The 2026 Silverado 1500 is engineered for serious work. It delivers up to 13,300 lbs maximum available trailering and up to 2,260 lbs maximum available payload when properly equipped. The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel is your best choice for maximum towing, pairing that impressive capacity with best-in-class highway fuel economy.

Every Silverado 1500 includes a Durabed with 89.1 cubic feet of standard cargo volume, 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs each, and available Multi-Flex Tailgate that transforms into steps and work surfaces. For trailering setup and monitoring, available in-vehicle Trailering App tech with custom profiles makes every haul smarter. Ready to explore the right configuration?
