The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has long been a favorite full-size pickup for truck buyers in Laredo and the surrounding areas. For 2026, Chevy has made some exciting updates to their light-duty truck lineup. Here's a look at what's new and how the 2025 and 2026 Silverado 1500 models compare.
You will find new color options available on the 2026 model year along with added appearance packages which cater to those who hunt, and more. As for the rest, it stays the same offering a standout lineup of vehicles with nine different trims: RST, LT, WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, High Country, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and ZR2. Whether you need a basic work truck around Hebbronville or a loaded luxury pickup in Zapata, there's a Silverado trim for you.
The 2026 Silverado continues to offer several cab and bed configurations. The Regular Cab is available with a standard or long bed. Double Cab and Crew Cab models are available with either a short or standard bed. With a wide array of configurations, you can find the perfect Silverado for your needs in Alice and beyond.
You'll still find several powerful yet efficient engine options. The 2.7-liter I-4 Turbo and 3.0-liter I-6 Turbo-Diesel carry over from 2025. However, the 5.3L V8 and 6.2L V8 engines have been updated for increased power and torque in Carrizo Springs and across South Texas.
All engines pair with either an eight-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and strong acceleration. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available on all trims for enhanced traction and capability.
The Silverado 1500 has always been a highly capable truck. The available Max Trailering Package now allows the Silverado to tow up to 12,500 pounds, which is ideal for towing boats, campers, and trailers in the Laredo area.
Inside the cab, the 2026 Silverado still utilizes a quality onboard infotainment system with a large center touchscreen display on most trims. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration carry over, allowing you to easily access apps, maps, and more on the go.
On the safety front, all 2026 Silverado models come standard with Chevy Safety Assist. This package bundles six driver assistance technologies, including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and auto high beams, for greater peace of mind behind the wheel.
