The 2027 Silverado price starts at $41,395 for the Work Truck, including a $2,795 destination charge, and climbs to $79,995 for the ZR2. As for the 2027 Silverado release date, the redesigned half-ton is already in production in Mexico, and GM says U.S. dealers get their first trucks late in the fourth quarter of 2026, with more plants joining in 2027.
2027 Silverado price by trim
Chevrolet released prices for the next-generation Silverado 1500 in mid-September. The Work Truck's base MSRP is $38,600 before destination. The table lists each trim's starting price with the $2,795 destination charge included, next to the 2026 figures autoevolution used for comparison.
| 2027 Silverado 1500 trim | 2026 price | 2027 price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Truck | $39,695 | $41,395 | +$1,700 |
| Custom | $45,195 | $46,395 | +$1,200 |
| Silverado (LT / Z71) | — | $50,695 | — |
| Custom Trail Boss | $55,695 | $57,195 | +$1,500 |
| Trail Boss | $62,495 | $63,995 | +$1,500 |
| High Country | $65,795 | $74,495 | +$8,700 |
| ZR2 | $74,595 | $79,995 | +$5,400 |
These are starting prices. The Work Truck figure is a regular cab with two-wheel drive and the TurboMax four-cylinder; options, cab and bed choices, four-wheel drive and bigger engines all add to it. The High Country comparison is against last year's two-wheel-drive High Country.
The Silverado trim is really two trims
The old LT is gone in name, replaced by a midgrade called simply "Silverado." In Chevrolet's configurator, though, the name depends on the drivetrain: a two-wheel-drive Silverado is listed as the LT, and checking four-wheel drive turns it into the Z71, which now includes the off-road suspension, skid plates and hill descent control. The 2027 LT no longer offers four-wheel drive.
The LT requires at least a double cab, which is why it starts at $50,695. A Z71 double cab with the standard bed starts at $54,295 in the configurator.
Why the High Country and ZR2 cost so much more
The two most expensive trims take the biggest jumps, and both come with more standard equipment than before. The High Country now has the up-level suspension, 22-inch wheels (up from 20), a panoramic sunroof, 12-way power front seats, Bose audio and Super Cruise as standard. The ZR2 adds Multimatic DSSV dampers with new jounce-control dampers, a 34-gallon fuel tank, 35-inch mud-terrain tires, underbody cameras with washers, massaging seats, an 11.5-inch passenger screen, a Baja drive mode and Super Cruise.
At the bottom of the range, the Work Truck and Custom move from an eight-speed to a 10-speed automatic and get a 12,000-pound hitch and an integrated trailer brake controller. Every 2027 Silverado has a 12.2-inch digital gauge cluster, a 16.3-inch center screen, LED lighting, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and front and rear park assist.

2027 Silverado release date
Here is the launch timeline GM gave investors on its third-quarter earnings call on Oct. 20, 2026:
| Plant | 2027 Silverado 1500 production |
|---|---|
| Silao, Mexico | Underway, building up to full output gradually |
| Fort Wayne, Indiana | January 2027, after a December shutdown |
| Orion Township, Michigan | Second quarter of 2027 |
GM says U.S. dealers will receive 2027 trucks in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2026, so the first Silverados should reach showrooms around the end of the year. Because Silao starts slowly and the other plants come later, supply may be limited during the first half of the model year. The GMC Sierra 1500 follows the same rollout.
Shopping an older Silverado instead
