Chevrolet has officially pulled the wraps off the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500, and the automaker is calling it the most powerful and advanced Silverado ever built. Revealed on June 16, 2026, the redesigned half-ton pickup brings an all-new exterior, a completely reworked interior, two brand-new V8 engines, and a simplified seven-trim lineup aimed squarely at rivals like the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500.
Here’s a complete, up-to-date breakdown of everything Chevrolet has confirmed so far about the 2027 Silverado 1500, plus what’s still expected to be announced in the coming months.
When Does the 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 Come Out?
Chevrolet says the 2027 Silverado 1500 is expected to go on sale by the end of 2026, with production reportedly starting in mid-Q4 2026. Order banks and full pricing have not been announced yet — Chevrolet has said both will be shared later this year, with dealers anticipating the ordering window to open in the second half of 2026, ahead of the first customer deliveries.
Only the light-duty 1500 has been redesigned for 2027. The Silverado HD (2500 and 3500) will continue to carry over its current design for now, with a full HD redesign expected further down the road.
2027 Silverado 1500 Redesign: What’s New on the Outside
This is the first ground-up redesign of the Silverado 1500 in nearly a decade, and it shows. The new truck features a bolder, more planted stance with a stronger, more expressive grille, thin daytime running lights positioned at the base of the hood, and C-shaped taillights out back. Rugged trims get prominent front tow hooks and heavier-duty bumpers, while off-road models add large fender flares and all-terrain tires for a boxier, more aggressive silhouette. Despite the extensive changes, Chevrolet says the new Silverado remains “unmistakably a Chevy truck.”
A Completely Redesigned Interior
The cabin has been overhauled from the ground up, borrowing heavily from the tech-forward Silverado EV interior. Every 2027 Silverado comes standard with a large center touchscreen (reported at roughly 16.3 to 17 inches) alongside a 12.2-inch digital driver display, along with a new, more functional center console designed for extra in-cabin storage. The High Country trim adds a panoramic sunroof — a first for the Silverado — and Chevrolet’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system has been enhanced to include automated lane changes, even while towing.
New V8 Engines Lead the Powertrain Lineup
The biggest mechanical news is under the hood. Chevrolet is retiring the long-running 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s in favor of two next-generation small-block V8s: a 5.7-liter and a 6.6-liter. Chevrolet says these are engineered for serious towing and work duty, building on more than 70 years of V8 development, though exact horsepower and torque figures have not yet been released.
The full 2027 Silverado 1500 engine lineup includes four options, all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission:
5.7-liter V8 — next-generation small-block gas engine 6.6-liter V8 — next-generation small-block gas engine, positioned as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class 2.7-liter TurboMax four-cylinder — carries over with best-in-class standard torque, now paired with the new 10-speed automatic 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six — returns as the class-exclusive diesel option
For reference, the outgoing 2026 engines produced 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque (5.3L V8), 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft (6.2L V8), 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft (2.7L turbo), and 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft (3.0L Duramax diesel). The new 5.7L and 6.6L V8s are expected to match or exceed those numbers.
2027 Silverado 1500 Trim Levels
Chevrolet has simplified and reworked the trim lineup down to seven distinct options, splitting them between everyday and off-road-focused models. The RST, LTZ, and LT Trail Boss names are gone, and the former LT trim is now simply called “Silverado.”
Work Truck (WT) — entry-level trim built for fleet and commercial buyers Custom — adds dual exhaust and 20-inch wheels over the WT Silverado — the new mid-range trim, replacing the old LT High Country — the top-tier luxury trim, now with a panoramic sunroof Custom Trail Boss — entry-level off-road trim with a lifted suspension Trail Boss — mid-level off-road trim ZR2 — the top off-road performer, with 35-inch tires, front and rear electronic locking differentials, Multimatic DSSV shocks, and a bold hood bulge; a ZR2 Bison Edition adds 18-inch beadlock wheels and extra underbody armor
How Much Will the 2027 Silverado 1500 Cost?
Chevrolet has not released official pricing yet. Based on current 2026 Silverado pricing (where the Work Truck trim starts around $36,000), industry analysts expect the 2027 base price to land close to $40,000, with fully loaded High Country and ZR2 Bison models potentially pushing past $80,000.
What’s Still Unknown
Chevrolet has intentionally rolled out the 2027 Silverado’s details in stages. Still to be confirmed: official horsepower and torque figures for the new V8s, towing and payload capacities, fuel economy ratings, a full active-safety feature list, and — most importantly for shoppers — final MSRP and the exact date order banks open. GM has said all of this will be shared later in 2026 as the launch approaches.
Bottom Line
The 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 represents the biggest overhaul of the truck in nearly a decade, with new V8 power, a tech-heavy interior, and a streamlined trim lineup built to take on the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 head-on. With pricing and order details still to come, the next few months should bring the full picture into focus.
