Where the 3.0L 6-cyl sits in the Silverado engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years it was fitted; the price is what cars carrying it ask today. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — the only fair comparison is an engine whose years overlap this one's.

The 3.0L 6-cyl Silverado: common questions

Which Silverado years have the 3.0L 6-cyl?

2020–2026, without a break — 7 model years in our VIN decode, across 144 factory configurations and 171,009 VINs.

What does a 3.0L 6-cyl Silverado cost?

$40,894 is the typical asking price across the 12,303 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

Is the 3.0L 6-cyl turbocharged?

Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

LZ0 — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
