54 Chevrolet Silverado Statistics: Sales, Capability, Safety and EV Data

Chevrolet Silverado statistics span model scope, price, powertrains, towing, dimensions, safety testing and electric-truck estimates. The figures below identify the model year, U.S. measurement context and configuration limits so that 1500, EV and test results are not treated as interchangeable.

Chevrolet Silverado Sales, Model Scope and Price Data

The supplied Silverado figures describe the U.S. market lineup rather than a historical sales series. Chevrolet’s 2026 Silverado 1500 page displays a comparison of 10 models, so this count is a manufacturer-page lineup count, not a measure of units sold.

For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet lists a starting MSRP of $37,200 and a displayed as-shown price of $73,590. The first is manufacturer MSRP and excludes options, destination, taxes and dealer charges; the second is a displayed configuration price, not an average transaction price. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

The same page gives the 2026 Silverado 1500 an unloaded-weight range of 4,410–5,710 pounds and an overall-length range of 211–242 inches. These are configuration ranges affected by cab, bed, equipment and other specifications, while the listed width including mirrors is 97.5 inches. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

These figures establish the scale of the model family but should not be read as a single vehicle profile. Price, mass and exterior dimensions vary across the displayed configurations.

Chevrolet Silverado Engine Power, Torque and Efficiency

Chevrolet displays four engine choices for the 2026 Silverado 1500. The TurboMax uses an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the 5.3L, 6.2L and Duramax powertrains use 10-speed automatics. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

2026 powertrain Power Torque
TurboMax 310 hp 430 lb-ft
5.3L EcoTec3 V8 355 hp 383 lb-ft
6.2L EcoTec3 V8 420 hp 460 lb-ft
Duramax 3.0L diesel 305 hp 495 lb-ft

The TurboMax, 5.3L and Duramax figures are available engine ratings, while Chevrolet says the 6.2L is available only on selected configurations. The Duramax rating combines 305 horsepower with the highest listed torque figure, 495 lb-ft, among these four 2026 entries. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

Chevrolet displays the 2026 Duramax Silverado at 28 EPA-estimated highway mpg. It also cites an EPA-estimated 624-mile driving range for an available Duramax Silverado across a 2025–2026 model-year claim; both are estimates, and actual economy or range varies with configuration and use.

Chevrolet Silverado Towing and Payload Statistics

The 2026 Silverado 1500 has a maximum available trailering capacity of 13,300 pounds and a maximum available payload of 2,260 pounds. Both are available maxima for specified configurations, not universal ratings for every Silverado 1500. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

The 2024 Chevrolet trailering guide shows how cab, drivetrain, engine, bed and equipment alter the rating. Selected conventional-trailer figures are:

2024 configuration GCWR Conventional towing
Regular cab, 2WD, TurboMax, standard bed 14,000 lb 9,100 lb
Regular cab, 2WD, TurboMax, long bed 14,500 lb 9,500 lb
Regular cab, 2WD, 5.3L V8, long bed 15,000 lb 9,900 lb
Regular cab, 4×4, TurboMax, standard bed 14,000 lb 8,900 lb
Double cab, 2WD, Duramax, standard bed 15,000 lb 13,300 lb with Max Trailering and 20-inch wheels
Double cab, 2WD, Duramax, Max Trailering and 20-inch wheels 19,000 lb 13,300 lb

The guide defines GCWR as the allowed combined vehicle-and-trailer weight. Occupants, fuel, cargo and optional equipment count toward the applicable limits, so the table is configuration-specific rather than a general Silverado towing promise.

Chevrolet Silverado Dimensions, Cargo and Configuration Data

The 2026 cab configurations have different approximate fuel-tank capacities: 28 gallons for regular cab and 34 gallons for both double cab and crew cab. Chevrolet presents these as approximate available capacities in its configuration table. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

Base payload also varies by powertrain and drivetrain in the 2026 data:

  • The standard TurboMax crew-cab 2WD has a 2,040-pound base payload.
  • The 5.3L crew-cab 2WD has a 1,920-pound base payload.
  • The Duramax crew-cab 2WD has a 1,870-pound base payload.
  • The crew-cab 4WD with the 6.6L V8 has a 1,510-pound base payload.

These are base payload values for named configurations; options, occupants and cargo reduce the remaining usable capacity. Chevrolet: 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500

The 2026 crew-cab 4WD ZR2 has a 7,500-pound maximum GVWR, meaning the maximum loaded vehicle weight for that specified configuration. Separately, Chevrolet lists 89.1 cubic feet of standard cargo volume for the 2025 Silverado bed; bed configuration and the measurement definition matter when interpreting that figure.

Chevrolet Silverado Safety-Test Statistics

IIHS rated the 2026 Silverado 1500 crew cab Good overall in the driver-side small-overlap front test. The rating is presented for 2019–2026 models and the tested 2019 LT crew cab 2WD, so it does not automatically apply to every Silverado cab, trim or model family. IIHS: 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

In the updated moderate-overlap test using a 2023 test vehicle, IIHS reported these driver-dummy measures:

  • HIC-15 was 212.
  • Maximum chest compression was 21 millimeters.
  • Maximum Nij was 0.18.
  • Maximum tibia index values were 0.40 left and 0.93 right.

These are controlled laboratory dummy measurements, not population crash rates or observed injury incidence. IIHS: 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2023 model-year IIHS pedestrian crash-prevention tests produced scenario-specific speed reductions. In the 25-mph crossing-child daytime test, impact speed was reduced by 11 mph; in the 37-mph parallel-adult nighttime test, speed was reduced by 26 mph with high beams. IIHS: 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Chevrolet Silverado EV Range and Performance Estimates

The Silverado EV figures are launch specifications announced for the 2024 model. Chevrolet announced up to 450 miles of estimated driving range for the Silverado EV Work Truck and up to 10,000 pounds of trailering capacity.

These are estimates or available maxima for specified configurations, and range varies with trim, battery, wheels, weather and driving conditions. Chevrolet newsroom: The Pickup Reimagined

For the Silverado EV RST, Chevrolet announced up to 1,500 pounds of payload. The launch announcement also gave the available Wide Open Watts mode up to 754 horsepower and more than 785 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet newsroom: The Pickup Reimagined

The same 2024 launch specification gave the Silverado EV RST a GM-estimated 0–60 mph time of less than 4.5 seconds. This is a manufacturer estimate whose result can vary with conditions and test procedure, and it should not be compared with a measured fleet outcome or treated as continuous output in every driving situation. Chevrolet newsroom: The Pickup Reimagined

The EV data therefore adds a separate electric-truck scope to the Silverado overview. Its announced range, towing, payload and performance figures are not interchangeable with the 2026 Silverado 1500 gasoline and diesel specifications above.
