The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck with 2WD and the TurboMax 2.7L starts at $41,395, including $2,795 destination — per pricing GM Authority published on September 18, 2026 that attributes the figures to Chevrolet. That is $1,700 above the comparable 2026 Work Truck start. Production begins in October at Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Silao, Mexico.
This is the U.S. Silverado 1500 MSRP story (prices include destination). It is not Silverado EV, not RHO, and not a Sierra U.S. price sheet — no Sierra stickers or Canadian CAD figures here. For the engine hp/torque/tow table that landed yesterday, see TruckDaily’s 2027 Silverado / Sierra powertrain specs.
2027 Silverado 1500 starting prices (MSRP + $2,795 DFC)
| Trim | Drive / engine noted | 2027 MSRP + DFC | vs 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Truck | 2WD + TurboMax 2.7L L4B | $41,395 | +$1,700 |
| Custom | 2WD + TurboMax | $46,395 | +$1,200 |
| Silverado (replaces LT) | 2WD + TurboMax | $50,695 | Same as 2026 base LT |
| Custom Trail Boss | 4WD + TurboMax | $57,195 | +$1,500 |
| Trail Boss | TurboMax | $63,995 | +$1,500 vs 2026 LT Trail Boss |
| High Country | 2WD + 5.7L V8 L76 | $74,495 | +$8,700 (2026 HC 2WD was $65,795) |
| ZR2 | Duramax 3.0L LZ0 | $79,995 | +$5,400 |
All figures above are U.S. starting prices including $2,795 destination freight charge, as attributed to Chevrolet by GM Authority (Sep 18, 2026). Options, packages, and dealer markup are extra.
What the trim walk means
- Work Truck / Custom: Entry gas trucks stay on 2WD TurboMax at the sticker bookends above. The WT jump is the biggest dollar move among the volume gas trims (+$1,700).
- Silverado trim (ex-LT): Chevrolet renames the former LT rung simply Silverado. The 2WD TurboMax start at $50,695 matches the 2026 base LT start — flat year over year on that comparison.
- Custom Trail Boss / Trail Boss: Off-road-leaning gas trucks climb $1,500 vs their 2026 counterparts on the GM Authority rundown.
- High Country: The biggest sticker shock — $74,495 for 2WD with the new 5.7L V8 L76, up $8,700 from the 2026 High Country 2WD start of $65,795.
- ZR2: Starts at $79,995 with the Duramax 3.0L LZ0, up $5,400.
Super Cruise now standard on High Country and ZR2
Per the same Chevrolet-attributed pricing update, Super Cruise is now standard on High Country and ZR2. On 2026 High Country it was a cited $4,990 option; it was not offered on 2026 ZR2. Shoppers pricing a loaded 2027 HC or ZR2 should fold that standard content into the year-over-year math instead of treating the sticker delta as pure inflation.
TruckDaily take
Who the price walk favors. Volume shoppers who can live on Work Truck, Custom, or the renamed Silverado trim — the Silverado/LT comparison is flat at $50,695, and the WT/Custom bumps are smaller than the High Country leap. Off-road buyers on Custom Trail Boss / Trail Boss take a moderate $1,500 hit vs 2026.
Who should wait for incentives. High Country and ZR2 shoppers face the steepest published starts ($74,495 / $79,995). Super Cruise going standard softens the HC/ZR2 story, but we would still wait for early-build dealer allocation, real invoice transparency, and the first incentive wave before treating these as out-the-door numbers. Fleet and work buyers: price the WT you actually need (cab, bed, 4WD) — the $41,395 figure is the 2WD TurboMax floor only.
What we’d do. Cross-check the engine you want against yesterday’s powertrain specs table, then build from the trim row above — not from a random internet “from” price that strips destination. Production starts October; ask dealers when Fort Wayne / Silao builds hit your market.
Production and plants
Chevrolet (via GM Authority) says 2027 Silverado 1500 production starts in October. Builds are planned at Fort Wayne Assembly in Indiana and Silao in Mexico. Exact dealer arrival windows will vary by trim and options.
