2027 Chevy Silverado Redesign: What’s New for Lewisville Drivers

Chevy's full-size truck is getting its biggest overhaul in years, and the 2027 Silverado is already generating plenty of questions from our regulars here in North Texas. A Denton County contractor needs a truck that can handle a job site, while a Flower Mound family needs one that can haul a boat to Lake Lewisville. This redesign serves both.

Chevrolet has now published engine outputs, towing figures, trim pricing, and equipment, so below we'll break down what the new Silverado actually delivers and how to time your next truck purchase around it. If you'd rather see what's currently available, explore our new inventory at Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville.

2027 Silverado Redesign: Timing and What to Expect

Chevrolet revealed the next-generation Silverado on June 16, 2026, and it is expected to arrive late this year. The redesign covers exterior styling, the interior, the technology suite, and the powertrain lineup, with two new V8s joining a restructured seven-trim range. Chevrolet calls it the most capable, refined, and advanced Silverado lineup the brand has offered, and with 481 horsepower available and a best-in-class 13,700-lb towing rating, the specs back that up.

For buyers weighing whether to wait, a few practical factors matter. This is a significant redesign, and if you've been holding off for updated tech and safety features, there's a real case for waiting until these land. On the other hand, 2026 Silverado models remain available now with no order lead time, while a 2027 order placed once banks open will likely take weeks to months to arrive on our lot, depending on configuration and production ramp-up.

Confirmed Release Window and Order Details

Here's where things stand. The redesign lands in late 2026, and Chevrolet has now published starting prices for all seven trims, ranging from $38,600 for the Work Truck to $77,200 for the ZR2. What's still open is the exact on-sale date and the timing of order banks. For anyone trying to time a purchase, call us, and we'll tell you what we know about allocation for our store, not what's circulating online.

2027 Silverado vs 2026: Engine and Powertrain Changes

The biggest mechanical change is the replacement of the 2026 model's 5.3L and 6.2L V8s with two new engines: a 5.7L V8 and a 6.6L V8. Both are next-generation Small Blocks, built at GM's Flint Engine Operations, Tonawanda Propulsion, and St. Catharines Propulsion plants, and they build on the same performance legacy as the Corvette's new LS6 6.7L V8.

The 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder returns in enhanced form, now paired with the 10-speed automatic in place of the 8-speed it used for 2026, and the segment-exclusive 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel carries over. That's four powertrains, all with the 10-speed, which keeps the Silverado one of the most flexible trucks in the class. Chevy and GMC remain the only brands offering a diesel in a light-duty pickup.

Here's what each engine delivers:

• 5.7L V8: 402 hp and 428 lb-ft

• 6.6L V8: 481 hp and 501 lb-ft, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the class

• 2.7L TurboMax: 350 hp and 455 lb-ft, with best-in-class standard torque

• Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel: 305 hp and 495 lb-ft

Max towing lands at 13,700 lbs with the 5.7L V8, which Chevrolet calls best-in-class, and max payload reaches 2,340 lbs with the TurboMax.

New 5.7L V8 Engine

The 5.7L V8 replaces the outgoing 5.3L, producing 402 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. More importantly for anyone towing, this is the engine that delivers the Silverado's best-in-class 13,700-lb maximum towing capacity. If you're pulling a boat to Lake Lewisville or an equipment trailer to a Denton County job site, this is the one to spec.

New 6.6L V8 Engine

The 6.6L V8 steps in as the upper-tier gas engine, replacing the 6.2L and producing 481 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque, which Chevrolet says makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the full-size pickup class. It's a different engine from the Corvette's LS6 6.7L V8, though they share development lineage. It's available on both High Country and ZR2, so it's the choice for buyers who want maximum output rather than maximum trailer weight. Note that the ZR2 comes standard with the Duramax diesel, with the 6.6L as the upgrade.

Cabin, Technology, and Safety Upgrades

Inside, the changes reach across the board rather than just the top of the lineup. Every trim, including the $38,600 Work Truck, gets a standard 16.3-inch center touchscreen paired with a 12.2-inch driver information display. That's a real jump from previous years, when the larger screens were reserved for higher trims.

Redesigned Interior and Available Screens

ZR2 and High Country add a standard 11.5-inch passenger screen along with a head-up display and rear camera mirror, bringing the combined display area past 60 inches, which Chevrolet calls class-leading. The passenger screen supports HDMI input and Bluetooth headphones, so a passenger can watch something without distracting the driver. Dual wireless charging is available, and the new Multi-Flex center console folds flat into a sturdy workspace with nearly 25 liters of storage.

