Chevrolet Silverado 2026

FROM $134,500

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado range of configurations is currently priced from $134,500.

Our most recent review of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado resulted in a score of 8.3 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: With its unique V8 soundtrack, all-terrain capabilities and sumptuous comfort, the ZR2 is a quintessential American muscle truck that's as capable of carting crews and accessing rugged worksites during the week as it is towing boats, horse-floats and caravans or getting muddy on weekends. For either work or play, there's a lot to like here.

Chevrolet Silverado 2026 FAQs

Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 good for towing?

You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.

As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.
