Chevrolet officially revealed the 2027 Silverado 1500 on June 16, 2026, and priced it on September 18, 2026 — so this is no longer a rumor page, it’s the real truck with real numbers. It’s a full, ground-up redesign with four engines topping out at 481 hp and 501 lb-ft, a seven-trim lineup starting at $38,600 (before destination), standard 16.3-inch and 12.2-inch screens on every trim, and a bolder new exterior. It goes on sale late 2026. Here’s the whole story, confirmed spec by spec.
Big news for truck people, and we mean that: the Silverado just got its biggest overhaul in years, and now it’s got the numbers to back up the hype. On June 16, 2026, Chevrolet pulled the cover off the 2027 Silverado 1500 — a full, ground-up, next-generation redesign, not a headlight refresh — and on September 18, 2026, they finally told everyone what it costs. We built this page back when all we had were spy shots and patent drawings. Then we updated it at reveal, when Chevy gave us the shape of the truck but held back the horsepower and the sticker. Now we’ve got both. This is the version where the guesswork is over.
What’s Actually Confirmed
The 2027 Silverado 1500 is a complete redesign with two new V8 engines (5.7L and 6.6L making up to 481 hp), a seven-trim lineup priced from $38,600 to $77,200, standard 16.3-inch and 12.2-inch screens on every trim, and an all-new exterior. It goes on sale by the end of 2026.
Here’s everything Chevrolet has now confirmed, through the official reveal and the official pricing release:
- It’s a full redesign, not a refresh — an all-new, next-generation Silverado 1500.
- Four engines: two next-generation Small Block V8s (a 5.7L and a 6.6L), an enhanced 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder, and the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six — all four now paired with a 10-speed automatic.
- The 5.7L V8 replaces the old base 5.3L, and the 6.6L replaces the 6.2L — the first time since the 1999 model year the Silverado hasn’t offered a 5.3L V8.
- Chevrolet’s 6.6L is the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the class, by GM’s own figures.
- A simplified seven-trim lineup, with “Silverado” now used as a trim name in place of LT.
- Official pricing, announced September 18, 2026: $38,600 to start, $77,200 for a loaded ZR2 (before destination).
- Going on sale by the end of 2026.
The New Look
Now that the camouflage is off, the redesign reads as a sharpened, more modern take on a familiar shape rather than a wild departure. Up front you get new LED headlights and taillights, a bolder front fascia, more pronounced wheel-opening moldings, and rugged rocker treatments, with lighting signatures that differ by trim. Dual exhaust is standard on Custom and above. It still reads unmistakably as a Chevy truck — just tougher and more planted. And for the old-school crowd: yes, a regular cab is still on the menu.
Engines and Performance
The 2027 Silverado’s four engines now have official numbers: 350 hp / 455 lb-ft (2.7L TurboMax), 402 hp / 428 lb-ft (5.7L V8), 481 hp / 501 lb-ft (6.6L V8), and 305 hp / 495 lb-ft (3.0L Duramax diesel). Max towing tops out at 13,700 lbs and max payload at 2,340 lbs, depending on engine and configuration.
The headline is still the pair of all-new Small Block V8s, and now we know exactly what they’re packing. The 5.7L V8 steps in for the old 5.3L base V8 and makes 402 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque — and it’s the one Chevrolet is calling out for best-in-class towing at up to 13,700 lbs. The 6.6L V8 takes over from the 6.2L and makes 481 hp and 501 lb-ft, officially the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the class. Rounding out the four: the turbocharged 2.7L TurboMax makes 350 hp and 455 lb-ft (best-in-class standard torque) and pairs with a payload rating up to 2,340 lbs, and the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six carries on at 305 hp and 495 lb-ft with up to 12,000 lbs of towing — GM trucks remain the only half-tons you can still get with a diesel.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing* | Max Payload* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7L TurboMax (turbo I4) | 350 hp | 455 lb-ft | 9,400 lbs | 2,340 lbs |
| 5.7L V8 (new) | 402 hp | 428 lb-ft | 13,700 lbs | 2,170 lbs |
| 6.6L V8 (new) | 481 hp | 501 lb-ft | 9,700 lbs | 1,510 lbs |
| 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel | 305 hp | 495 lb-ft | 12,000 lbs | 1,870 lbs |
*Max towing and payload figures are as-configured maximums and vary by cab, bed, drivetrain and equipment. All four engines pair with a 10-speed automatic. Ask us for the number on the exact truck you’re looking at.
For everyday Oklahoma duty — hauling feed, pulling a stock trailer, or just running gravel county roads — the practical takeaway is more power and more torque across the board than the outgoing truck, with a real spread between the four engines instead of just one “big” option and three afterthoughts.
Which 2027 Silverado Engine Is Right for You?
Four good engines is great for options and a headache if you don’t know trucks. Here’s the straight version, from people who sell these every day:
- Daily driver, light towing (boat, small trailer, side-by-side): The 2.7L TurboMax is the sleeper of the lineup — best-in-class standard torque at 455 lb-ft and up to 2,340 lbs of payload means it out-hauls what most people actually need, at the lowest price of entry.
