Four engines power the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, each backed by a standard 10-speed automatic. Horsepower climbs from 305 in the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel to 350 in the enhanced 2.7L TurboMax, 402 in the all-new 5.7L V8 and 481 in the 6.6L V8, which also leads on torque at 501 lb-ft.

Pulling a boat to the ramp? The truck's top rating allows up to 13,700 lbs of trailer when properly equipped, on a 2WD Double Cab Silverado (LT/Z71) with the Standard Bed, an available 5.7L V8 and Chevrolet's Max Trailering Package. Ratings are meant for comparison, and passengers, cargo and options may reduce what a given truck can tow.

• Enhanced TurboMax adds 40 hp and 25 lb-ft for 2027
• 2,340-lb maximum payload: properly equipped 2WD Regular Cab Standard Bed TurboMax
• Seven available drive modes, with Baja exclusive to ZR2
• 10-speed automatic with paddle shifters and tow/haul mode
• Trailer hitch and integrated brake controller on every trim

Screens set the tone inside the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, where every trim carries a 16.3-inch center display and 12.2-inch Driver Information Center. Google built-in compatibility brings navigation and Natural Voice Recognition (select service plan required). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly with a compatible phone and active data plan, and OnStar Basics comes standard for 8 years (cell reception and GPS signal required).

Ramp days get help too. New trailering tech includes boat ramp assist, which coaches you step by step as the boat slides into the water, and a Trailer Brake Gain Assistant that Chevrolet calls an industry first. ZR2 and Trail Boss reach 19 available views from up to 11 cameras; some views need an accessory camera.

Over 15 driver assistance and safety features are standard equipment for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. From 5 to 50 mph, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking stands ready, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking can intervene above 2 mph. Chevrolet stresses that driver aids never replace the driver's responsibility to operate the truck safely.

On compatible roads, Super Cruise handles steering, acceleration and braking hands-free. It is standard on High Country and ZR2, where it includes a 3-year plan, and available on the Silverado (LT/Z71) Crew Cab and Trail Boss. When it recognizes a trailer, it lengthens the following gap, though lane-change functions are unavailable while trailering.

• Automatic high beams (IntelliBeam) above 25 mph
• Reverse Automatic Braking for detected objects behind the truck
• Side Bicyclist Alert can warn before you open a door
• Front and Rear Park Assist across the lineup
