What's new on the 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500?
Nearly everything. Chevrolet calls the 2027 model the most powerful and advanced Silverado ever, with new exterior styling, a redesigned interior, new technology, and two all-new V8 engines.
The new 5.7L and 6.6L V8s replace the previous 5.3L and 6.2L. The 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder gains 40 horsepower and 25 lb-ft of torque, and the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel returns. All four engines use a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, every trim gets a 16.3-inch center touchscreen and a 12.2-inch digital Driver Information Center. High Country and ZR2 add an 11.5-inch front passenger screen, and a panoramic sunroof is standard on High Country and available on ZR2, Trail Boss, and Silverado trims.
Trim names changed: the lineup is now seven trims, and the former LT is simply called Silverado (Z71 package standard on 4WD models).
2027 Silverado 1500 engines, towing, and payload
The 5.7L V8 is the towing champion, while the 6.6L V8 is built for maximum power.
Towing is how much weight the truck can pull on a trailer. Payload is how much weight it can carry in the cab and bed, including passengers. Both maximums require specific cab, bed, drivetrain, and package combinations, so your truck's exact ratings will be on its door-jamb label and window sticker.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing | Max Payload | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7L TurboMax | 350 hp | 455 lb-ft | 9,400 lbs | 2,340 lbs | Highest payload and work-truck value |
| 5.7L V8 (new) | 402 hp | 428 lb-ft | 13,700 lbs | 2,170 lbs | Heavy trailers: boats, campers, livestock |
| 6.6L V8 (new) | 481 hp | 501 lb-ft | 9,700 lbs | 1,510 lbs | Maximum acceleration and V8 performance |
| 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel | 305 hp | 495 lb-ft | 12,000 lbs | 1,870 lbs | Long highway drives and frequent towing |
Source: Chevrolet 2027 Silverado 1500 published ratings. Maximum ratings apply to properly equipped trucks; the weight of passengers, cargo, and options reduces what you can tow and carry. Every 2027 Silverado 1500 is rated to tow at least 7,200 lbs.
Loading the bed for work?
The 2.7L TurboMax has the highest payload rating at 2,340 lbs, plus best-in-class standard torque according to Chevrolet.
Commuting to Tyler or Dallas?
The Duramax diesel pairs 495 lb-ft of torque with a 12,000-lb tow rating, and it is the only diesel offered in the half-ton class.
