The launch of the next-generation 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 and 2027 GMC Sierra 1500 is fast approaching, and now, GM Authority has revealed new production details.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 is currently scheduled to begin in October 2026. As is usually the case with target production schedules, this timeframe is still tentative and could change at any time between now and then.
For your information, production of the Chevy Silverado 1500 is currently taking place at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana, the GM Silao plant in Mexico, and the GM Oshawa plant in Canada, while the Sierra 1500 is produced at the Fort Wayne plant and the Silao plant.
Although GM hasn’t officially unveiled one of its next-generation pickups, GM Authority has diligently presented anything and everything there is to know so far. As a quick refresher, the 2027 Silverado 1500 and 2027 Sierra 1500 will mark the next major evolution of GM’s full-size bread-and-butter trucks, and will ride on an updated version of GM’s T1 platform, known internally as the T1-2. While the basic platform will remain body-on-frame, enhancements are expected to support improved ride quality, towing capability and efficiency.
Powertrain offerings are also expected to expand. This new pickup will use the Gen 6 Small Block V8, while updating the 2.7L I4 L3B turbocharged gasoline engine and the 3.0L I6 LZ0 Duramax turbodiesel engine.
As for the cabin, the next-generation Silverado and Sierra are expected to feature significant interior upgrades with further advances in infotainment technology, connectivity and driver assistance. Improved materials and expanded color options are also on the menu.
Lastly, the exteriors of both trucks will be significantly reworked. In fact, we’ve already seen what the new 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 might look like thanks to a series of patent images released last year, and GM Authority have also made some renderings, so check them out.
