DETROIT, June 22 (Our Michigan Times) — Chevrolet on June 16 introduced the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500, calling it the “most powerful Silverado ever” and saying the full-size pickup will go on sale later this year with new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines.
The company said the 2027 Silverado 1500 will keep four powertrain choices. Along with the two new V8s, Chevrolet said buyers will still be able to choose the enhanced 2.7-liter TurboMax and the Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel.
Chevrolet also said the truck now offers the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in its class, although it did not include horsepower, torque or fuel-economy figures in the release.
Inside, Chevrolet said every 2027 Silverado 1500 will come with a digital cockpit that includes a 16.3-inch center display and a 12.2-inch driver information center. ZR2 and High Country trims add an 11.5-inch front passenger screen, plus a head-up display and rear camera mirror.
The company said the lineup will include seven models: ZR2, High Country, Trail Boss, Silverado, Custom Trail Boss, Custom and WT. Pricing will be announced later this year.
Chevrolet’s announcement did not give a firm on-sale date, and the company did not say where the truck will be built.
