Chevrolet Prices the 2027 Silverado 1500 From $41,395, Makes Super Cruise Standard on Two Trims

The refreshed truck adds a longer standard-features list across every grade, while hands-free Super Cruise — previously a costly option or unavailable entirely — comes included on the High Country and ZR2.

Key takeaway: Chevrolet's 2027 Silverado 1500 starts at $41,395 with destination, and for the first time includes Super Cruise hands-free driving as standard equipment on the High Country and ZR2 trims.

Chevrolet announced full pricing for the 2027 Silverado 1500 in mid-September 2026, confirming a lineup that runs from a $41,395 Work Truck, including a $2,795 destination charge, up to a $79,995 ZR2 off-road model. The refreshed truck is scheduled to start arriving at dealerships later this year, and every trim picks up a longer list of standard equipment than the outgoing 2026 model offered.

That standard list now includes a 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 16.3-inch infotainment display running a new interface, LED headlamps and taillamps, adaptive cruise control, an enhanced automatic emergency braking system, front and rear park assist, Chevrolet's Safety Alert Seat, and OnStar One connectivity — on every Silverado 1500 built, not just the higher trims. Features that used to separate a base work truck from a loaded one keep migrating down the lineup as rivals standardize similar kit, and this update pushes a meaningful chunk of what used to be optional safety and convenience equipment onto the standard sheet.

The bigger change for buyers who actually cross-shop the top trims is Super Cruise. GM's hands-free highway driving system is now standard on the High Country and ZR2 — on the High Country, that was previously a $4,990 option, and on the ZR2, it wasn't offered at any price. A buyer who wanted hands-free driving on an off-road-focused ZR2 simply couldn't get it before; now it comes with the truck.

Under the hood, the 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder — Chevrolet's TurboMax engine — has been reworked and is now paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous 8-speed. GM also introduced sixth-generation V8 options, with dual fuel-injection systems and continuously variable oil pumps. In practice, that combination of port-and-direct injection and a variable-output oil pump is aimed at squeezing better real-world fuel economy and cleaner cold starts out of a V8 without giving up the towing and power character buyers choose a V8 for in the first place — not just a spec-sheet upgrade.

A few changes are specific to individual trims. The Custom grade gains dual exhaust and steps up to 34-inch off-road tires, two inches larger than before, while the Work Truck now comes standard with a 12,000-pound-rated hitch and an integrated trailer brake controller — equipment a contractor or trailer owner would otherwise have needed to add as a separate option.

None of this comes free: the Custom trim alone rises $1,200 over its 2026 equivalent, and pricing is up across the board versus last year's truck. The real question for a buyer cross-shopping the 2026 and 2027 model years is whether the newly standardized safety and tech equipment is worth more than what the equivalent options would have cost piecemeal on the outgoing truck — for most trims, it appears to be closer to a wash than a clear win either way.
