The venerable Chevrolet Silverado has lagged behind its full-sized pickup truck competitors for some time now; its final replace occurred almost 10 years in the past in 2018, so this redesign is lengthy overdue. Chevy has launched very surface-level details about the brand new technology of the second-best-selling car within the United States, so this story will not get into the nitty gritty, however it’ll provide you with a good suggestion of what is cooking within the bowtie model’s newest truck.

The Silverado continues to supply 4 powertrain choices, together with the usual turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that is now paired with a 10-speed computerized transmission, up from the present 8-speed.

Hopefully the engineers discovered from the errors made with the present 6.2-liter V8 that is the topic of a category motion lawsuit in opposition to the corporate, and that was concerned in a virtually 600,000-unit recall final 12 months. Production of the gargantuan Silverado EV is indefinitely paused starting in 2027, as we discovered final month, however there are allegedly some hybridized powertrains within the works for this new Silverado which will break cowl quickly. There are some trim degree adjustments, too, however annoyingly pricing and on-sale date will not be out there till later this 12 months.

Design-wise, the redesigned 2027 Silverado would not look radically totally different from the present truck, however I believe it seems properly modernized and sharpened — and it positively seems just like the design leaked in patent filings late final 12 months. There are some cool particulars, just like the aspect marker lights within the entrance bumper and the boxier fender flares. It seems just like the aspect window glass is new, as are the pillars and fenders, so it would not appear to be the brand new truck shares any physique panels or components with the previous one. The least expensive Work Truck has LED headlights, and plenty of trims have quad exhaust. 

The inside obtained a way more noticeable glow-up. Even the bottom Work Truck has a linked 12.2-inch gauge cluster and 16.3-inch middle display, that are more likely to be welcomed over the present truck’s antiquated tech suite. Silverado ZR2 and High Country trims even get an 11.5-inch passenger display, a primary for the nameplate, that is paired with a head-up show and a digital rearview mirror so you may screenmaxx on the go. But don’t fret, there are nonetheless plenty of bodily knobs and switches and buttons, together with for the local weather management.

Options embody twin wi-fi charging and a reconfigurable Multi-Flex middle console that is awfully much like the one which’s been within the Ford F-150 for a number of years now. And after all it has Super Cruise hands-free driving, which Chevy factors out is the one Level 2 hands-free system that works whereas towing.

Specifics in regards to the Work Truck trim are minimal, however Chevy says it’ll provide “new digital displays, enhanced safety and driver assistance technology and core connectivity features….” At least the large display is normal!
