So much so that one executive recently confirmed to Car and Driver that its truck sales account for around 40 percent of the brand's business. Naturally, the new 2027 Silverado 1500 ushers one of the most important nameplates in the business into a new generation, and Chevy has finally revealed how much it will cost.ChevroletOf course, the added benefits of the new generation come with a price hike. The base price of the Work Truck trim has increased by $1700 compared with last year, moving up to $41,395. Moving beyond the entry trim and up to the Custom grade nets you larger wheels and tires, a bit more technology, and a starting price of $46,395.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor some reason, someone at Chevy approved ditching the popular LT trim name and now simply calling it Silverado. So, the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Silverado starts at $50,695. At least it'll be hard to forget what truck you're driving if you opt for that trim. The Silverado is followed by the Custom Trail Boss at $57,195; the higher-spec Trail Boss starts at $63,995.ChevroletMoving beyond the Trail Boss results in a significant jump in price, though it comes with a slew of added features as well. The High Country starts at $74,495 and comes with GM's new 5.7-liter V-8 as its standard powerplant. The top-of-the-line ZR2 starts at $79,995 and comes with GM's 3.0-liter Duramax diesel as standard fare, though many buyers will likely upgrade to GM's new 6.6-liter V-8.The ZR2 Bison is noticeably absent from Chevy's pricing announcement, though Chevy has shown images of an updated version, so we know it's on the way. Chevy says the new trucks are expected to go on sale at the end of the year. It will likely start with the more expensive trucks, which obviously have a higher profit margin, before ramping up sales of the more affordable trims.➡️ Skip the lot.
