2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Model Review - Albuquerque, NM

What's New for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Little has changed for the 2026 Silverado. The one big update is changing the Realtree Special Edition to the Realtree Appearance Package. You'll also spot expanded Realtree styling across trims, and two new paint options-pearl and slate gray-join the existing colors.

What Trims and Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

This year, there are eight trims, beginning with the Work Truck and ending with the High Country. The LT continues to be the best-value trim. If you seek more than the bare minimum at a lower cost, the Custom is ideal. The RST features sport-inspired details, while the Custom Trail Boss offers off-road components at a modest premium. The LT Trail Boss amplifies off-road readiness, and the LTZ delivers a plush cabin packed with convenience features.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Your horsepower depends on whether you choose the standard 3.0-liter diesel, which yields 277 hp, or the 6.2-liter V-8, which produces 420 hp. If heavy towing or off-road driving is on your agenda, the V-8 is well worth considering.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Standard safety features include emergency braking and cross-traffic monitoring. The High Country trim adds Super Cruise for hands-free driving, even when hauling a trailer. Trailer cameras and additional towing aids give you extra confidence behind the wheel.
