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 unveiled the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500, calling it the “most powerful Silverado ever” and marking one of the biggest updates in years.
The truck is expected to go on sale by the end of the year, with prices to be announced later, according to the company.
“Silverado has earned the trust of truck customers over decades of hard work in the real world,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet, in a statement. “With the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500, we’re taking that legacy forward by creating the most capable, refined and advanced Silverado lineup we’ve ever offered.”

The 2027 Silverado will offer four powertrain options, including new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines. Chevrolet said the truck will have the most powerful V8 engine in its class.
The lineup will include an updated 2.7-liter TurboMax engine mated to a 10-speed manual, and a Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel.
“From tough towing conditions to the everyday demands our customers put on their trucks, these next-generation V8s are designed and proven to perform well in the real world,” said Mark Dickens, chief engineer at Chevrolet, in a statement.
The 2027 Silverado will come in seven models, including Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Silverado, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country.

The ZR2 will be the off-road version, while the High Country will be the top luxury trim.
Inside, every 2027 Silverado will come with a new digital cockpit, including a standard 16.3-inch display and a 12.2-inch driver information screen.
Chevrolet said the Silverado will offer Super Cruise driver assistance technology with trailering capabilities, allowing hands-free driving while towing on parallel roads.
The truck also received a new exterior design, including a stiffer front fascia, new LED headlights and taillights and improved wheel arches.
