2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The next-generation 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 debuts with new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines, a redesigned exterior, advanced digital displays and expanded off-road options.

Chevrolet has announced significant improvements in power, design, technology and off-road capabilities for the new Silverado 1500. The new Silverado 1500 is expected to go on sale later this year.

At the heart of the Silverado 1500 is an expanded powertrain lineup led by 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines. Chevrolet says the new Silverado offers the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in its class, reinforcing the brand's long-standing commitment to V8 truck performance.

The lineup will continue to include four powertrain choices, including an improved 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, now paired with a 10-speed transmission, as well as a Duramax 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine.

The exterior of the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has been completely redesigned with a bolder front end, a stronger stance, new LED headlights and taillights, and more distinctive trim-specific styling.

Inside, every 2027 Silverado 1500 features a new digital cockpit with a standard 16.3-inch center display and a 12.2-inch driver information center. Higher-end models, such as the ZR2 and High Country, add an 11.5-inch passenger display, a head-up display, and a rearview mirror with camera, creating more than 60 inches of available digital viewing space. Available dual wireless charging and a reconfigurable Multi-Flex center console add more everyday convenience.

The 2027 Silverado 1500 lineup includes seven trim levels: Work Truck, Custom, Silverado, Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country.

Off-road buyers have more choices than ever before. The ZR2 becomes the most off-road-capable Silverado ZR2 yet, with 35-inch tires, a 2-inch (50 mm) raised suspension, front and rear electronic differential locks, Multimatic DSSV shocks and the available ZR2 Bizon package developed with AEV (American Expedition Vehicles).

70 years of V8 excellence...We introduced our first V8 engine in 1955. Every generation since has built on the legacy and pride that came before it. Today, our American-assembled,* reimagined-from-the-ground-up 5.7L and 6.6L V8s stand ready to fuel our most powerful Silverado ever.

Our lineup of four hardworking engines includes the upgraded TurboMax and the class-exclusive* Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel along with the next-generation 5.7L and 6.6L V8s. Engineered for serious work, these V8 engines create the most capable and refined Silverado 1500 powertrain lineup ever, with improved power and torque.

Stronger Powertrain Lineup with Next-Generation 5.7L and 6.6L V8s...At the heart of the new Silverado 1500 is its most capable and refined powertrain lineup ever, led by available next-generation 5.7L and 6.6L V8 engines. Building on Chevrolet’s performance legacy — including the recently announced Corvette LS6 6.7L V8 — these new engines will be assembled by the skilled teams at GM’s Flint Engine Operations, Tonawanda Propulsion3, and St. Catharines Propulsion plants.

The Silverado 1500 now offers the most powerful naturally-aspirated V8 engine in its class4. Engineered for serious work and confident towing, these next-generation V8s deliver improvements in power and torque giving customers more choice without compromise. These engines underscore Chevrolet’s commitment to offering V8 power for truck customers and build on more than 70 years of V8 know-how and validation that customers can rely on for demanding jobs and everyday life.

“We pushed these engines through an extensive testing and validation process to make sure they deliver the durability, capability and dependability Silverado customers expect,” said Mark Dickens, executive chief engineer. “From tough towing scenarios to the daily demands our customers put on their trucks, these next-generation V8s were engineered and proven to perform in the real world.”

The Trail Boss also gets some serious off-road equipment, including 34-inch tires, a 2-inch (50 mm) factory lift kit and a special off-road hood.

At the top of the lineup, the 2027 Silverado High Country focuses on premium pickup truck comfort. It adds standard 22-inch wheels, a new High Country badging, an exclusive front grille finish, real wood decor, available microfiber materials and the first panoramic sunroof offered in the Silverado.

Chevrolet says pricing and additional availability details will be announced later this year.
