excellent review. If I ever replace my 2500HD, it will be this. Cheers from West Jordan

I would consider this over a well optioned RST. I much perfer these 20" wheels to the 22" gaudy looking ones.

Yay! my diesel trailboss got accepted by Chevy today

im gonna buy this same truck its on sale now for 62 grand the only thing i hate about the chevy n gmc is the early 1900s rear leafspring suspension

This is so much better than the new tundra capstone and its 15k less in the marketplace

Man those are awesome

GM customers, and Cadillac customers in particular, wouldn't understand why the LZ0 Duramax isn't being incorporated into the Suburban, Escalade and Escalade ESV.

When will this engine be available in the Yukon & Tahoe? Do you see a noticeable difference between this engine and the previous engine?

When you mentioned the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty i thought you said 336,000 mile warranty at first😂

Been waiting for a GMC order from this past March to be picked up. Very frustrating indeed

How many gallons can take the tank for this truck !? Thanks

Help! I just purchase a 2023 Silverado with the 3.0 liter Duramax. Spokane Washington. HOWEVER- the diesel is shown as a $2390.00 option. Not $950.00-- what gives?

How can anyone say this looks better than a Ford

Hi Ben - struggling with a decision, are you going with a Duramax AT4 or High Country 4x4? Basically same money.

Hey Ben, would love to see a review of a regular cab truck if any..

Hey Ben, you had mentioned you were going to be doing a video of a bronco wildtrak with the hoss 3.0. Will that video be dropping soon? I’m interested to see it. Thanks!

It would be nice if the 2 wheel drive models were mated to a 6 speed manual ! 35 mpg would be possible if not more !

Does that have the towing package? Asking because you state it’s punchy so wondering what rear end it has.

Have you heard about the GM APPTOVED use of HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION in the LMO ? What's going on, GM? Can't you build an engine that doesn't use oil?

Im looking to buy one once I find one available

I am waiting to the price go dawn to buy one 🙄 maybe in 2024 🥴

Lariat with a lot of options is under 70 and a better option.

2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country 3.0L Duramax Diesel Crew Cab 4X4!

What about the diesel shortage?

After 8 months of waiting I gave up on gmc and got a new f150 twin turbo 400 hp, is so glad gmc treated me the wat they did and forced me to look elsewhere,the ford absolutely kills this gmc At4 thank you gmc,

when will the 2023 trail boss with the duramax be available?

If this motor was available earlier in the year I would have chosen it over my 6.2. The 6.2 feels sluggish unless you really push it to the floor.

Can this tow a 5th wheel safely

$69K and you say its looking like a deal! Tells me you are on the side of the dealership not the consumer

It just looks like a GMC Sierra Denali like just the body, Also where are you.

When are you gonna buy one?

I've never had a diesel. I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 with just about every option except auto running boards and I have the 5.3 V8. Been a great truck so far but I'm wanting a 2023 High Country. My plan is to get either the 6.2 V8 (which I've also never had before) or the diesel. I've been leaning more and more into the 6.2. How does the diesel compare to the 6.2 and which would you choose between those 2?

Have you looked into General motors 2022 vehicles still waiting for semi conductors. I ordered a 2022 AT4 refresh with 3.0 duramax. It was built in May. I have the Vin number and now I see your reviewing a 2023. Just curious

What is the point of the speed HUD on the windshield? Is it not enough to have one on the gauge cluster below?

ALL TRUCKS HAVE DOOR STORAGE, ALL HAVE REAR POCKET STORAGE, ALL

Hey is this engine faster than the 6.2 on 0-60 ???

No you dont feel any difference between lz0 and lm2 as far as driving, feeling, torque and hp!

No yiu don't feel any difference as far as hp and trq compare to the lm2! Drive bothe of them back to back then you will find out! The increase in hp ans trq is on paper only which is just marketing

Chevy has the wrong Exhaust for this duramax diesel, does this truck have the auto stop start feature, the Eco Diesel still a better engine

I guess if u can afford $1300 payment and $4.87 gallon fuel it can be yours oh Don't forget sales tax

The refresh on the rims make it look cheap.

Ben, you talk too fast, can't take it

🔥👈

. Watch J Williams videos on trying to live with this motor. 8 trips to the dealer before they gave him a new truck with no duramax. LOTS of known issues

I really like that engine but it was a 3:73 gears or 3:23 I wonder

I definitely like what they did to the motor, but it still just has so much plastic inside. The updated dash is nice, but I'm still gonna pass.

no thanks ben🤣🤣🤣

Diesels are getting cheap, cost per gasllon so high they are not worth it.
