## Summary

Chevrolet’s 2027 Silverado 1500 pairs two new, more powerful V8 engines with a substantially redesigned, screen-heavy cabin. The truck offers stronger towing and hauling, hands-off driving and new towing aids, but its fuel use and unfinished technology may temper its appeal.

Four engines are available, including a 350-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 305-horsepower Duramax diesel; the new 5.7-litre V8 enables a maximum tow rating of 13,700lb. The cabin has a standard 16.3-inch touchscreen and 12.2-inch digital instrument display, with optional passenger and head-up displays. Prices start at $41,395 for the Work Truck and reach $79,995 for the ZR2, including destination charges.
