Ask any truck driver—they'll all attest to the powertrain being the most crucial part of what they drive.

Two brand-new V8 engines see Chevy take the Silverado to new heights of performance and capability.
Turbocharged 2.7L Four-Cylinder TurboMax
The TurboMax makes a welcome return for 2027. However, the entire engine has been improved to satisfy the needs of truck enthusiasts. Now paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, the new TurboMax produces 350 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque.
