A redesigned full-size pickup with four engines, a big new screen setup and seven models, from the work-ready WT to the off-road ZR2.
Overview
Meet the Next-Generation Silverado
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a redesigned full-size pickup with four engine choices, including two all-new V8s, a bolder look and seven models that run from the work-ready WT to the off-road ZR2. Chevrolet lists it as available late 2026.
Chevrolet calls it the most powerful and advanced Silverado it has built, and it comes from the maker that says its full-size pickups are the longest-lasting on the road.5 The trucks Chevrolet has shown so far are preproduction models, so production trucks may differ in the details.
