It's official. Chevy pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Silverado 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevrolet-silverado-official-first-look-specs/ The quick hits: LT is dead. The new core trim is just called "Silverado." Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally gets the 10-speed. ZR2 moves to standard 35s with front and rear lockers. Over 60 inches of dash display on ZR2 and High Country, passenger screen included. Seven trims, three lifted from the factory: ZR2, Trail Boss, and a new Custom Trail Boss. So let's get into it: 5.7 and 6.6 instead of holding out for a 6.7. Right call? Killing the LT name after all these years: bold, or a mistake? Does the new look land for you, or is it too safe? No power numbers at reveal. Smart tease, or frustrating? What are you ordering on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

Truck owners are notorious for finding clever ways to upgrade their rigs with parts from other vehicles. If a part bolts up, looks better, and doesn't break the bank, the community will find it. Right now, a remarkably simple interior upgrade is driving Silverado and Sierra owners crazy across Facebook groups and forums, and it comes straight out of the C8 Corvette. Owners of 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019-2022 GMC Sierra trucks have discovered that the premium, metallic push-to-start button from the new Corvette is a direct, plug-and-play fit for their dashboards. It requires no programming, takes about three minutes to install, and costs under $43. https://www.gm-trucks.com/corvette-start-button-mod-silverado-sierra/ GM Part Number: 85007203 While some owners recommend using a plastic non-marring trim tool to gently pry the old button out from the front of the dash, the community has found an even safer, tool-free method to pop it out from behind: (Optional but recommended) Disconnect your truck's battery to avoid accidentally starting the truck or throwing a random code during the swap. Reach your hand up under the dashboard, directly behind where the start button sits. Locate the back of the button housing, squeeze the two retention tabs on the sides of the button, and push outward. The button will pop right out the front of the dash. Slide the red locking pin UP on the wiring connector to release it, then pull the connector out of the old button. Plug the wiring harness into your new Corvette button and lock the red pin. Push the new button firmly back into the dash from the front until it clicks securely into place.

Let’s be honest: the built-in voice commands in our trucks right now are pretty much useless unless you speak like a robot and use the exact right phrasing. Ijust posted a new article on the front page detailing a massive software update that aims to fix that. GM is officially rolling out Google Gemini to approximately 4 million 2022 and newer vehicles equipped with Google built-in. Here is the quick rundown of what this AI upgrade actually does: No more robotic prompts: You can talk to it naturally. You can ask for directions to the nearest post office, and then add a stop for coffee halfway there in the same breath. Actually useful for towing: You can ask Gemini to find trailer-friendly parking or the cheapest diesel along your current route. Smart texting: It can summarize long texts and let you reply with natural speech (even adding emojis if that's your thing) without touching your phone. The Catch: To get this update and actually use Gemini, you must be connected to OnStar. You can read the full breakdown of the features and the rollout timeline here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-google-gemini-truck-update/ Let’s hear it: Are you excited to have actual, functional AI in the dashboard that understands natural speech? Or is the OnStar requirement a total dealbreaker for you? Drop your thoughts below!

I just posted a full breakdown of General Motors' Q1 2026 financial report on the GM-Trucks.com home page. Wall Street expected an average quarter, but GM completely crushed it with a massive $4.3 billion adjusted profit. Here are the quick highlights: Trucks Rule: GM holds a dominating 42% market share in the U.S. full-size pickup segment. Gas-powered trucks and crossovers are funding the whole operation. Tariff Windfall: GM scored a $500 million boost from a Supreme Court ruling on old tariffs. The EV Pullback Cost: Slowing down EV production cost GM a massive $1.1 billion charge to pay suppliers and cancel contracts. Subscriptions: Super Cruise revenue jumped 85% year-over-year. You can read the full deep-dive article with all the numbers here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-q1-2026-earnings-truck-sales-ev-pullback/ What do you all think? Does taking a $1.1 billion hit on EVs just to refocus on highly profitable gas trucks make sense for GM's long-term strategy? Drop your thoughts below!

Hey everyone, if you have ever wondered what the absolute peak of the Colorado platform looks like, you need to check out Lot 3003 at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. GM Defense is auctioning off a fully functional, 2.8L Duramax-powered Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) with no reserve, and it's built right on top of the Colorado ZR2. 100% of the hammer price goes directly to the Medal of Honor Foundation, but before you start planning your ultimate overland build, there is a massive catch: this rig is strictly sold on a bill of sale, is completely illegal to drive on public roads, and falls under strict US military export control laws. What do you guys think this tactical beast will actually sell for when the hammer drops on April 18th, and what would you even do with a non-street-legal military Colorado? https://www.gm-trucks.com/barrett-jackson-2026-gm-defense-isv-utility-auction/

The rumor mill is pretty wild these days. We've heard from reliable sources that 6.6L was mentioned during the dealer update conference, however today Chevrolet released the 6.7L LS6 for 2027. It will land in the Corvette Grand Sport and also be the standard engine for the Corvette. Leaks from Dealer Meeting: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevy-silverado-leaks-5-7l-v8-1000-mile-range/ Grand Sport and LS6 Info: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-corvette-grand-sport-6-7l-ls6-v8-reveal/ Since the top level Silverado/Sierra engine has traditionally been the same as the base Corvette engine- does that mean the 2027 Silverado/Sierra will get a 6.7L V8? Or are they bucking the trend and splitting up the displacements? 6.6L for trucks and 6.7L for Corvette?

