The New 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2026 Chevy Silverado offers drivers four engine options. The first is the TurboMax, with 310 horsepower, and best-in-class 430 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is equipped with Active Fuel Management along with automatic start/stop and an 8-speed transmission. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 offers 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque and features the dynamic fuel management system with automatic start/stop technology and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Drivers can also seek out the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, available on several of the 4x4 trims, which provides 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque with dynamical fuel management and a 10-speed transmission. For those who want diesel, this year’s Silverado 1500 features a Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine on several trims (including as the standard on the ZR2). It offers excellent highway fuel economy at 28 mpg while still offering 305 horsepower and a massive 495 lb.-ft. of torque. It has an automatic start stop and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Each of these engines offers a smooth drive, reliable power and performance, and a balance of strength and efficiency.

If your Chevy Silverado is your go to work truck, you can appreciate just how advanced this year’s model is. If you select the Silverado Double Cab Standard Bed 2WD with the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine, and then couple that with both the Max Trailering Package and 20-inch wheels, you get a massive 13,300 pounds of towing performance. This pickup also provides 2,260 pounds of maximum payload. Depending on trim, you can also invest in some time off-roading with key features such as an off-road-ready suspension system, 2-inch factory-installed lift, and Multimatic DSSV dampers.

For those buying the Chevy Silverado for its towing capability, note the trailering features, including the available Trailering app. It provides you with 8 cameras that offer 14 views to make setting up for the road easy. The trailering app keeps you informed along the trip with the in-vehicle display.

The Silverado 1500 boasts a comfortable, supportive interior design with trim-specific features and styling. This is a very tech-infused vehicle, with everything you need to drive with confidence within easy reach. It’s also spacious, available in Regular, Double, and Crew Cab configurations. That gives you seating for 3 to 6 passengers. Leg room on the crew cab is 44.5 inches up front and 43.4 inches in the back.

Interior features range from a 40/20/40 split-bench front seat with under-seat storage to rear rubberized vinyl floor mats. A Bose premium audio system with upgraded options is available.

The Silverado interior features keep you comfortable with easy-to-clean seats and supportive cushions.

Numerous trim-specific exterior features make the Chevy Silverado an impressive investment.

This model offers Durabed for a long-lasting cargo space with 12 tie-downs. You also have Chevy Safety Assist. This is a solid, performing pickup designed to handle most conditions.

Serious off-roaders will appreciate the full technology and off-road package on the ZR2. That includes the factory suspension life, Multimatc DSSV dampers, and front and rear E-Lockers. It also offers a cut front bumper and a large underbody aluminum skid plate design to enhance protection on big adventures.
