Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration SILVERADO 2WD (23 city, 28 highway). EPA data dated 2026-06-15, the date EPA wrote the workbook in 26data.zip.↩
  2. CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 402 g/mi, or 250 g/km.↩
  3. Fuel cost: EPA's own annual estimate for this car is $2,150, on EPA's assumptions. It is an estimate, not a measured figure.↩
  4. Power: 305 hp is the rated figure, from EPA test-car data.↩
  5. Crash rating: NHTSA rated vehicles under this nameplate, but the ratings differ between the configurations it tested and none of them is this car's, so no rating is stated.↩
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (SILVERADO 1500 ICE), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  7. Complaints: NHTSA holds 11 for the 2026 Silverado, 1 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: not published in this market-year — complaint_rate: no row in this market-year carries it from a source that measures it (0/392).↩
  8. Kerb weight: not published. No source states a curb weight for this car.↩
  9. EPA test weight: 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩
  10. Warranty: not carried. The warranty table compiled from each maker's published statement has no verified entry for Chevrolet for 2026 in this market.↩
  11. Registrations: 590 Silverados of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
  12. This car is measured on the diesel scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
  13. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2026 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