2027 NHTSA filings maybe just let a massive, supercharged cat out of the bag. Is General Motors is finally dropping the Cadillac Escalade-V’s hand-built LT4 engine into the GMC Yukon? It sure seems like it. Read the details here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-gmc-yukon-supercharged-lt4-v8-leak/ What does everyone think? Would you be interested in a Supercharged Yukon?

Following up on the dealer reveal article from earlier this month, we were passed some details that dealers heard at their annual meeting a few weeks ago. I want to preface this by saying this is still unconfirmed, spotty intel. BUT... Here is the breakdown of what we are hearing: The 6.7L Rumor now seems unlikely: The gas engine lineup was confirmed to be a 5.7L and a 6.6L V8. No power figures yet, but it looks like Chevy is bringing back the iconic 350-cubic-inch displacement. 1,000-Mile Range Duramax: A surprise detail- GM is targeting a staggering 1,000-mile driving range on a single tank for the light-duty 3.0L Duramax. What would that take to pull off? I just published a full breakdown on the front page with a deeper dive into the fuel capacity math here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevy-silverado-leaks-5-7l-v8-1000-mile-range/ What does everyone think?

There's a new bulletin out addressing leaking radiator inlet hoses in 2023-2026 Colorado/Canyon pickups. https://www.gm-trucks.com/2023-2026-colorado-canyon-coolant-leak-tsb-pit6494/ Anyone have this issue here?

It sounds like this TSB may apply? Did you ever figure it out? https://www.gm-trucks.com/silverado-engine-wont-shut-off-tsb-pit6489/

Just published- a new Pro Tip covering a clearance issue affecting 2021-2025 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade models. The factory routing for the driver's side rear brake pad wear sensor wire can allow it to rub directly against the spinning half shaft boot, eventually tearing the rubber and causing a grease leak. The official fix under Bulletin #25-NA-109 is simple, a revised bracket and a tie strap, but it's crucial to catch it before the boot is destroyed. Read the full article and see the diagnostic photos here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-suv-brake-sensor-half-shaft-boot-damage/

The 2025 Equinox is barely getting settled into driveways, but we’ve already dug up some fleet order details detailing major changes for the upcoming 2027 model year. While the sheet metal isn't changing, the mechanical and packaging updates underneath are already sparking a massive debate over in our Facebook group, and I wanted to bring the conversation here to the forum. Here’s the TL;DR of what’s coming for 2027: The CVT is Officially Dead: Chevy is dropping the CVT entirely. FWD models will now get the exact same 8-speed automatic as the AWD models. (Though as many of you 1.5L AWD owners have already pointed out, getting that 8-speed to actually shift into 8th gear at highway speeds is a whole other conversation...) RIP Cacti Green: The polarizing Cacti Green is being deleted from the order guide, making way for a new color called "Autumn Harvest Metallic." Tech & Interior Tweaks: Connected Cameras are finally coming to the Safety and Technology Package, and the RS trim is dropping the Santorini Blue stitching to go exclusively Torch Red. You can read my full breakdown of the changes and why current owners are divided over on the homepage here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevy-equinox-changes-cvt-deleted-8-speed-standard/ I want to hear from you guys: Are you early FWD adopters feeling frustrated by the CVT being dropped so quickly, or are the AWD owners right about the 8-speed acting more like a 7-speed on the highway? Sound off below!

Hey everyone, we just wrapped up a week testing the new Traverse Z71 out here in the New Hampshire slop. I really wanted to see if Chevy actually built a legit, winter-capable SUV this time around, or if they just slapped some all-terrain tires on a minivan. We put the new twin-clutch AWD through its paces on deeply rutted dirt roads, tested out the cabin tech on 10-degree mornings, and got some hard, real-world MPG numbers on the new 2.5L turbo to compare against the old 3.6L V6. You can check out my full, honest breakdown on the homepage here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/tested-chevy-traverse-z71-mud-season-review/ For those of you who already have a new Traverse in the driveway—are you seeing the same fuel economy numbers I did? Let's discuss it below!

General Motors has just issued a critical safety recall for nearly 12,000 2025 and 2026 Silverado and Sierra 3500HD gas trucks equipped with dual fuel tanks. A software glitch in the Engine Control Module can cause fuel to become trapped in the secondary tank, leading your dashboard fuel gauge to display an inaccurate, over-optimistic reading. Because of this, the truck can run completely out of available gas and unexpectedly stall out while driving. We’ve broken down the exact production dates affected, the specific technical cause behind the glitch, and how GM is rolling out the fix—which gives owners the opportunity to accept a simple Over-The-Air (OTA) update without visiting the dealership—in our full article on the homepage. Read the full breakdown and check your production dates here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-recall-2025-2026-silverado-sierra-3500hd-fuel-gauge-stall/ Let's use this thread to track the rollout: Have any of you 3500HD owners experienced this "lying" fuel gauge out in the wild? For those who are affected, have you received the OTA update prompt on your dash yet, or are you scheduling a dealer visit? Drop your experiences, questions, and update statuses below so we can see how quickly GM is pushing this out to the fleet!
