The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pairs full-size capability with a powertrain lineup deep enough to match almost any job or commute. Whether you’re hauling across the metroplex or running daily errands around Dallas, Galleria Chevrolet has the trim and engine combination to fit how you drive.
Chevrolet offers four engines on the 2026 Silverado 1500. The standard 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque — which Chevrolet markets as best-in-class standard torque — paired with an eight-speed automatic, and serves as the base engine across most of the lineup. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 comes standard on the LTZ and High Country, while the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 steps up to 420 horsepower for shoppers who want maximum gas performance. For efficiency and torque, the class-exclusive 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel returns up to an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined — the most efficient non-hybrid in the full-size segment. The V8 and diesel engines use a 10-speed automatic, and every engine is offered in rear-wheel drive (standard) or available four-wheel drive.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Properly equipped with the available Max Trailering Package and the 3.0L Duramax, the Silverado 1500 tows up to 13,300 pounds (the 6.2L V8 is rated up to 13,200 pounds). The package adds an automatic locking rear differential, enhanced cooling, and trailering-tuned hardware to keep the truck composed under a heavy load. Advanced trailering technology — including up to 14 available camera views — makes hitching and backing far easier for drivers in Farmers Branch, Carrollton, and across North Dallas.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
The Silverado 1500 spans nine trims, from the work-ready Work Truck to the off-road ZR2 and the luxury-focused High Country. Higher trims like the LT add a 13.4-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital driver display, while the LTZ layers in leather-appointed, heated and ventilated front seats and a Bose premium audio system.
