The truck will offer 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8s and is expected to go on sale at the end of the year
Chevrolet is giving its Silverado pickup a major update with new V8 engines, a redesigned exterior and more technology inside the cabin.
The automaker on Tuesday introduced the next-generation 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, calling it the "most powerful Silverado ever" and marking one of the pickup’s biggest updates in years.
The truck is expected to go on sale at the end of the year, with pricing to be announced later, according to the company.
"Silverado has earned truck customers’ trust over decades of hard work in the real world," Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet, said in a statement. "With the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500, we’re taking that legacy forward by building the most capable, refined and advanced Silverado lineup we’ve ever offered."

What’s these 0W-20 etc oils ,LOL oil or water ?
Thankfully CAFE penalty abolition took care of that 0W-20 fraud. Chevrolet says if you buy those 3rd generation and later Small Blocks, use 0W-40 oil in the aftermarket applications. Now for real trucks they want the same 0W-40. I own a 3.6L Traverse and use that too.
With all of the illegal alien invaders living here and “makin the big bucks” off of government fraud now, they should go for the upside of 100K.
Ya, my last GM truck was terrible! I used it for my farm and discovered the transmission just wasn’t up to the task. The first failure was after pulling an empty trailer to pick up a tedder. We’re not talking heavy work here. The second was the transfer case that blew up. In both cases the truck had less than 75k miles on it. GM declined to help out in either case. I told their help line I was done with them. They didn’t seem to care….
Also as an auto mechanic when the dealership took trades they went thru a presale inspection. Almost 100% of the time a 2+ year old American car was mechanically unfit. The jap and some Euro brands were much much better mechanically and cosmetically…by a long shot! Things really haven’t gotten better since the 70s.
In a car you turn it on and go and keep it between the lines, turn left, turn right, the seat is padded, it is air-conditioned, and it has a radio, the overhead light is nice, hope the visor blocks the sun when you flip it down, headlight dimmer on the turn indicator handle was a nice improvement, vent windows are really useful, knowing the oil pressure, radiator temp and gas tank level is useful for a machine, price the basic model of car at about $12,000 and make the common man happy, then have your escalating scale of luxury, short term trendy electronics and useless but expensive bells and whistles, and planned obsolescence for the rest of the market.
There’s a diesel 1992 Toyota hilux down the road from me that I would take a flyer on but it has spent time in Malaysia and the UAE. Who knows what lurks beneath the undercoating.
It looks like a Toyota Tundra.
It’s still made by the UAW, so it’s a “no go” for me, even if I needed a truck
Yeah.. Like BK says...
They need that larger engine to run the larger alternator to power all the spy crap they are building into them
I think you have a strong point!
06 lbz, early production, 600k before I let a buddy turn it into a toy. Regular maintenance and the only thing that left it down for more than an hour or two was the shift fork pads in the t case at 500k.
Love my 2025 Acura RDX and my 2018 Suburban!
“These new vehicles, all mfrs, with all digital display touch screens, are failing and people get left stranded or can’t see their speed or anything........”
Yep. Saw hundreds on the side of the road yesterday going to the supermarket.
My daughter drives a Raptor......
Some random thoughts on why I won’t be buying one ...
a) AFM or DFM ... pass
b) base price over $60,000 ...pass
c) radio and climate controls embedded in the ipad ... pass
d) turbo assist on the engine ... pass
e) fluid changes must be done at dealer ... pass
f) no oil/transmission dip-sticks in the engine bay ... pass
Feel free to add to this list.
My 2020 Silverado has never been in the shop. I have driven the crap out of it. I have no complaints and would buy another one in a heartbeat.
But the story was they were going to transition the entire platform to 4 cylinder, with the heavy duty model being a V-6. I was going to test drive a Tundra to make sure I got a full-power pickup.
I’m glad to hear the 4 cylinder plans are going in the trash heap.
Ranger Raptor or F-150 Raptor?...............
Like!
Expect your location and everything you say and do in the truck, including heart rate and eye movements, will be recorded and transmitted in realtime to GM to be sold for profit.
