2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Model Review - Lincoln, NE

What's New for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Not much has shifted for the 2026 lineup. The most significant update is the transition of the Realtree Special Edition to the Realtree Appearance Package. You'll also spot additional co-branding elements across several trims. Plus, you can select from pearl or slate gray alongside the other existing exterior hues.

What Trims and Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

For 2026, there are eight trims, starting with the Work Truck and culminating in the High Country. Among them, the LT strikes the best balance of features and price. The Custom works well for budget-minded buyers who still want more than just the basics. If you want sport styling, the RST delivers, while the Custom Trail Boss adds off-road upgrades at a reasonable cost. The LT Trail Boss jumps in with even greater ruggedness, and the LTZ offers a premium mix of comfort and convenience.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Engine choice drives output. The standard 3.0-liter diesel makes up to 277 hp, whereas the 6.2-liter V-8 cranks out as much as 420 hp. The V-8's extra punch might be worth the upgrade if you're planning frequent off-road outings.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Every Silverado includes essentials like automatic emergency braking and rear cross-traffic alert. You'll find Super Cruise on High Country models, which allows hands-free driving-even when towing. Additional trailer cameras and towing aids also come standard, giving you peace of mind at the wheel.
