The All-New 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Everything That Changed
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a ground-up redesign, and almost nothing carries over untouched. Chevrolet revealed it on June 16, 2026, calls it the most powerful Silverado ever, and expects it to go on sale at the end of 2026. It has a new body, a new cabin built around a 16.3-inch touchscreen on every trim, a reshuffled seven-trim lineup that starts at $41,395, and a set of engines that brings back a famous number.
Is the 2027 Silverado 1500 a full redesign or a refresh?
It's a full redesign. Chevrolet started over on the exterior, the interior, the trim structure and the engine family, which is a much bigger change than the mid-cycle updates truck shoppers are used to seeing. For comparison, Ford's 2027 F-150 is a refresh. It's still the sibling of the GMC Sierra 1500.
If you want the spec-sheet version of everything below, our 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 overview keeps it all in one place.
What does the new Silverado look like?
The 2027 Silverado has a bolder stance, a new front fascia, new LED headlights and taillights, and wheel openings and rocker panels that are more sharply defined than before. Each trim gets its own lighting signature, so you'll be able to tell a Trail Boss from a High Country at night. Dual exhaust is now standard on Custom and every trim above it.
Wheels run from 17-inch steel on work-focused trucks up to 22-inch aluminum. There are three new paint colors, Apex Red, Pacific Blue Metallic and Trillium Green Metallic (all premium, extra-cost colors), joining White Sands, Summit White, Polar White Tricoat, Black, Riptide Blue Metallic and Sterling Gray Metallic. New packages include a Chrome Exterior Package and a Texas Edition.
What screens and interior tech come in the 2027 Silverado?
Every 2027 Silverado, including the Work Truck, gets a 16.3-inch center touchscreen and a 12.2-inch digital driver display as standard equipment. Chevrolet says that center screen is the largest in the class. The ZR2 and High Country go further with a standard 11.5-inch front passenger screen, a head-up display and a rear camera mirror, which adds up to more than 60 inches of total screen.
The good news for people who hate hunting through menus: Chevy kept physical switches for the controls you use most. The seats are all-new and wider, with designs specific to each trim. Dual wireless charging and a reconfigurable Multi-Flex center console are available.
What are the 2027 Silverado 1500 trims and prices?
There are seven trims, with starting MSRPs (including destination) from $41,395 to $79,995. The LT name is gone, replaced by a trim simply called Silverado, and the RST and LTZ aren't part of the 2027 lineup. Here's the ladder.
The 2027 Silverado Work Truck starts at $41,395. It's built for fleet and commercial buyers, with an easy-clean interior and a setup that suits common upfits for construction, utilities and municipal work. It still gets the new screens and the full standard safety list.
The Custom starts at $46,395 and now includes dual exhaust and 20-inch Technical Gray machine-faced wheels.
The new Silverado trim starts at $50,695. In 4WD form it comes with the Z71 package standard (skid plates, hill descent control and off-road suspension), and Super Cruise is available.
The Custom Trail Boss, at $57,195, is the entry point to the lifted trucks, with a 2-inch lift and 34-inch tires. The 2027 Silverado Trail Boss at $63,995 adds 34-inch mud-terrain tires, a dedicated off-road hood, monotube shocks and two unique interior themes.
The 2027 Silverado High Country starts at $74,495. It trades the old Western look for darker satin finishes, a Tritan Satin grille and 22-inch After Midnight wheels, and it's the first Silverado with a panoramic sunroof. Super Cruise, Adaptive Ride Control and the passenger screen are standard.
The ZR2 tops the lineup at $79,995. Chevy calls it the most off-road capable ZR2 yet, with 35-inch mud-terrain tires, a 2-inch lift, front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers and GM's first use of forged carbon-fiber trim. An AEV-built ZR2 Bison edition is also available.
We'll go through every trim in detail later this month. For now, our 2027 Silverado trim levels page lays out the full comparison.
What engines are available in the 2027 Silverado?
The 2027 Silverado offers four engines, all paired with a 10-speed automatic: a 350-hp 2.7L TurboMax, a 402-hp 5.7L V8, a 481-hp 6.6L V8 and a 305-hp 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. There's no hybrid.
The base TurboMax gains 40 horsepower and 25 lb-ft over last year, for 350 hp and 455 lb-ft, and it moves from an 8-speed to the 10-speed. GM says that's the best standard torque in the class. The two V8s are all-new Gen 6 small-blocks. The 5.7L displaces exactly 350 cubic inches and replaces the 5.3L; it's also the max-tow engine, rated up to 13,700 pounds with the Max Trailering package, which GM says is best in class. The 6.6L, at 400 cubic inches, replaces the 6.2L and makes 481 hp and 501 lb-ft, which GM says makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the half-ton class. The 3.0L Duramax stays the only diesel offered in a half-ton.
As always, towing and payload vary by configuration, trim and packages, so check the exact truck before you hitch up. And yes, the 350 is back. There's a lot more to say about these new V8s than fits here, so we're giving them their own post on October 12: The 350 Is Back: 2027 Silverado engine options explained.
What safety features are standard on the 2027 Silverado?
Every 2027 Silverado adds four new standard safety systems: Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert and Reverse Automatic Braking. They join a standard list that already includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Front and Rear Park Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert, IntelliBeam, the Safety Alert Seat and an HD Rear Vision Camera.
Can Super Cruise work while towing a trailer?
Yes. On the 2027 Silverado, Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance works while you're towing, and Chevrolet says that's exclusive in the segment. Ford has announced its own hands-free towing feature for the 2027 F-150, so expect that claim to get contested. Super Cruise is standard on High Country and ZR2 and available on the Silverado and Trail Boss trims.
A few limits apply. Lane Change on Demand and automatic lane changes are turned off while trailering, and the driver still has to pay attention to the road. Super Cruise comes with three years of OnStar, after which you'll need to buy a Super Cruise plan to keep using it. For long highway towing, it may be the most useful upgrade here.
When does the 2027 Silverado go on sale?
Chevrolet expects the 2027 Silverado 1500 to go on sale at the end of 2026. Arrival timing for specific trims and engines can vary, so tell us which configuration you want.
If you can't wait, current Silverados are on the lot now. You can browse new Silverado inventory at Knudtsen Chevrolet, or reach out to the sales team to get on the list for a 2027 the moment allocation opens up.
