2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado is a next-generation truck with new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V-8s, a standard 16.3-inch screen and a redesigned High Country. Chevrolet had not published towing or payload ratings at launch; the 2026 truck tows up to about 13,300 pounds. NHTSA has no recalls or complaints yet.
What changed on the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado
DAX Street (opens in a new tab) says Chevrolet is introducing a next-generation Silverado with an all-new exterior, a redesigned interior, new V-8 engines, updated technology and expanded driver-assistance features, far more than a typical mid-cycle refresh, and that the 16.3-inch center screen and 12.2-inch driver display are standard across the lineup. GM Authority (opens in a new tab) lists new engines, updated technology, improved off-road capability and a more upscale cabin, with a new sunroof standard on High Country and possibly available on other trims.
Chevrolet (opens in a new tab) says there are four engines to choose from including all-new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V-8s, and describes a redesigned High Country with standard premium suspension with semi-active damping control and available massaging front seats. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) gives the power: a 402-horsepower 5.7-liter as the new mainstream V-8, up from the 5.3-liter's 355 horsepower, and a 481-horsepower 6.6-liter replacing the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter.
Recalls, reliability and what is not yet known
NHTSA has no recall campaigns and no owner complaints on file for the 2027 Silverado, which is expected for a model that has only just gone on sale, and Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) has no survey history to rate a redesign yet. GM's V-8s have drawn scrutiny from owners over lifter and valvetrain failures in earlier years, so the new engines' record is the thing to watch; a new-generation truck's first model year is also the one with the least track record.
Off-Road.com (opens in a new tab) says Chevrolet has not published towing or payload figures for the 2027 truck and that the current Silverado 1500 is rated up to roughly 13,300 pounds of towing in its highest configuration, so the redesign should land in competitive territory once numbers arrive. Until they do, a buyer who needs a confirmed tow rating cannot compare it with the published figures of rivals.
What it costs
Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) bases its price estimates on the most affordable cab-and-bed combination offered in 2026, because final 2027 pricing had not been released when it wrote the page. For reference, Drive Hyundai Hill Country (opens in a new tab) puts the 2026 Ram 1500's starting price at $42,400 and the 2026 F-150's at $39,330. EPA rates the 2026 Silverado at 15 to 70 mpg combined, the top figure being the electric Silverado, and the 2026 Ram 1500 at 12 to 22 and the F-150 at 12 to 24.
2027 Silverado against the Ram 1500 and F-150
Off-Road.com lists the F-150 at up to 13,500 pounds of towing and 2,440 pounds of payload and the Ram 1500 at 11,610 and 2,370, so the new Silverado has a published number to beat. Drive Hyundai Hill Country notes the Ram leads on factory output with its High-Output Hurricane inline-six and the F-150 has the widest engine menu, and that the Silverado brings the freshest V-8 architecture. Pick the Silverado if you want the newest hardware and can wait for towing ratings; the F-150 if you need a confirmed maximum tow number today.

Record summary
What to know first
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is an all-new, next-generation full-size pickup revealed in June 2026 ahead of a late-2026 launch. It offers seven trims, Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Silverado, Trail Boss, High Country and ZR2, and four engines: the 2.7-liter TurboMax four-cylinder, the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six, and next-generation 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter small-block V8s, each paired with a 10-speed automatic. Output runs from 305 horsepower for the Duramax diesel to 481 horsepower for the 6.6-liter V8, and starting prices run from $41,395 for the Work Truck to $79,995 for the ZR2, both including destination.
This is a full redesign, not a carryover: treat every 2015–2026 Silverado 1500 specification, trim structure and engine assumption as non-transferable to the 2027 truck. Chevrolet expects deliveries to begin late in 2026.
