2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

With 9 trims available, the Silverado 1500 covers everything from basic jobsite duty to premium towing comfort. WT keeps things simple and functional, pairing the TurboMax™ engine with Chevy Safety Assist and the class-leading Durabed for dependable daily work. It’s a trim built to take abuse and keep going. Custom Trail Boss brings factory-installed off-road hardware straight from Chevrolet, including a 2-inch suspension lift, Z71 Off-Road Package, skid plates, and aggressive tires. It’s a solid option for drivers who spend time off pavement or deal with snow, mud, and uneven terrain throughout the year. LT steps things up with a more refined interior and added tech, highlighted by a 13.4-inch center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital Driver Information Center. For buyers looking for comfort without giving up capability, it’s a strong middle ground. At the top end, High Country adds premium leather seating, open-pore wood trim, and available Super Cruise® with trailering, offering luxury-level comfort without losing towing confidence. ZR2 sits in a category of its own, designed for drivers who want serious off-road performance. Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, heavy-duty skid plates, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires give it legitimate trail credibility. The Multi-Flex Tailgate and available 15-inch head-up display keep it functional as well as capable.

The TurboMax™ engine delivers 310 hp and 430 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering strong low-end pull for everyday driving and towing duties. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 brings classic V8 performance with 355 hp and 383 lbs.-ft. of torque, while the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 increases output to 420 hp and 460 lbs.-ft. of torque for drivers who want quicker acceleration and added muscle. For maximum torque and efficiency, the Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel stands out. Producing 305 hp and 495 lbs.-ft. of torque, it supports trailering up to 13,300 lbs. and delivers a best-in-class 28 MPG highway rating. Payload capability reaches up to 2,260 lbs., giving the Silverado real flexibility for hauling and towing.

The Silverado 1500 is built around control and confidence. Properly equipped models tow up to 13,300 lbs., supported by advanced trailering systems and an available Trailering App that helps manage setup and monitoring. Available Super Cruise® with trailering allows hands-free driving on compatible highways, even while towing—an industry-first feature that makes long drives across Minnesota noticeably less tiring.

Inside, the Silverado balances toughness with comfort. Crew Cab models offer generous space for 5 adults, and storage solutions are designed with real-world use in mind. The Durabed provides 89.1 cu. ft. of best-in-class standard cargo volume, along with 12 fixed tie-downs rated at 500 lbs. each. The available Multi-Flex Tailgate adds six configurations, including a full-width step and integrated work surface, making loading and jobsite tasks easier.

Every Silverado 1500 includes Chevy Safety Assist, along with standard features such as a rear vision camera, StabiliTrak® electronic stability control, Buckle to Drive, Teen Driver technology, tire pressure monitoring, and rear seat reminder. Available systems expand protection with 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 technology—supporting confident driving on highways, job sites, and snow-covered roads alike.
