2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trims NJ

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes in nine trims, and choosing between them is really a question of how you split your time between work, family, towing, and trails. Starting prices run from $36,900 for the work-ready WT to $71,800 for the off-road ZR2, with four engines and several cab and bed combinations layered on top. That range covers everyone from a Trenton contractor who wants a simple work truck to a family that wants leather and Super Cruise.

Lucas Chevrolet stocks the full Silverado 1500 lineup, so you can sit in a Custom Trail Boss and a High Country the same afternoon. This guide breaks down every trim in depth, lays out a side-by-side comparison, walks through the comparisons buyers ask about most, and ends with a simple framework for picking the right one.

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

WT (Work Truck)

Starting at $36,900, the WT is the dependable base of the lineup. Available engines: the 2.7L TurboMax (310 horsepower, 430 lb-ft) standard, with the 5.3L V8 (355 horsepower) available on Double Cab and Crew Cab models. Rear-wheel drive is standard and 4WD is available. The WT is the most configurable on body style: Regular Cab, Double Cab, or Crew Cab, paired with the long, standard, or short bed. Standard equipment focuses on work, including the Trailering Package, vinyl or cloth seating, and a color touchscreen. It seats up to six with the front bench. This is the trim for fleets and buyers who want capability without paying for trim.

Custom

Starting at $42,400, the Custom keeps the work-truck bones and adds daily-driver polish. It runs the 2.7L TurboMax, the only engine offered on this trim. Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4WD available, in Double Cab or Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes 20-inch Bright Silver-painted aluminum wheels, a 10-way power driver seat with lumbar, a remote start, and the EZ Lift power lock and release tailgate. Available appearance packages include the Rally and TurboMax Blackout editions. It is the pick for buyers who want a clean look and a few comfort upgrades on a budget.

LT

Starting at $47,900, the LT is where the technology arrives and the configurability peaks. Available engines: 2.7L TurboMax, 5.3L V8, or 3.0L Duramax diesel (305 horsepower, 495 lb-ft). Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4WD available, in Double Cab or Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes the 13.4-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch reconfigurable driver display, LED reflector headlamps, and available heated seats, bucket seats with console, and the Safety Package with HD Surround Vision. The LT is the everyday-value pivot: order it with the diesel for a long-haul tower or with the 2.7 to keep the price down.

RST

Starting at $51,300, the RST brings a street-styled look with body-color trim and the broadest engine menu in the lineup. Available engines: 2.7L TurboMax, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft, on Crew Cab 4x4), or Duramax diesel. Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4WD available, in Double Cab or Crew Cab. It carries the 13.4-inch touchscreen and offers special editions including RST Select (a value edition from $48,110), Redline, Rally, and the Stars and Steel edition with Brembo brakes. The RST suits a buyer who wants a sporty truck but still wants the freedom to choose any engine.

Custom Trail Boss

Starting at $52,900, the Custom Trail Boss is the affordable way into factory off-road hardware. Available engines: 2.7L TurboMax, 5.3L V8, or Duramax diesel. It is 4WD only and comes as a Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes a 2-inch factory suspension lift, the Z71 Off-Road Package, an Autotrac 2-speed transfer case, an automatic locking rear differential, skid plates, and 18-inch wheels on Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires. It is built for buyers who want real trail capability without the LT Trail Boss price.

LTZ

Starting at $58,000, the LTZ steps into premium territory. Available engines: 5.3L V8 (standard), 6.2L V8 (on 4x4), or Duramax diesel. Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4WD available; it is a Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes perforated leather-appointed front seats, 20-inch wheels, eight cameras with up to 14 views, and an expanded suite of driver-assistance features. The LTZ is for buyers who want leather and full camera coverage for trailering without stepping up to the High Country price.

LT Trail Boss

Starting at $59,700, the LT Trail Boss pairs the Custom Trail Boss off-road hardware with LT-level comfort and tech. Available engines: 2.7L TurboMax, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, or Duramax diesel. It is 4WD only, as a Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes the 2-inch factory lift, Z71 Off-Road Package, Autotrac 2-speed transfer case, automatic locking rear differential, 20-inch high-gloss black wheels, and the 13.4-inch touchscreen. It is the choice for drivers who use the truck off-road on weekends but want a refined daily driver during the week.

