The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV packs impressive power: its Dual Motor 4WD system delivers up to 760 horsepower and up to 775 pound-feet of torque, enabling 0-to-60 acceleration in under 4.5 seconds when equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode. This dual-motor setup provides nearly instantaneous torque to all four wheels, enhancing traction in changing conditions.

For hauling, the Silverado EV supports up to 12,500 pounds of towing capacity-enough for trailers, boats, and weekend gear. Available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension further refines the ride and handling. Available four-wheel steer reduces your turning radius in tight spaces, and the Trail Boss trim adds standard four-wheel steer with Sidewinder diagonal steering for confident off-road maneuvering.
