There’s a new Chevy Silverado 1500 for every type of driver in the Friendswood area. But if you’re looking for a truck you can take off-road, you should be looking at the 2023 Silverado 1500 ZR2. The Silverado ZR2 is built to tackle a wide range of off-road terrain, with plenty of ground clearance and a good approach angle. Learn more about the Chevy Silverado 1500 approach angle for the ZR2, and the Silverado clearance height for all nine trim levels, below.
The 2023 Silverado 1500 ZR2 approach angle is 31 degrees.
If you’re taking on any type of serious off-road driving, you need a vehicle that has an appropriate approach angle. The approach angle matters because it affects your vehicle’s ability to climb up steep inclines. In other words, the approach angle of an off-road vehicle refers to the steepest angle the vehicle can climb.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 is designed with off-road conditions in mind. It has an off-road cut front bumper than enables the 31-degree approach angle. The ZR2 is also the only Silverado 1500 configuration for which there is a manufacturer-confirmed approach angle.
Unlike the Chevy Silverado 1500 approach angle, ground clearance is something that Chevy has measured and confirmed for all nine of the Silverado 1500 trim levels. The ground clearance refers to the minimum amount of clearance between the bottom of the vehicle and the ground. Here is the Silverado clearance height for every trim level:
