Buyers will pay more for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: the base Work Truck now starts at $41,395, a $1,700 increase from last year, and the top ZR2 trim reaches $79,995. Chevrolet says the new generation brings updated styling, a wider technology package, and fresh engine choices, but those gains come with higher sticker prices across the lineup.
The Story in Pictures
The model ladder has been reshaped and repriced. The Custom begins at $46,395. Chevrolet dropped the LT name and now calls that midrange trim simply Silverado, which starts at $50,695. The Custom Trail Boss opens at $57,195, followed by the Trail Boss at $63,995. A larger jump in standard equipment and cost arrives at the High Country, which starts at $74,495 and ships with GM’s new 5.7‑liter V‑8 as standard.
The ZR2, Chevrolet’s range topper for now, is priced from $79,995 and comes standard with GM’s 3.0‑liter Duramax diesel, although many buyers are expected to opt instead for the new 6.6‑liter V‑8. Chevrolet did not include pricing for the ZR2 Bison in its announcement, but the company has shown images of an updated Bison, indicating it will appear later in the cycle.
Trucks are central to Chevrolet’s business: an executive confirmed the brand’s truck sales represent around 40 percent of its volume. That makes pricing strategy and trim sequencing significant for revenue and margins. Chevrolet expects to begin sales at the end of the year and will likely roll out the higher‑priced, higher‑margin trims first before ramping production of the more affordable models.
The 2027 Silverado ushers a key nameplate into a new generation by adding powertrain and technology choices while nudging buyers toward higher price points. Expect Chevrolet to emphasise richer trims and new engine options in early deliveries, with broader availability of the lower‑priced trucks following the initial launch period.
