The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado Redesign: Everything We Know So Far

By Jason Leck, General Manager

Originally published May 23, 2026 · Updated June 18, 2026 with official reveal details.

Big news for truck people: the Silverado just got its biggest overhaul in years. On June 16, 2026, Chevrolet pulled the cover off the 2027 Silverado 1500, and this isn’t a mild refresh with new headlights — it’s a full, ground-up, next-generation redesign. We’d built this page back when all we had were spy shots and patent drawings; now that Chevy has made it official, we’ve updated it with what’s actually confirmed versus what’s still coming later, so you get the straight story instead of internet guesswork. We’ll keep updating it as Chevrolet releases pricing and full specs.

What’s Actually Confirmed

Here’s what Chevrolet confirmed at the reveal and through its official materials:

• 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 now paired with a 10-speed automatic, and the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six.
• 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 that the Silverado won’t offer a 5.3L V8.
• Chevrolet claims the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the half-ton class (based on GM’s own estimates).
• The new V8s are built at GM’s Flint, Tonawanda, and St. Catharines plants.
• A simplified seven-trim lineup, with “Silverado” now used as a trim name in place of LT.
• Three cab configurations continue: regular, double, and crew cab.
• 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 Powertrain

The headline is the pair of all-new Small Block V8s. The 5.7L steps in for the old 5.3L base V8, and the 6.6L takes over from the 6.2L — and Chevrolet says this lineup delivers the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the class. Rounding out the four engines, the turbocharged 2.7L TurboMax returns with a new 10-speed automatic, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel inline-six carries on — GM trucks remain the only half-tons you can still get with a diesel.

For everyday Oklahoma duty — hauling feed, pulling a stock trailer, or just running gravel county roads — the practical takeaway is more power and better refinement across the board. We’ll post the exact horsepower, torque, and tow ratings the moment Chevrolet releases them. A hybrid option has been rumored for this platform but is not confirmed, so we’re not counting on it yet.

Interior and Technology

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.

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 converts into a workspace, and available dual wireless charging. Good news for folks who hate burying everything in a screen: Chevy kept real physical knobs and buttons, including for climate.

The Seven Trims

Chevrolet cleaned up the lineup into seven clearer choices — and expanded the off-road side with three lifted variants. Here’s the quick rundown:

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.

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.

When Can You Get One?

Chevrolet expects the 2027 Silverado 1500 to go on sale by the end of 2026. When a redesigned truck like this launches, the earliest builds are allocation-limited — dealers get a set number, and the people who reserved early get theirs first. Pricing hasn’t been announced; for reference, the current 2026 Work Truck starts around the high-$30s and the lineup runs past $75,000 for a loaded ZR2, so expect modest increases with the redesign and new powertrains.

Don’t want to wait? Great offers are available on the 2026 Silverado 1500 right now — and we keep a strong selection on the ground in Okarche.
