For the 2013 model year, the Silverado 1500 and its hybrid variant will receive a few minimal changes - the most notable of which are three new colors, including Deep Ruby Metallic, White Diamond Tricoat, and Blue Topaz Metallic. The Imperial Blue Metallic and Black Granite metallic colors have been deleted. In addition, the 2013 Silverado will get a set of all-terrain tires (rather than the on-/off-road units on the 2012 models) and a few LPO options are discontinued, including the sliding bed divider, cargo management system rails, overhead utility rack, and the deluxe chrome package.

The changes are minimal in light of the new Silverado that is based on the K2XX platform that will bow for the 2014 model year.
