Chevrolet Unveils 2027 Silverado With 2 Returning V-8s and Standard 10-Speed

3 articles · Updated · MotorTrend · Jun 16

Summary

  • Two new Gen VI small-block V-8s — a 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter — replace the 2026 Silverado’s 5.3- and 6.2-liter engines in Chevrolet’s 2027 redesign.
  • No hybrid or plug-in version is planned for now, leaving the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel and 2.7-liter Turbomax four-cylinder as the lineup’s fuel-economy options.
  • A 10-speed automatic now becomes standard across the range, and the diesel is available on the Work Truck trim for the first time to target fleet buyers.
  • A 12.2-inch digital cluster and 16.3-inch infotainment screen are standard on every trim, while High Country and ZR2 add an 11.5-inch passenger display.
  • Seven variants return for 2027, with LT replaced by a consumer-base 'Silverado,' as GM leans on richer tech and higher-end trims to strengthen its best-selling pickup.