- Serious towing — horse trailers, stock trailers, equipment haulers: The 5.7L V8 is the one to spec. 428 lb-ft and up to 13,700 lbs of max towing is the highest rating in the lineup, and it’s standard on High Country.
- Maximum horsepower, performance feel: The 6.6L V8’s 481 hp is the most naturally aspirated power Chevy has ever put in a half-ton, standard on ZR2. If you want the truck that pulls hardest off the line, this is it.
- Long-haul highway miles, fuel economy on heavy loads: The 3.0L Duramax diesel remains the only diesel in the half-ton class, and it’s the engine for owners who rack up highway miles towing or hauling regularly — diesel torque delivery is simply a different feel than gas.

The Seven Trims — and What They Cost
The 2027 Silverado 1500 comes in seven trims, priced from $38,600 (Work Truck) to $77,200 (ZR2) before destination — official pricing announced September 18, 2026. High Country gets the 5.7L V8 standard; ZR2 gets the 3.0L Duramax diesel standard.
Chevrolet cleaned up the lineup into seven clearer choices, expanded the off-road side to three lifted variants, and on September 18, 2026, finally told the world what all of it costs. Here’s the full rundown:
| Trim | MSRP* | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Work Truck | $38,600 | Fleet & commercial focus; still gets the new 16.3″/12.2″ digital displays standard. |
| Custom | $43,600 | 20-inch Technical Gray wheels, dual exhaust standard. |
| Silverado | $47,900 | Replaces the old LT name; 4WD models get Z71 package standard (skid plates, hill descent, off-road suspension). |
| Custom Trail Boss | $54,400 | 2-inch suspension lift, 34-inch tires, entry-level off-road. |
| Trail Boss | $61,200 | 34-inch tires, 2-inch lift, unique exterior styling and interior trim. |
| High Country | $71,700 | 5.7L V8 standard, panoramic sunroof (a Silverado first), 22-inch wheels, Super Cruise, real wood accents. |
| ZR2 | $77,200 | 3.0L Duramax diesel standard, 35-inch mud-terrain tires, front & rear electronic lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, forged carbon-fiber interior trim, Super Cruise with trailering. |
*Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, before a $2,795 destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Add the destination charge and the range runs $41,395–$79,995. Pricing per GM’s official September 18, 2026 announcement; subject to change.
Compared to 2026, the volume trims barely moved — Work Truck is up about $1,700 and the new Silverado trim lands right where the old LT did. High Country jumped the most, but it also picked up a lot more standard gear to go with it: the 5.7L V8, Super Cruise, the panoramic sunroof and the power tailgate are all now included instead of optional.
For our commercial and fleet customers, the Work Truck is the one to watch — Chevy built it specifically to play nice with upfitters. If you’re spec’ing trucks for a crew, that’s right in our wheelhouse: see our commercial Silverado trucks page and talk to us about upfits through our sister company, OEM Truck Equipment.
Interior and Technology
Every 2027 Silverado comes standard with a 16.3-inch center touchscreen and a 12.2-inch driver display — even the Work Truck. ZR2 and High Country add an 11.5-inch front passenger screen. Super Cruise with hands-free trailering is available, along with a reconfigurable Multi-Flex center console, dual wireless charging, and Google Gemini built in.
The cabin got the biggest glow-up. Every trim now comes standard with a 16.3-inch center touchscreen and a 12.2-inch digital driver display — a huge step up from the outgoing truck’s tech, and notable because even the base Work Truck gets it. Step up to ZR2 or High Country and you add an 11.5-inch front passenger screen (a Silverado first) bundled with a head-up display and a digital rearview camera mirror — over 60 inches of combined available screen real estate.
Other highlights: Super Cruise hands-free driving returns with trailering capability — still the only system that lets you tow hands-free — plus a reconfigurable Multi-Flex center console that folds flat into a workspace, available dual wireless charging for two devices, and Google Gemini built in as the voice assistant. Good news for folks who hate burying everything in a screen: Chevy kept real physical knobs and buttons, including for climate. Up to 11 available cameras give 19 total camera views around the truck.
What About the 2500 HD?
If you’re waiting on a redesigned heavy-duty Silverado (2500 HD / 3500 HD), here’s the honest timing: this reveal was the light-duty 1500 only. Multiple credible outlets report the next-generation Silverado HD won’t arrive until roughly 2028–2029, with the 2027 HD trucks largely carrying over their current design and proven powertrains (including the 6.6L gas V8 and the 6.6L Duramax diesel). So if you need a new HD sooner, the current generation remains a strong, fully capable choice — take a look at our 2026 Silverado 2500 HD page or call us anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a full redesign?
Yes. Chevrolet revealed the 2027 Silverado 1500 on June 16, 2026 as a full, ground-up redesign — not a refresh — with new V8 engines, a fresh exterior, a fully digital interior, and a simplified seven-trim lineup. It’s expected to go on sale by the end of 2026.
