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."

Meanwhile, my 2008 Ford Ranger will still be running after this Silverado breaks down

I own a 2007 Tundra. You wanna play "Can you top this?"

From the article: “Inside, every 2027 Silverado will come with a new digital cockpit, including a standard 16.3-inch center display and a 12.2-inch driver information screen.”

That’s a deal-killer to me.

I had the same experiences with a couple of Audis. Non-stop warning codes for everything under the sun. Too aggravating and needlessly expensive. I said bye bye to all of that.

They should forget about the technology and focus on getting the engines and transmissions to get past 100K miles before grenading.

UAW management gives to the Demon party. The rank and file are better Republicans that you.

If that were true, they’d have ceased supporting the abomination that is the UAW. They’ve had decades to change it and reform the leadership.

Buy a Toyota built in the US by non-UAW workers. It is a better car anyway.

That surprises me. Toyota was smart enough not to go all in on the EV idiocy

I was hoping you were wrong, but the reports I saw seem to say you are right . And just what everyone has been asking for - you can't use your cell phone while driving, but driving will REQUIRE you to use a computer while driving:

“but driving will REQUIRE you to use a computer while driving:”

Looks like there are all the normal controls. Why do you have to use the computer while driving?

If they were, they wouldn’t keep voting for that management.

AFM or DFM, this feature guarantees engine failure sometimes as early as 40-50K miles. Expensive gimmick that allows the fleet to meet CAFE standards.
