2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2026 Silverado 1500 pickup truck is available in a wide set of trims to suit nearly all truck drivers. The WT (Work Truck) prioritizes utility, often paired with a long bed for maximum cargo volume (around 89 cu ft) and 12 tie-down points. For a more rugged look and enhanced off-road confidence, the Custom and Custom Trail Boss trims add features like a 2-inch factory lift and underbody protection. The LT trim offers a refined style and modern touches, while the LTZ brings premium details including leather and advanced camera systems. If you’re aiming for top-tier comfort, the High Country delivers luxury finishes, premium materials, and premium capability. For off-road adventurers, the ZR2 stands out with its lifted suspension, durable chassis components, and trail-ready tuning often paired with the shorter 5.8-ft bed to improve maneuverability in rugged terrain.

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with four powerful engine options to fit every driver’s needs, from work to towing to long-haul efficiency. At the base, the 2.7L TurboMax 4-cylinder offers a balance of fuel efficiency and capability, ideal for the WT and Custom trims handling everyday work or light towing. For more muscle, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, making it perfect for LT and LTZ models that need extra strength for hauling or heavier payloads. Drivers who want top-tier V8 performance can opt for the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, producing around 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, suited for premium trims or drivers who tow large trailers. Finally, the 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I6 provides best-in-class low-end torque and efficient towing for long hauls or high-demand jobs, pairing diesel efficiency with serious capability. Each engine comes with a smooth automatic transmission calibrated for towing, payload, and daily drivability, so whether you’re hauling work gear, towing a trailer, or taking on long drives, there’s a Silverado 1500 engine designed for your needs.
