Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

TurboMax™ and Available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel

Power options define the 2026 Silverado 1500. The standard TurboMax™ engine brings best-in-class standard torque at 430 lb.-ft., giving you confident low-end power for merging, hauling, and towing. For traditional V8 response, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 and 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 deliver strong horsepower and smooth shifts via a 10-speed automatic transmission. If you prefer diesel torque and long-range confidence, the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel pairs 495 lb.-ft. of torque with refined manners and an available towing capability of up to 13,300 lbs. across properly equipped configurations. Across the portfolio, Silverado 1500’s powertrains are engineered with smart fuel management technologies and robust transmissions to deliver strength you can depend on day after day.

Durabed and Multi-Flex Tailgate

When it’s time to get to work, Silverado 1500’s Durabed is a difference-maker. It uses roll-formed high-strength steel and offers more standard cargo volume than any competitor, plus 12 standard tie-downs rated up to 500 lbs. per corner to secure gear with confidence. Available 120-volt outlets, available power-up/-down tailgate, and integrated bed lighting make late-night drops and early-morning setups simpler. Add the available Multi-Flex Tailgate and you unlock six functional configurations, including a full-width step that supports up to 375 lbs., inner gate load stops for second-tier items, and a built-in work surface for laptop sessions or project planning. Whether you’re hauling tools, landscaping equipment, or weekend gear, Durabed maximizes space, strength, and ease of use.

Chevy Safety Assist and Camera Technologies

Every 2026 Silverado 1500 includes Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features that includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. For added visibility, Silverado 1500 offers up to 14 available camera views to help you see around your truck and trailer when maneuvering or backing up. Available technologies like HD Surround Vision and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert provide visual cues to help you navigate traffic, tight work sites, and crowded parking lots with more awareness. It’s a thoughtful integration of standard and available features designed to build confidence on every drive.

Super Cruise® with Trailering

Available on High Country, Super Cruise® connected by OnStar® brings hands-free driver assistance technology to compatible roads — even while towing. The system can manage speed and steering within its operating conditions to help reduce fatigue on long drives, and Silverado 1500 uniquely offers Super Cruise with trailering capability. That means when you are returning from a weekend trip or running a long interstate stretch to a new job, you can enjoy modern driver assistance designed around real truck use cases. Combine this with Adaptive Cruise Control, available lane change functionality, and Silverado 1500’s robust camera suite, and you have a full-size pickup that sets a new bar for smart, long-distance capability.

13.4-inch Touch-Screen and a Connected Cabin

Inside, Silverado 1500’s cabin is designed to be both practical and tech-forward. Available 13.4-inch diagonal touch-screen infotainment anchors the dash with crisp graphics and quick responses, complemented by an available 12.3-inch diagonal reconfigurable Driver Information Center and available 15-inch Head-Up Display that projects key info onto the windshield. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come ready to connect, while available Google built-in brings Google Assistant, Google Maps, and select apps into the native interface so you can navigate, message, and manage tasks with your voice. With an available Wi-Fi® hotspot, multiple USB ports, and organized storage solutions, Silverado 1500’s cabin keeps your crew productive during the day and your family comfortable after hours.
