2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2026 Silverado 1500 lineup includes versatile trim options designed for different priorities. The WT (Work Truck) serves as a durable base with practical features for job-focused use. The Custom trim adds comfort and convenience upgrades for everyday driving. LT and RST trims bring modern technology and enhanced styling, while off-road-ready trims like Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss offer rugged suspension and capability. Premium trims such as LTZ and High Country deliver upscale interior features and advanced tech, letting drivers choose a Silverado experience that suits both work and lifestyle needs.

The 2026 Silverado 1500 offers multiple powerful engines to match your performance needs. A 2.7L TurboMax™ four-cylinder engine produces around 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission for responsive everyday performance. Available V8 options include the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 with 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 delivering 420 hp and 460 lb-ft for robust hauling and towing capability. A 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I6 engine provides up to 495 lb-ft of torque and best-in-class highway fuel economy when equipped, making it a strong choice for high-load duties and long trips.

Performance is a hallmark of the 2026 Silverado 1500. When properly equipped — especially with the 6.2L V8 or Duramax diesel engine — this truck can achieve a maximum available towing capacity of up to 13,300 pounds, making it capable of handling heavy trailers, boats, or equipment with confidence. Advanced trailering technologies and up to 14 available camera views help make hitching, monitoring, and maneuvering with a trailer easier and more intuitive. The Silverado’s strong payload capacity and optional four-wheel drive provide capability whether tackling rugged terrain or navigating city streets.