For work crews needing a mobile office between job sites in Lewisville and Carrollton, that's genuinely useful. The infotainment system also brings a new interface with Google built in and Gemini, Google's AI assistant, for hands-free navigation, climate, and vehicle questions.

High Country adds its own distinct touches: real wood interior detailing, quilted seat shoulders, debossed head restraints and center console, an exclusive grille with Tritan Satin accents, and 22-inch After Midnight machine-faced wheels. The panoramic sunroof comes standard here and is available on ZR2, Trail Boss, and the Silverado trim, so you don't have to go all the way to the top of the lineup to get one.

Expanded Driver Assistance and Safety Features

Standard safety technology expands for 2027. Chevrolet's newsroom lists new standard features, including Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking, which join carryover systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert, and Blind Zone Steering Assist.

Super Cruise, Chevrolet's hands-free driving system, comes standard on High Country and ZR2 and includes three years of the OnStar One Plan. The trailer capability is the part worth noting: hands-free driving while towing is a class exclusive, so a long haul down I-35E with a trailer behind you gets considerably less tiring. Every 2027 Silverado also includes standard OnStar Basics for 8 years, covering remote commands, Automatic Crash Response, built-in voice assistance, and real-time navigation.

2027 Silverado Trim Lineup: Seven Ways to Build Your Truck

Chevrolet restructured its 2027 trim lineup, and it's already raising questions among returning customers. The LT is renamed to simply Silverado, and the RST and LTZ are gone. The new seven-trim lineup covers Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Silverado, Trail Boss, High Country, and ZR2, with three of those factory-lifted off-road models nearly double what Chevrolet offered before. If you've been searching for a 2027 Silverado RST, that naming no longer applies.

Here's how the seven trims compare at a glance:

 

These are starting MSRPs and exclude destination freight, taxes, title, and dealer fees, and Chevrolet can adjust pricing before the trucks reach dealers. You can browse new Silverado inventory in Lewisville anytime to see what's currently on our lot while these 2027 trims roll out.

Work Truck, Custom, and Custom Trail Boss

Work Truck remains the value-focused entry point at $38,600, though "basic" undersells it: the 16.3-inch center screen, 12.2-inch driver display, enhanced TurboMax engine, LED lighting, and over 15 standard safety features are all included, with the Duramax diesel available.

Custom, at $43,600, adds 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate, hitch guidance with hitch view, a power driver's seat, and 120-volt interior and bed outlets.

Custom Trail Boss, at $54,400, is the affordable way into a factory-lifted truck, with a 2-inch lift, monotube shocks, 34-inch mud-terrain tires, 18-inch Dark Android wheels, skid plates, a two-speed transfer case, and red recovery hooks.

Silverado, Trail Boss, and High Country

The Silverado trim (formerly LT) sits in the middle of the lineup, balancing comfort and value for daily drivers and commuters running I-35E. Trail Boss leans into off-road capability, while High Country tops the comfort-focused side of the lineup with premium materials, standard semi-active damping suspension, and available massaging front seats.

ZR2 Off-Road Performance Trim

The Silverado 1500 ZR2 sits at the top of the off-road side of the lineup. It gets a distinct cabin treatment, including real forged carbon-fiber trim on the doors and console (Chevrolet's first true carbon décor application on the ZR2 and GM's first use of forged carbon overall), along with Torch Red accents and seat belts.

Off-Road Upgrades on Trail Boss, Custom Trail Boss, and ZR2

The Z71 Off-Road package now comes standard on all 4WD Silverado trim models, bringing upgraded suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control to a mainstream trim rather than reserving them for a package. Trail Boss and Custom Trail Boss both get a 2-inch factory lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires, while ZR2 is exclusive to 35-inch MT tires paired with Multimatic DSSV dampers featuring jounce dampers and front and rear electronic lockers.

For buyers cross-shopping the Silverado 1500 ZR2 against a Z71 setup, the distinction comes down to how far you want to push off-pavement capability versus everyday drivability. The ZR2 Bison Edition is confirmed, built with American Expedition Vehicles, adding front and rear AEV bumpers, rocker protection, 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and skid plates covering the front underbody, transfer case, rear differential, and fuel tank, plus AEV badging and all-weather floor liners.
