2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

With 9 trims available, the Silverado 1500 spans from hard-working utility to high-end refinement. WT is engineered for durability, pairing the TurboMax engine with Chevy Safety Assist and the class-leading Durabed, making it a natural fit for contractors and fleet use. Custom Trail Boss adds factory off-road confidence, featuring a 2" suspension lift, Z71 Off-Road Package, skid plates, and aggressive 33" mud-terrain tires that feel right at home on dirt roads or muddy job sites. The LT trim transitions the Silverado into a more refined daily driver, highlighted by a wide 13.4" touchscreen, a 12.3" digital gauge display, and available HD Surround Vision. At the top of the comfort scale, High Country introduces premium leather seating, real open-pore wood accents, and available Super Cruise with trailering, blending upscale materials with serious towing capability. For drivers who push beyond pavement, ZR2 stands alone. Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, reinforced skid plates, and 33" mud-terrain tires define its mission. A 15" head-up display and Multi-Flex Tailgate ensure the ZR2 remains just as functional as it is formidable.

The Silverado’s strength lies in its diverse engine lineup. The TurboMax powerplant delivers 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard across most trims. The 5.3 L EcoTec3 V8 produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.2 L EcoTec3 V8 raises output to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque for those seeking stronger acceleration and confident passing power. The Duramax 3.0 L Turbo-Diesel remains the torque leader, generating 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque, offering a best-in-class 29 MPG highway rating and trailering capability of up to 13,300 lbs. Maximum payload reaches 2,260 lbs., reinforcing the Silverado’s reputation as a true workhorse.

Performance is defined by control and composure. Properly equipped Silverado models tow up to 13,300 lbs., supported by intelligent trailering systems designed to reduce stress behind the wheel. Available Super Cruise with trailering allows hands-free driving on compatible highways even while towing an industry-exclusive feature that transforms long hauls across South Carolina into relaxed, confident drives.

Inside, the Silverado balances strength with comfort. Crew Cab models provide generous room for 5 passengers, while smart storage solutions keep tools and gear within easy reach. The Durabed offers 89.1 cu. ft. of best-in-class standard cargo volume, secured by 12 fixed tie-downs rated at 500 lbs. each. The available Multi-Flex Tailgate adds 6 configurations, including a full-width step and integrated work surface, making loading, unloading, and on-site tasks more efficient.

Technology plays a central role in the Silverado experience. Available Google built-in integration brings navigation, voice control, and apps directly into the 13.4" touchscreen, while wireless Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto© come standard. OnStar connected services support diagnostics and assistance, and trailering tech includes up to 14 available camera views, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and adaptive cruise control tuned for towing stability.

Every Silverado 1500 includes Chevy Safety Assist, complemented by standard systems such as a rear vision camera, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, Buckle to Drive, Teen Driver technology, tire pressure monitoring, and rear seat reminder. Available advanced features include enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic braking, HD surround vision, rear pedestrian alert, front and rear park assist, and trailer-specific safety technologies providing confidence on highways, worksites, and rural roads alike.
