2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD Work Truck
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD WT is the lowest-priced 2027 Silverado 2500 HD trim, at $47,200, or $49,995 with the $2,795 destination charge. The 6.6L gas V8 is standard, and the new 8.3L Duramax turbo-diesel is an $11,400 option that puts a diesel WT 2500 HD at $61,395. Knudtsen Chevrolet in Post Falls can help contractors, fleets, farms and ranches from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane order a WT.
Want the full lineup first? Our 2027 Silverado HD trim levels guide lines up all six trims, and the 2027 Silverado HD overview covers engines, towing and technology for every model. One step up from the WT is the 2027 Silverado HD Custom.
What Is the 2027 Silverado HD WT?
The WT is the entry trim of six, and Chevrolet positions it as a hard worker on and off the jobsite.
It costs $1,000 more than the 2026 WT, which listed at $46,200 before destination. We'd expect most WT buyers to be contractors, upfitters, plow operators, and farm and ranch owners who care more about the hitch than the seats.

Gas or Diesel in the WT?
Both 2027 HD engines are offered on the WT 2500 HD: the standard 6.6L gas V8 at 412 horsepower and the available 8.3L Duramax at 555 horsepower. Both use the Allison 10-speed automatic.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max towing | Max payload |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6L gas V8 (standard) | 412 hp | 472 lb-ft | 19,000 lbs | 6,990 lbs |
| 8.3L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 ($11,400) | 555 hp | 1,230 lb-ft | 38,000 lbs gooseneck; 20,000 lbs conventional | 6,170 lbs |
These are Chevrolet's maximum ratings across all 2027 HD configurations, not WT-specific figures. GM rates the gas V8 for best-in-class standard torque among 2027 HD gas engines, and the 8.3L for best-in-class diesel horsepower and torque.
If the weight rides in the bed or a service body, we'd keep the gas engine and the $11,400; Chevrolet's top payload rating is higher with gas. Pulling a heavy equipment trailer every week? The diesel pays its way. Our 2027 Silverado HD diesel vs. gas comparison and our look at the updated 6.6L gas V8 go deeper.
What's New for 2027 Across the HD Lineup
Four mechanical changes reach every 2027 Silverado HD, the WT included: a stronger gas V8, the new 8.3L diesel option, electric power steering and eBoost electronic brake boost.
GM says the electric rack-and-pinion steering has about 30% more power than the old hydraulic gear and gives full assist at any engine speed. eBoost pairs with 14.6-inch front rotors and four-piston fixed front calipers, and GM calls both the steering and the brake booster segment firsts. With the 8.3L, GM says the Allison 10L1000 10-speed gets advanced shift logic.
In the cab, Chevrolet lists a 13.4-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch Driver Information Center, up to 14 available camera views and eight years of OnStar Basics for the 2027 HD.
Chevrolet hasn't released the 2027 WT's standard equipment list, so we can't yet say which screens, cameras or trailering features come standard on this trim. Full numbers are on our 2027 Silverado HD specifications page.
WT or Custom?
The Custom costs $3,300 more than the WT, $53,295 against $49,995 with destination. Chevrolet pitches it as the value trim with more style, and for 2027 it gets the Trail Boss package for the first time.
For fleets and upfits, we'd stick with the WT and spend the difference on the engine or equipment. If it's your personal truck, price a Custom too.
