2027 Chevrolet Silverado EV

Chevrolet is streamlining its electric pickup lineup for the 2027 model year. Instead of offering multiple overlapping trim levels, the 2027 Silverado EV range is expected to focus on three core models: WT, LT, and Trail Boss. The performance-oriented RST trim is reportedly discontinued, while the LT Max Range configuration also disappears from the lineup.

Although Chevrolet has not yet released a final 2027 order guide, the current picture from official product information and reputable industry reporting provides a clear look at what buyers can expect.

2027 Chevrolet Silverado EV at a Glance

Seven Available Configurations

The simplified lineup consists of seven configurations spread across three trims.

WT (Work Truck)

• WT Standard Range
• WT Extended Range
• WT Max Range

LT

• LT Standard Range
• LT Extended Range

Trail Boss

• Trail Boss Extended Range
• Trail Boss Max Range

This new structure eliminates several higher-end variants while making the lineup easier to understand for both retail and commercial buyers.

WT: Built for Commercial Customers

The WT (Work Truck) remains Chevrolet’s fleet-oriented Silverado EV. It continues to serve contractors, businesses, municipalities, and other commercial users who prioritize capability and durability over luxury features.

For 2027, WT remains the only trim available with all three battery options:

• Standard Range
• Extended Range
• Max Range

Its broad battery selection allows fleet operators to choose between lower purchase costs or longer operating range depending on their needs.

LT: Technology and Everyday Comfort

The LT continues as the Silverado EV’s mainstream consumer model, combining advanced technology with improved comfort and convenience features.

For 2027, Chevrolet reportedly simplifies the LT lineup by removing the Max Range version. Buyers can now choose between:

• Standard Range
• Extended Range

Current Silverado EV models position the LT as the trim offering premium interior materials, larger technology packages, and optional features such as Super Cruise and the Multi-Flex Midgate.

Trail Boss: The New Flagship for Off-Road Buyers

The biggest addition to the 2027 lineup is the Trail Boss, which becomes Chevrolet’s dedicated off-road Silverado EV.

Designed specifically for trail performance, the Trail Boss includes several unique upgrades:

• 2-inch factory suspension lift
• 35-inch all-terrain tires
• Four-wheel steering
• Sidewinder diagonal steering capability
• Available PowerBase offboard power system

Unlike the other trims, Trail Boss is offered exclusively with larger battery packs:

• Extended Range
• Max Range

This positions it as the performance-focused model in the Silverado EV lineup after the departure of the RST.

Battery, Power, and Driving Range

Current official Chevrolet information lists a maximum Silverado EV driving range of up to 492 miles, although individual 2027 configurations are expected to vary.

Industry reporting outlines two Trail Boss battery options:

Trail Boss Extended Range

• Battery: 170 kWh
• Output: 625 horsepower
• Estimated Range: Approximately 410 miles

Trail Boss Max Range

• Battery: 205 kWh
• Output: 725 horsepower
• Torque: 775 lb-ft
• GM-Estimated Range: Approximately 478 miles

The Trail Boss also uses Chevrolet’s Wide Open Watts performance mode to deliver maximum power when needed.

Interior Technology

Even with the simplified trim lineup, the Silverado EV continues to offer an impressive list of standard technology.

Standard equipment includes:

• 17.7-inch center touchscreen
• 11-inch digital driver information display

Higher trims continue to receive additional premium features, including:

• Available Super Cruise hands-free driving on LT
• Standard Super Cruise on Trail Boss
• Available Multi-Flex Midgate on LT and Trail Boss

These features help maintain the Silverado EV’s position as one of the most technologically advanced electric pickups on the market.

Towing and Utility

Capability remains a major focus for the Silverado EV.

Current reporting indicates the Trail Boss equipped with the Extended Range battery can tow up to 12,500 pounds.

The available PowerBase system further enhances utility by providing:

• Up to six 120-volt outlets
• One 240-volt outlet

This allows the truck to power tools, camping equipment, job sites, or even serve as backup power during emergencies.

What’s New for 2027?

The biggest changes include:

• Streamlined lineup with three trims instead of four
• RST discontinued
• LT Max Range discontinued
• Trail Boss positioned as the premium off-road model
• Seven total configurations across the lineup

These updates simplify the buying process while giving each trim a more clearly defined purpose.

What Remains Unconfirmed

While the overall lineup appears well established, Chevrolet has not yet released a complete official 2027 Silverado EV order guide.

Several details remain subject to confirmation, including:

• Final pricing
• EPA-certified driving range for each configuration
• Standard versus optional equipment
• Final option packages and ordering combinations

Until Chevrolet publishes the official specifications, some of the reported 2027 details should be considered preliminary.

Final Thoughts

The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado EV appears to prioritize simplicity without sacrificing capability. By reducing the lineup to WT, LT, and Trail Boss, Chevrolet gives each trim a clearer identity: WT serves commercial buyers, LT caters to everyday drivers seeking comfort and technology, and Trail Boss becomes the flagship off-road model with impressive power, range, and utility.

Although final specifications are still pending, the available information suggests Chevrolet is refining the Silverado EV into a more focused and easier-to-shop electric truck while preserving the advanced technology, long-range capability, and work-ready performance that have defined the model.

Important note

A few things in the spec sheet were inferred from current Silverado EV data rather than formally published as finalized 2027 order-guide facts, especially where Chevrolet had not yet posted a full 2027 order sheet. The lineup reduction and dropped configurations are the strongest 2027-specific facts from the sources above.
