2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: What’s New, Trims, Specs & More
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 introduces all-new 5.7L and 6.6L V8 engines, making it the most powerful Silverado ever built. The 6.6L V8 carries the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in the half-ton class, a claim no prior Silverado could make. This page covers every trim, powertrain, and major change, with current inventory available at Fillback Chevrolet.
What’s New for 2027
The next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500 is a ground-up redesign, not a refresh. The biggest headline is two brand-new V8 engines: a 5.7L small-block and a 6.6L small-block, both assembled at GM facilities in Flint, MI and Tonawanda, NY. The 6.6L is confirmed as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the half-ton segment.
Beyond the powertrains, the exterior is fully redesigned with a bolder front fascia, pronounced wheel openings, standard LED headlights and taillights across every trim, and standard dual exhaust on Custom and above. Three new exterior colors join the palette: Apex Red, Pacific Blue Metallic, and Trillium Green Metallic.
Inside, a 16.3-inch center infotainment touchscreen and a 12.2-inch digital driver information center are now standard on every single trim, including the Work Truck. ZR2 and High Country add a class-leading 11.5-inch front passenger screen, a heads-up display, and a rear camera mirror, putting over 60 inches of combined display area in the cabin.
The panoramic sunroof arrives on Silverado for the first time ever. It is standard on High Country and available on ZR2, Trail Boss, and the Silverado trim. Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance with segment-exclusive hands-free trailering now reaches more trims than before, with standard fitment on High Country and ZR2 and availability on Silverado and Trail Boss.
New safety systems standard across the lineup include Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking. The trim formerly known as LT is now named Silverado, and the lineup expands to seven trims total.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Silverado 1500 offers seven trims, each with a distinct purpose.
Work Truck (WT)
Work Truck anchors the lineup for commercial and fleet operators. It receives the new digital cockpit and enhanced safety suite while keeping a clean, upfit-ready interior designed for large fleets. The 16.3-inch touchscreen and 12.2-inch driver information center are standard even here.
Custom
Custom steps up with 20-inch Technical Gray machine-faced wheels and standard dual exhaust, giving it a more finished appearance than its predecessor. It remains the value entry point for personal-use buyers.
Custom Trail Boss
Custom Trail Boss adds a 2-inch factory lift and 34-inch MT tires, giving buyers an accessible entry into off-road capability with a dedicated off-road hood and Trail Boss visual identity.
Silverado
Silverado, formerly LT, is a meaningful upgrade. Buyers who choose the 4WD configuration receive the Z71 package as standard equipment, which includes off-road suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control. The panoramic sunroof and Super Cruise are available on this trim.
Trail Boss
Trail Boss matches the Custom Trail Boss lift and tire package but adds a unique two-theme interior with Torch Red-edged seatbelts and custom seat perforation, plus the available panoramic sunroof. Super Cruise is available here as well.
ZR2
ZR2 is the off-road flagship. It rides on Multimatic DSSV dampers with jounce dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, 35-inch MT tires, and a 2-inch factory lift. The interior features Torch Red accents, Torch Red-edged seatbelts, and real forged carbon-fiber trim on the doors and console.
The available ZR2 Bison Edition adds AEV front and rear bumpers, rocker protection, 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and comprehensive underbody skid plates.
High Country
High Country sits at the top of the lineup. Standard equipment includes the 22-inch After Midnight machine-faced wheels, Tritan Satin grille, real wood interior décor, Natural Tan-edged seatbelts, the 11.5-inch passenger screen, heads-up display, rear camera mirror, and the panoramic sunroof. Super Cruise is also standard on High Country.
Performance & Powertrain
Four powertrains are available, all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
2.7L TurboMax I4
The 2.7L TurboMax I4 is enhanced for 2027 and delivers best-in-class standard torque among half-ton gasoline and diesel pickups. It suits buyers who want fuel economy without sacrificing everyday towing confidence.
5.7L V8
The 5.7L V8 is an all-new next-generation small-block, engineered from the ground up and assembled in the United States. It builds on more than 70 years of Chevrolet V8 development.
6.6L V8
The 6.6L V8 is also entirely new and holds the title of most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the half-ton segment. Both V8s are designed for demanding towing, commercial work, and daily driving without compromise.
3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6
The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6 returns as the segment-exclusive diesel option. It remains the choice for buyers who prioritize sustained torque output and fuel efficiency on long hauls.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Silverado interior is redesigned with an edge-to-edge digital display layout. The 16.3-inch center screen and 12.2-inch driver information center span the dash in a cohesive, modern arrangement. Even Work Truck buyers get this setup.
The Multi-Flex center console offers 25 liters of storage and folds flat into a sturdy, ergonomic workspace, a practical feature for buyers who use their truck as a mobile office. Dual wireless charging is available across the lineup. The Multi-Flex tailgate with CornerStep bumper returns for 2027, maintaining one of Silverado’s most practical cargo-access features.
Interior themes vary by trim. High Country buyers choose between a light Enoki theme or a dark Jet Black setup, with available microfiber suede and real wood accents. ZR2 runs a Jet Black / Dark Galvanized theme with Torch Red seatbelt edging and forged carbon trim. Trail Boss offers Jet Black and a Jet Black / Gideon combination. OnStar Basics is standard for eight years across the lineup.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2027 Silverado ships with the 16.3-inch center touchscreen and 12.2-inch digital driver information center as standard. That makes Silverado’s entry-level tech superior to many competitors’ mid-tier offerings.
ZR2 and High Country add the 11.5-inch front passenger screen, which is not visible to the driver, paired with a heads-up display and rear camera mirror. The combined display total exceeds 60 inches on those two trims.
Super Cruise with hands-free trailering is available on more of the lineup than ever before. It is standard on High Country and ZR2, and available on Silverado and Trail Boss. No other half-ton pickup offers a hands-free driving system that also covers trailering. Super Cruise requires an active plan after the initial three-year period.
Dual wireless charging supports two devices simultaneously when available. Built-in voice assistance, real-time navigation, and in-vehicle app access come through the OnStar Basics package, which is included for eight years.
Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Silverado introduces four safety systems that are new to the lineup and standard across all trims: Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking.
Returning standard features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Rear Pedestrian Alert, HD Rear Vision Camera, Front and Rear Park Assist, Safety Alert Seat, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. This full suite is standard even on the Work Truck, which is notable for fleet operators managing driver safety across large vehicle pools.
Who It’s For Compared to the Prior Silverado
Buyers who held off on the outgoing Silverado because they wanted a V8 with more output now have two new V8 options, including the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the segment. Buyers who wanted a truck with modern interior tech but did not want to pay for upper trims get the 16.3-inch touchscreen standard at the Work Truck level.
The three lifted trims, ZR2, Trail Boss, and Custom Trail Boss, give off-road buyers more entry points than the prior generation. The panoramic sunroof, a Silverado first, adds an option that premium truck buyers previously had to find in a competitor’s vehicle. Customers in Boscobel and across the Fillback footprint who relied on the outgoing LT trim now shop the Silverado trim, which adds the standard Z71 package with 4WD, a meaningful capability upgrade at no extra trim cost.
The 2027 model is expected to go on sale late 2026. Preproduction models are shown throughout Chevrolet’s official materials, and final production details may vary.
