2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Release Date

2026 Chevrolet Silverado Release Date

Regardless of the kind of application you have in mind, the full-size 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 will be ready to deliver. Engine choices will include a turbocharged four-cylinder, a turbo-diesel six, and two gas V-8s. In addition, Chevy will offer a variety of cab and box configuration choices. The trim lineup includes the basics all the way up to the top-tier High Country. The 2026 Chevy Silverado is expected to be released in the fall of 2025 and that's when it should be available in our new inventory at A. Crivelli Chevrolet in Franklin, PA.

What's new for 2026?

The 2026 edition of the Silverado 1500 gets only a small number of changes for the upcoming model year. The previous Realtree Special Edition is now the dealer-installed Realtree Appearance Package, and availability of the hunting brand tie-in will expand to more configurations. Changes to the color palette include replacing Iridescent Pearl Tricoat and Slate Gray Metallic to make way for White Sands and Polar White Tricoat.

Engines and performance options

The range of engines includes a turbocharged four-cylinder, a pair of V-8s, along with a Duramax® diesel 3.0-liter inline-six. The 6.2-liter V-8 is good for 420 horsepower while the 5.3-liter has an output of 355 horsepower. The turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder generates 310 horsepower, and the diesel develops 277 horsepower. Every version of the Silverado comes with handling that'ss surprisingly agile, and the brake pedal gives you firm and reassuring feedback.

If you want a more rugged full-size Silverado 1500, you'll appreciate the Trail Boss models. They operate with a 2.0-inch lift, gnarly tires, and other upgrades that make the off-road path easier and more enjoyable. The ZR2 is the most serious off-roader of all. When it's equipped with the larger 6.2-liter V8 engine, the Silverado High Country model can reach 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, and the 355-horsepower 5.2-liter can hit the same milestone in 6.1 seconds. The maximum towing capacity is 13,300 pounds and the maximum payload is 2280 pounds.

Interior and exterior highlights

The Chevy Silverado is designed to be configured in a variety of ways. Lower level trims provide the essentials like manually adjustable front seats, manual windows and vinyl seats. Starting at the LT trim level, the cabin is elevated by a more attractive dashboard design that includes a large center touch screen.

The interior of the High Country is especially appealing with open-pore wood trim and genuine leather upholstery. You'll also find helpful storage cubbies spread around the cabin and it's available with a multifunction tailgate called the Multi-Flex. Chevy's menu of bed lengths makes this truck more adaptable to your needs. You can get approved for a loan in advance by submitting our totally secure online financing application .
