Chevrolet is giving its Silverado pickup a major update with new V8 engines, a redesigned exterior and more technology inside the cabin.The automaker on Tuesday introduced the next-generation 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, calling it the "most powerful Silverado ever" and marking one of the pickup’s biggest updates in years. The truck is expected to go on sale at the end of the year, with pricing to be announced later, according to the company."Silverado has earned truck customers’ trust over decades of hard work in the real world," Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet, said in a statement. "With the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500, we’re taking that legacy forward by building the most capable, refined and advanced Silverado lineup we’ve ever offered."GM LETTING SOME EV OWNERS SELL ELECTRICITY BACK TO THE US POWER GRIDThe 2027 Silverado will offer four powertrain options, including new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 engines. Chevrolet said the truck will have the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in its class. The lineup will also include an updated 2.7-liter TurboMax engine paired with a 10-speed transmission, along with the Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel."From tough towing scenarios to the daily demands our customers put on their trucks, these next-generation V8s were engineered and proven to perform in the real world," Mark Dickens, executive chief engineer at Chevrolet, said in a statement.The 2027 Silverado will come in seven trims, including Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, Silverado, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country.GM RECALLS THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES OVER TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT COULD INCREASE RISK OF CRASHChevrolet said the new lineup is designed to give buyers more choice, from work-focused trucks to off-road models and more premium versions.

Chevrolet said the Silverado will offer Super Cruise driver-assistance technology with trailering capability, allowing hands-free driving while towing on compatible roads.The truck also gets a new exterior design, including a stronger front end, new LED headlights and taillights and updated wheel openings.GM DOUBLES DOWN ON AMERICAN MANUFACTURING WITH $4B INVESTMENT"The goal with the new Silverado was to create a truck that looks stronger, more modern with demanding presence at first glance, while staying true to the authentic truck character customers expect from Chevrolet," Chevrolet Global Executive… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Tesla Driver Using Autopilot Crashes Into Home in Texas and Kills a Woman, Offic...

[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Ken Griffin fires back at Mamdani, says business leaders must ‘fight for t...Billionaire Citadel founder Ken Griffin is encouraging New York's business leaders to take on socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, warning that the city's future could be at risk if employers and investors stay quiet."They need to find their voice and fight for their city," Griffin said Thursday at a Manhattan event, according to Bloomberg."My advice is to speak up. What’s the worst that’s going to happen? It will be that New York empties of talent and that’s a catastrophe. If the mayor wants to say a few words about you, your record speaks for itself: You create jobs, you create value and you pay taxes."MAMDANI'S WALL STREET COURTSHIP SPARKS CRITICISM OF ANTI-BILLIONAIRE AGENDAGriffin's remarks mark the latest chapter in an ongoing clash between Wall Street's billionaire class and Mamdani, whose proposals to raise taxes on wealthy New Yorkers and luxury property owners have drawn fierce criticism from business leaders concerned about the city's economic competitiveness.The financial titan, whose net worth is estimated at $48.3 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, argued that New York's corporate leaders should focus on the long-term future of the city rather than short-term political battles.BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN SAYS CITADEL’S CHICAGO EXODUS WAS ‘NOT HARD,’ CITES CRIME, TAXES"Everything should be viewed through the lens of, Citadel will be here far longer than he’ll be mayor," Griffin said.The comments come as Griffin and Mamdani appear to be cautiously opening a dialogue after months of public sparring over taxes, wealth and the city's business climate.The socialist mayor recently reached out to Griffin after previously criticizing the billionaire hedge fund manager over his Manhattan penthouse and personal wealth. Mamdani notably stood outside Griffin's luxury property to promote his proposal to raise taxes on second homes in New York City worth more than $5 million.CHICAGO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN KEN GRIFFIN TURNS ON A CITY, NOW MAMDANI MAY FIND OUTThe outreach comes as some business leaders warn New York risks alienating major employers and investors — a concern Griffin has raised before in another major American city.The tensions have fueled concerns among some business leaders that New York could follow a path similar to Chicago, where Griffin spent years criticizing crime, taxes and public policy before moving Citadel's headquarters to Miami in 2022. The relocation marked the departure of one of the financial industry's most influential firms and underscored the economic impact that can follow when a major corporate player… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