High Country

Starting at $62,900, the High Country is the luxury flagship. Available engines: 5.3L V8 (standard), 6.2L V8 (on 4x4), or Duramax diesel. Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4WD available; it is a Crew Cab. Standard equipment includes premium leather with exclusive perforation and open-pore wood trim, the 13.4-inch touchscreen, and up to 14 camera views. The headline option is Super Cruise hands-free driving, which works even while towing, plus an available 15-inch head-up display and sport-mode active exhaust with the 6.2L V8. It is for buyers who want the most refined, most advanced Silverado.

ZR2

Starting at $71,800, the ZR2 is the peak factory off-road Silverado. Available engines: 3.0L Duramax diesel (standard) or 6.2L V8. It is 4WD only, as a Crew Cab Short Bed. Standard equipment includes Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, a 2-inch lift, an off-road cut front bumper enabling a 33.5-degree approach angle, large aluminum skid plates, 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, the Multi-Flex Tailgate, and a 15-inch head-up display. The ZR2 Bison edition adds AEV hardware. This is the trim for serious off-road drivers who want it built at the factory.

Common Silverado 1500 Trim Comparisons

WT vs Custom

Both run the 2.7L TurboMax and share the work-truck foundation, so this is a comfort-and-look decision. The WT, from $36,900, is the bare-bones tool with vinyl or cloth and a focus on the bed. The Custom, from $42,400, adds 20-inch wheels, a power driver seat, remote start, and the EZ Lift tailgate. If the truck is purely a work tool or a fleet unit, the WT saves money. If it doubles as a daily driver, the Custom's comfort upgrades are worth the step.

LT vs RST

These two sit close on price and share the 13.4-inch screens, but they aim at different buyers. The LT, from $47,900, is the configurable value play and can take the 2.7, 5.3, or diesel. The RST, from $51,300, adds body-color styling and unlocks the 6.2L V8 (on Crew Cab 4x4) along with sportier special editions. Choose the LT for the broadest value and the diesel option at a lower price; choose the RST for the street look and the 6.2L V8.

Custom Trail Boss vs LT Trail Boss

Both are 4WD-only with the same 2-inch factory lift and Z71 hardware. The Custom Trail Boss, from $52,900, keeps the interior simpler and the price lower. The LT Trail Boss, from $59,700, adds the 13.4-inch touchscreen, LT comfort features, 20-inch wheels, and the option of the 6.2L V8. If you mainly want the off-road hardware, the Custom Trail Boss delivers it for less. If the truck is also your daily driver, the LT Trail Boss's tech and comfort justify the jump. This is the question buyers from Fort Dix and the Pine Barrens ask us most.

LTZ vs High Country

Both are Crew Cab luxury trims with leather and full camera coverage. The LTZ, from $58,000, covers the premium essentials. The High Country, from $62,900, adds exclusive leather and open-pore wood, available Super Cruise hands-free driving, an available 15-inch head-up display, and sport-mode active exhaust with the 6.2L V8. If you want luxury value, the LTZ is the smart stop. If you want the most advanced Silverado and Super Cruise for long highway runs, the High Country is the one.

Which Silverado 1500 Trim Is Right for You?

If you need a work truck

Start with the WT or Custom. Both run the efficient 2.7L TurboMax, offer the full range of cabs and beds, and put the budget into capability. The WT is the leanest; the Custom adds daily comfort.

If you want the best all-around value

The LT is the everyday pivot. It brings the big screens, takes any of three engines, and can be configured from a value 2.7 RWD up to a diesel 4WD tower without leaving the trim.

If you tow heavy

Order a trim that can take the Duramax diesel or the 6.2L V8: the LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, or High Country. Properly equipped, the Silverado tows up to 13,300 lbs, and the diesel's 495 lb-ft of torque makes long pulls easier, whether that is a boat from Philadelphia to the Shore or a loaded trailer up the Turnpike.

If you off-road regularly

The Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2 add factory off-road hardware. The Trail Boss trims give you a 2-inch lift and Z71 gear; the ZR2 goes further with Multimatic DSSV dampers, locking differentials, and 33-inch tires for serious trails like those off Route 70 toward Wharton State Forest.

If luxury matters most

The High Country is the top of the lineup, with premium leather, available Super Cruise, and a head-up display. The LTZ is the value-luxury alternative if you do not need Super Cruise.
