The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 gives you four powertrain choices to match your needs. The standard TurboMax engine delivers 310 horsepower and best-in-class 430 lb-ft of standard torque with an 8-speed automatic. If you want classic V8 muscle, choose the available 5.3L or 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engines with 10-speed automatics. For long-haul efficiency and towing confidence, the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel offers up to 495 lb-ft of torque and best-in-class 28 MPG highway.

Each option pairs durability with the capability you need-whether that's daily work, weekend adventures, or serious hauling. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to discuss which engine fits your tasks, or browse the current Silverado 1500 inventory to find your match.
