What are the 2026 Silverado 1500 Changes and Pricing?
Chevy didn’t overhaul the Silverado for 2026—instead, it refined a few details. The Realtree Special Edition has transitioned into a dealer-installed Realtree Appearance Package, giving buyers more flexibility and access across more configurations.
Color choices also shift a bit this year. Chevy discontinued Iridescent Pearl Tricoat and Slate Gray Metallic, replacing them with two new shades in White Sands and Polar White Tricoat.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down across trims:
- Work Truck: $38,145
- Custom: $43,645
- LT: $49,145
- RST: $52,545
- Custom Trail Boss: $54,045
- LTZ: $60,595
- LT Trail Boss: $60,845
- High Country: $65,495
You have a wide range of power and efficiency options in the Silverado 155. They include:
- 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder generating 310 horsepower
- 5.3-liter V8 delivering 355 horsepower
- 6.2-liter V8 cranking out 420 horsepower
- 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six producing 277 horsepower
Maximum towing stays strong at 13,300 pounds, and fuel efficiency results are similar to 2025—up to 26 mpg on the highway with the diesel and rear-wheel drive, and about 15 mpg for 6.2-liter four-wheel-drive models running off-road tires.
Silverado Trims: the Right Balance Between Utility and Luxury
The Silverado’s interior depends largely on which trim you choose. The Work Truck keeps things simple with vinyl upholstery and manual controls (ideal for jobsite durability). Step up to the LT and you’ll notice a big shift in tone: a clean dash layout, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a wide center touchscreen make the cabin feel more refined.
At the top of the range, the High Country leans into comfort, adding leather upholstery, open-pore wood accents, and an overall upscale feel that wouldn’t be out of place in a luxury SUV. Rear legroom in crew cab models is generous, though the back seat cushions could use a touch more padding for long trips.
Every Silverado 1500 now comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a built-in mobile hotspot. Chevy’s decision to keep physical buttons and knobs for core controls is a welcome one—they’re easy to find, even with gloves on.
From the LT trim on up, you’ll get a larger 13.4-inch touchscreen that includes Google Voice Assistant, wireless smartphone integration, and available Amazon Alexa support.
