Chevrolet has taken the wraps off the fifth-generation Silverado, the full-size pickup that anchors its US lineup. Sales begin in America by the end of 2026, with pricing to be announced closer to launch. The range reshuffles the trim walk: the old LT grade is dropped, with its name handed to a mid-range trim simply called Silverado. Seven versions are offered in total - Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, Silverado, ZR2, and High Country.
Engines. The carryover units are a 3.0-litre Duramax turbodiesel V6 with 309 hp and a 2.7-litre TurboMax turbo-four with 314 hp, paired with a 10-speed automatic. Above them sit two new V8s, 5.7 and 6.6 litres, replacing the previous EcoTec3 5.3 and 6.2-litre engines, which made 360 and 426 hp. Chevrolet has not yet released outputs for the new V8s.
Inside. Every trim gets a 12.2-inch instrument cluster and a 16.3-inch central touchscreen. The ZR2 and High Country add an 11.5-inch passenger display and a digital rearview mirror. Outside, the truck gets new LED headlights, redesigned tail lights, a new grille, and squared-off wheel-arch cladding.
The bookends. The ZR2 is the off-road flagship, riding on 35-inch tires with front and rear locking differentials, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and carbon-fibre-look trim. The High Country plays the luxury role, with 22-inch wheels, a panoramic roof, and open-pore wood interior trim.
