2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST

Estimated Price: $53,895* (Crew Cab Short Bed 2WD)

Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup that covers every need across nine trim levels — from the work-ready WT and sporty RST to the off-road-focused Trail Boss and ZR2, all the way to the premium High Country — with four powertrain choices to match: the 2.7L TurboMax I4 (310 hp, 430 lb-ft), 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 (355 hp), 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 (420 hp), and the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel (305 hp, 495 lb-ft, best-in-class 28 MPG highway) delivering up to 13,300 lbs of towing capacity. Every Silverado comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Google Built-In, automatic emergency braking, and the versatile Multi-Flex Tailgate, while the LT and above step up to a 13.4-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Higher trims add premium leather, ventilated front seats, and open-pore wood trim, while the Trail Boss brings a factory 2-inch lift and skid plates, and the ZR2 tops the off-road lineup with Multimatic DSSV dampers, 33-inch mud-terrain tires, and front and rear electronic locking differentials.
