What's New for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

What Trims and Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

For 2026, there are eight trim levels, starting with the Work Truck and capping off at the High Country. The LT remains the value leader.

Engine choice defines output: the 3.0-liter diesel makes 277 hp, and the 6.2-liter V-8 offers 420 hp. The V-8 is the better option for regular off-road use or heavy towing.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking and cross-traffic alert. The High Country adds Super Cruise for hands-free driving, even while towing. Trailer camera systems and towing assistance features help simplify your hauling tasks.
