2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine Options

The Silverado is known for its powerful engines, and the 2026 models offer four engine options to meet your needs:

• 2.7L TurboMax (I-4): Delivers 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and well-suited for everyday driving and light towing.
• 5.3L EcoTec3 V8: Produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, offering a strong balance of power and efficiency with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
• 6.2L EcoTec3 V8: Generates 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful gas engine in the lineup, paired with a 10-speed automatic for confident performance.
• 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel (I-6): Provides 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque, ideal for towing and fuel efficiency, and matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Exceptional towing capabilities are another hallmark of the Chevy Silverado. The 3.0-liter I-6 Turbo-Diesel engine delivers 13,300 pounds of towing capacity, the most of any of the Silverado engines. Additional trailering technology and eight available cameras make towing even easier.

If you're more likely to be found off-roading, the Silverado truck is full of off-road capabilities to make hitting any trail a piece of cake. Available selectable drive modes, four-wheel drive, and available Automatic Locking Rear Differential on certain models (ZR2, Trail Boss) allow for optimal performance on any terrain. Plus, for 2026, an available Sport exhaust calibration for the 6.2L V8 adds a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note, giving the Silverado a bolder presence both on and off the road.
