Engines and Powertrain

Four engines are available. The lineup includes a 2.7L TurboMax I4, a 5.7L next-gen small-block V8, a 6.6L next-gen small-block V8 (the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the full-size truck segment), and a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6.

What transmission does the 2027 Silverado 1500 use?
A 10-speed automatic transmission is standard across all four engine options. There is no manual transmission offered on the 2027 Silverado 1500.
Is the 2027 Silverado 1500 available with a diesel engine?
Yes. The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I6 is available on the 2027 Silverado 1500. If diesel efficiency is a priority for your work in and around Jackson, MN, the Duramax option is worth comparing against the gasoline V8 choices.
What makes the 6.6L V8 different from the 5.7L V8?
Both are next-generation small-block V8s, but the 6.6L is the larger displacement option and is rated as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the full-size half-ton truck class. The 5.7L delivers capable performance for buyers who do not need the top output tier.
Trims and What Each One Offers
What trims are available on the 2027 Silverado 1500?
Seven trims are offered: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Silverado (the trim formerly called LT), Trail Boss, ZR2, and High Country. Each step up the lineup adds content, and the off-road-oriented trims (Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, and ZR2) are purpose-built for buyers who go beyond pavement.

What does the ZR2 trim add over a standard Silverado 1500?
The ZR2 gets Multimatic DSSV dampers with jounce dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, 35-inch MT tires, and a 2-inch factory lift. It also introduces forged carbon-fiber trim on the doors and console, which is both the first use of forged carbon on a ZR2 and GM's first application of forged carbon anywhere in its lineup. The ZR2 and High Country also come with an 11.5-inch front passenger screen, a heads-up display, and a rear camera mirror as standard.
What is the ZR2 Bison Edition?
The ZR2 Bison Edition adds AEV front and rear bumpers, rocker protection, 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and comprehensive underbody skid plates on top of the ZR2 base equipment. It is the most trail-capable Silverado 1500 configuration available.
What does the Trail Boss offer compared to the base Custom Trail Boss?
Both Trail Boss configurations include a 2-inch factory lift, 34-inch MT tires, and a dedicated off-road hood. The Trail Boss sits higher in the trim order than the Custom Trail Boss and adds more content, while the Custom Trail Boss provides off-road capability at a lower entry point.
What does the High Country trim include?
High Country is the flagship trim. It comes standard with a panoramic sunroof (the first ever offered on a Silverado), 22-inch After Midnight machine-faced wheels, a Tritan Satin grille, real wood décor, and available microfiber suede interior. Natural Tan-edged seatbelts and the 11.5-inch front passenger screen with heads-up display and rear camera mirror are also standard.
Does the Silverado trim (formerly LT) come with off-road gear?
Yes. The Silverado trim with 4WD includes the Z71 package as standard, which adds off-road suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control.
Technology and Infotainment
Does every 2027 Silverado 1500 trim have a large touchscreen?
Yes. The 16.3-inch center infotainment touchscreen is standard on every trim, including the base Work Truck. The 12.2-inch digital driver information center is also standard across the full lineup.
Does the 2027 Silverado 1500 support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported on the 2027 Silverado 1500.
What is Super Cruise, and is it available on the 2027 Silverado 1500?
Super Cruise is Chevrolet's hands-free driver-assistance system. On the 2027 Silverado 1500 it is available across more of the trim lineup than in prior model years, and it includes a segment-exclusive hands-free trailering capability. That means the truck can assist with steering, speed, and lane centering while towing, a feature no other half-ton offers in this configuration.

Is a panoramic sunroof available on the 2027 Silverado 1500?
Yes, and it is new for this generation. The panoramic sunroof is standard on High Country and available on the ZR2, Trail Boss, and Silverado trims. This is the first time Chevrolet has offered a panoramic sunroof on a Silverado.
