Buyers of Chevy’s new 2026 Silverado 1500 pickup truck will get to choose from nine different trims, four engines and three cabs, among a multitude of other options.
The Silverado is set for a redesign for the 2027 model year, so the 2026 pickup is the last of the current design.
Customers can choose from these trims: WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country and ZR2. (Chevy also offers the 2026 Silverado EV.)
Pricing starts at $36,900 for the base WT model and up to $71,700 starting MSRP for the ZR2, excluding destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment.
Updates for 2026 include a standard Technology Package and Multi-Flex Tailgate for the ZR2 trim, six special edition appearance packages, and new colors White Sands and Polar White Tricoat.
