Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Four-Engine Lineup with TurboMax™, V8 Options, and Diesel Strength

Silverado’s flexible engine lineup gives you the right tool for the job. The standard TurboMax™ delivers a best-in-class 430 lb.-ft. of standard torque and 310 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic. For drivers who want classic V8 response, the 5.3L EcoTec®3 V8 produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque with a 10-speed automatic; the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 steps up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque for confident merging, passing, and heavy weekend toys. The Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel brings 305 horsepower and a muscular 495 lb.-ft. of torque, also with a 10-speed automatic, and offers available towing up to 13,300 pounds. Each engine is supported by smart fuel management technologies, and the powertrains are spread judiciously across trims so you can match output to mission — from the everyday-ready WT and LT to the premium High Country and extreme-capability ZR2.

Up to 14 Available Camera Views and In-Vehicle Trailering App

Trailering confidence comes from visibility and process, and Silverado delivers both. Up to 14 available camera views help with lining up the hitch, monitoring your trailer’s surroundings, and maneuvering in tight spaces — a big benefit when backing into campsites or jobsite cuts. Available HD Surround Vision stitches multiple views for a bird’s-eye perspective, while Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert extends side-mirror alerts down the length of the connected trailer to help you change lanes more confidently. Silverado’s In-Vehicle Trailering App lets you build custom trailer profiles, complete step-by-step pre-departure checklists, and monitor key connections from the cabin. When paired together, these technologies shorten the learning curve for new towers and make seasoned pros more efficient day after day.

Durabed and Available Multi-Flex Tailgate

Silverado backs its good looks with a cargo box that earns its keep. Durabed is roll-formed with high-strength steel and offers best-in-class standard cargo bed volume — up to 89.1 cu. ft. — with 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs. per corner to secure awkward loads confidently. An available 120-volt outlet supports on-site tools or tailgate gear, while the available power up/down tailgate adds convenience when your hands are full. For ultimate versatility, the available Multi-Flex Tailgate provides six clever configurations, including a full-width step capable of supporting up to 375 lbs., inner-gate work surface, and both primary and inner gate load stops. Whether you are loading construction materials, weekend furniture finds, or trail bikes, Silverado’s bed features save steps and add capability you can feel.

Connected Cabin with 13.4-Inch Diagonal Touch-Screen

Inside, Silverado balances durable materials with thoughtful tech. Available features include a 13.4-inch diagonal touch-screen and a 12.3-inch diagonal reconfigurable Driver Information Center for crisp, glanceable data. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility reduce cord clutter, while standard Wi-Fi® hotspot capability helps keep passengers productive or entertained on the go. Google built-in integrates Google Assistant and Google Maps right into the center display for natural voice requests and seamless navigation. For drivers who want a head-up perspective, an available 15-inch Head-Up Display projects key info like speed and navigation onto the windshield. And with available premium touches on trims like LTZ and High Country — including leather-appointed seating and authentic open-pore wood trim — this is a cabin that wears daily life well.

Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driving with Trailering

For long-haul confidence, High Country offers available Super Cruise® connected by OnStar®. On compatible roads, this hands-free driver assistance technology manages speed and steering — even while towing — helping reduce fatigue on extended trips across familiar routes. Super Cruise uses a sophisticated network of sensors, driver attention monitoring, and detailed map data; the result is a system that feels natural to use while keeping you engaged. Silverado also offers advanced driver aids like Adaptive Cruise Control and available HD Surround Vision, and every truck includes Chevy Safety Assist with features such as Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Following Distance Indicator. Together, these technologies support safer, more relaxed travel without getting in the way of your day.
