2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD ZR2
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 starts at $77,695 with the $2,795 destination charge, or $89,095 with the 8.3L Duramax diesel. It's the off-road trim of the heavy-duty lineup, with a factory lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, a rear e-locker and 35-inch mud-terrain tires.
In price order the ZR2 sits between the 2027 Silverado HD LTZ and the 2027 Silverado HD High Country. Our Silverado HD trim levels guide lines up all six trims, and the 2027 Silverado HD overview covers the whole truck.
How much is the 2027 Silverado HD ZR2?
The 2500 HD ZR2 has an MSRP of $74,900, or $77,695 with destination. That's $1,400 more than the 2026 ZR2.
| 2500 HD ZR2 | MSRP | With destination |
|---|---|---|
| 6.6L gas V8 (standard) | $74,900 | $77,695 |
| 8.3L Duramax diesel (+$11,400) | $86,300 | $89,095 |
| 2026 ZR2, for comparison | $73,500 | Not shown |
These are the announced prices reported by Autoblog, TFLtruck and CarBuzz. Options and paint add to them.
3500 HD pricing is not yet released.
What off-road hardware does the ZR2 get?
Chevrolet lists five pieces of off-road hardware plus Terrain Mode for the ZR2, the most trim-specific equipment it has published.
- 1.5-inch factory suspension lift
- Larger Multimatic DSSV dampers
- Rear electronic locking differential
- 35-inch mud-terrain tires
- Aluminum skid plates
- Terrain Mode
Edmunds reports the bigger tires add another inch, so the ZR2 rides 2.5 inches higher overall. On a washboard Forest Service road in the Idaho Panhandle, we'd expect the dampers to be the upgrade you notice most in a three-quarter-ton.
How does Terrain Mode work?
Terrain Mode is new for 2027, and GM says it's the first time the feature has been offered on its heavy-duty trucks.
It works in 4HI and 4LO. When you lift off the accelerator, the truck applies the brakes, so you can drive slow off-road sections with one pedal. GM also lists Normal, Tow/Haul and Off-Road drive modes for the 2027 HD, and Off-Road mode allows more wheel slip.
Our 2027 Silverado HD ZR2 article covers the trail side of the truck in more detail.
Gas or diesel ZR2?
The 8.3L Duramax adds $11,400 to the ZR2, bringing it to $89,095 with destination.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | ZR2 price with destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6L gas V8 | 412 hp | 472 lb-ft | $77,695 |
| 8.3L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 | 555 hp | 1,230 lb-ft | $89,095 |
GM rates the 8.3L's output as best-in-class diesel horsepower and torque. Chevrolet's maximum towing ratings for the HD lineup are 38,000 pounds gooseneck and 20,000 pounds conventional with the diesel, and 19,000 pounds with gas. Those are lineup maximums across configurations. ZR2-specific towing and payload ratings are not yet released, so don't assume a lifted truck on mud-terrains carries the top figures.
If the ZR2 hauls a camper to the trailhead, we'd pick the diesel. If it's mostly a hunting and backroad truck, the gas V8 keeps it under $78,000. Our 8.3L Duramax article has the engine details.
ZR2 vs. High Country vs. a Custom Trail Boss
The ZR2 is $500 less than the High Country and $10,000 more than the LTZ, so the choice comes down to what you'll do with the truck.
The High Country spends its money on luxury. The ZR2 spends it on suspension, tires and protection. If you'll rarely leave pavement, the High Country is the better buy for nearly the same price.
If you want some trail ability without ZR2 money, look at the Custom. For 2027, Chevrolet offers the Trail Boss package on the HD Custom for the first time, with 20-inch wheels on BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, a Z71 suspension package, an Autotrac two-speed transfer case and a Z71 skid plate. Package pricing isn't out yet, but a Custom starts at $53,295 with destination.
Every 2027 HD also gets GM's lineup-wide changes: electric power steering, eBoost brakes with 14.6-inch front rotors, and the Allison 10-speed. Full numbers are on the 2027 Silverado HD specifications page.
