2027 Silverado Patent Images

Not sure if anyone else has seen this yet...

 

Next-Gen 2027 Chevy Silverado Revealed Thanks to Patent Images

 

 

Design seems evolutionary.  Pulls from the 2024-current HD and the new 2025-current Tahoe/Suburban.  Cab greenhouse looks identical to the current T1 trucks, but all the sheet metal is new.  

 

Almost like just another facelift to the current truck.  Hopefully the powertrain has more excitement to offer.

I saw them. A few guys on one of the things I was reading has AI put color to the images to help show what they will look like.

 

Also found this one on a quick google.

Nothing too exciting there. I prefer the current model. I hope the Sierra looks better.

I like everything about it except for one thing, the side mirrors. I really wish they would go back to putting them up higher on the doors right in front of the windows like they used to be. It's a small issues I know, but it's one that I can't seem to get past.

Absolutely hate the headlamps. Remind me of an older model GMC.

I like this as far as the actual truck looks like this. My only negative is the giant L shaped trim below the headlight. It looks like a massive filler. The current truck is too busy with major elements way out of scale. This is a huge step forward in my mind. I hope they don't break the Sierra, but this makes me hopeful that they get that one right too.

Design aside, I'm hoping this makes it to the 6th gen small block.  

 

New GM Cylinder Deactivation Patent Filing Fixes Reliability Woes? - Coming for Next-Gen V8 Engines

My question would be, considering both former attempts at deactivation most people hated and had issues, what makes them think third time is the charm? I kinda expect the same results with it as the previous two attempts.

Like all generations of GM fullsize, I'll find something to like about it. 19-26 trucks are pretty good looking IMO, hard to beat.

The rocker arm style AFM in the 3.6 LGZ V6 2017-current have been rather reliable (Colorado/Canyon/Acadia/Blazer/XT5/XT6). 

 

Big thing with this system from the looks of it, is it eliminates having active lifters and absolutely destroying camshafts requiring major engine repairs.  Hopefully it has some sort of failsafe in where if there is an issue with valves not closing/opening for deactivation that it lets the pushrods/lifters continue operation without being compromised (bent rod, chewed cam, etc.).

Personally I wish they would go back old school. Every vehicle I have owned that has had AFM/DFM and I disabled it, didnt change my MPG that was anything noticeable. The previous 1500 I had, a 2022 Silverado ZR2, had the AS/S and DFM disabled along with 0W40 oil and no noticeable change in MPG. IMHO, most of this stuff seems more gimmicky and cost more in the long run to both the OEM and consumer

 

Luckily, this time around, I just purchased a 2500 with the 6.6L gas so nothing but engine there.
