The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has arrived with a bold new design inside and out, and a pair of fresh V8 engines. When it goes on sale, the truck will have a simplified lineup of seven trims with four different engine options. The 2027 Silverado will offer these four engines: the 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines join the turbocharged 2.7-liter TurboMax inline-four and the 3.0-liter Duramax V6.
The automaker claims the truck will have "the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine," which shouldn’t be difficult—the Hemi-powered Ram 1500 makes 395 horsepower, while Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 in the F-150 produces 400 hp. While the Silverado’s new 6.6-liter V8 is different from the 6.7-liter engine in the Corvette, the slightly larger motor delivers 535 hp, and we would imagine the Silverado’s engine could be closer to that than its rivals, but those are details Chevy isn’t willing to share just yet.
View Price on AmazonThe 2027 Silverado has a new, yet familiar exterior, with new LED headlights and taillights, a new front fascia, and more pronounced wheel openings and rocker treatments. Inside, every new Silverado comes standard with a 12.2-inch driver display, a 16.3-inch infotainment screen, and a column shifter. Buyers seeking off-road capability can choose from these four Silverado trims: the Custom Trail Boss, the Trail Boss, the ZR2, and the ZR2 Bison.
The Custom Trail Boss is Chevy’s entry point into its rugged truck lineup. It comes with a 2.0-inch suspension lift and 34-inch tires. The Trail Boss builds off the Custom by adding 34-inch tires, unique exterior styling, Torch Red-trimmed seatbelts, and fabric seat inserts with a custom perforation pattern. At the top of Chevy’s off-road lineup is the ZR2, which pairs the 2.0-inch suspension lift with 35-inch tires, standard front and rear E-lockers, and Multimatic DSSV dampers.
Inside, it has Torch Red accents, the Trail Boss’s seatbelts, and forged carbon-fiber trim, General Motors’ first use of the material. The ZR2 Bison also returns, designed in collaboration with AEV. It features distinct bumpers, rocker protection, 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and skid plates. Chevy says the Silverado High Country will be at the top of the lineup for 2027. It will have 22-inch wheels, an updated badge design with darker elements, and a new Tritan Satin grille.
