What’s New for 2027

A Full Next-Generation Silverado Redesign

The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a complete light-duty redesign with new exterior styling, an edge-to-edge digital cockpit, expanded driver-assistance technology, three lifted trims and a reworked four-engine lineup.

The biggest mechanical news is under the hood. The previous 5.3L and 6.2L V8s give way to new sixth-generation 5.7L and 6.6L Small Block V8s. They join an enhanced 2.7L TurboMax and the returning 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. Every announced 2027 light-duty powertrain is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, giving Silverado buyers four distinct combinations of horsepower, torque, towing and payload capability.

Technology advances across the lineup with a standard 16.3-inch center display and 12.2-inch Driver Information Center. ZR2 and High Country add an 11.5-inch passenger display, while Super Cruise with trailering reaches more trims. Granger Chevrolet will update this page as ordering, pricing and local availability are announced.

Four Engine Options

All-New 5.7L and 6.6L V8 Engines

For 2027, Silverado 1500 buyers can choose among four powertrains. The Enhanced TurboMax receives a substantial output increase, the 3.0L Duramax remains the diesel option, and two new Gen-6 Small Block V8s bring back the 350- and 400-cubic-inch displacements in modern form. Rather than treating one engine as the universal answer, the lineup is designed around different combinations of output, trailering, payload and driving range.

The new V8 architecture uses a longer piston stroke, higher compression, larger throttle diameters and tuned intake runners. It also adds combined direct/port fuel injection and a new lubrication system with a variable oil pump and on-engine oil cooler. GM expects more than 1.5 million real-world validation miles by launch.
