The New 2027 Chevy Bolt: Chevrolet’s Newest, Most Affordable EV

2027 Chevy Bolt RS

Starting MSRP $28,595

Chevrolet has officially announced the return of the all-new 2027 Chevy Bolt, and it’s clear they’ve delivered more than just a refresh. The new Bolt brings a bold design, a smarter interior, significantly faster charging, and new safety tech, all while maintaining an affordable entry price that helped make it one of America’s most popular EVs.

If you’re in Kansas City and looking for an affordable electric vehicle that delivers on range and features, the 2027 Chevy Bolt should be at the top of your list.

New RS Trim Option

The 2027 Chevy Bolt will be available in RS and LT trims. The exterior has been redesigned. Front and rear styling is sharper and more aerodynamic, with new LED lighting elements. The new RS trim gives the Bolt a sportier look with gloss black roof rails, unique wheels, red interior stitching, and exclusive design accents that stand out.

Four new exterior colors are also being introduced, including eye-catching options like Habanero Orange and Atomic Yellow. 

New Interior Features

Inside the cabin, Chevrolet has given the Bolt a significant upgrade. It now features a large 11.3-inch center diagonal touchscreen and an 11-inch driver information display. The layout is clean, intuitive, and designed to keep key controls within easy reach.

Comfort also takes a step forward. Evotex seat material, a durable leather-alternative, comes standard on the RS and is available on LT trims. Available multi-color ambient lighting, a redesigned center console, and underfloor cargo storage make the interior more versatile and refined than ever.

Estimated 255 Miles of Range

Chevrolet estimates the 2027 Bolt will deliver up to 255 miles of range on a full charge.* 

Where the new Bolt really sets itself apart is with charging. It’s the first Chevy EV to come standard with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, giving drivers access to a wider network of DC fast chargers, including Tesla Superchargers*. Chevrolet claims the new Bolt can charge 2.5x faster than the previous version, cutting down your charging time dramatically.

Smarter, Safer Driving

The 2027 Bolt comes with more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features. These include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and even Traffic Sign Recognition.

You’ll also get Google built-in, providing access to Google Maps, voice control, and media apps directly on the infotainment system. Wireless phone charging is available, and over-the-air software updates ensure your Bolt continues to improve over time.

Looking ahead, the new Bolt is also expected to offer Super Cruise, though availability may vary based on production timing.

Two Trim Levels, Affordable Starting Price

Chevrolet will offer the new Bolt in two trims: LT and RS. The LT is expected to start at $28,595 MSRP, while the RS will start at $31,600 MSRP. Both trims deliver excellent value, especially when considering the technology, range, and available features.

Chevy has positioned the new Bolt as a true everyday EV. It is practical for daily driving, priced for accessibility, is now easier and faster to charge, and includes many standard safety features.

Silverado 1500

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Towing Capacity

If you're shopping for a capable full-size truck, towing capacity is likely one of your top priorities. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a wide range of engine options, and each one delivers a different level of towing performance. Understanding how they compare makes it easier to choose the right configuration for the work, hauling, or adventure you have in mind. Maximum Towing Capacity The 2026 Silverado 1500 is rated for a maximum available towing capacity of 13,300 lbs. when properly equipped. That figure puts the Silverado 1500 at the top of the light-duty truck segment and gives buyers serious pulling power without stepping up to a heavy-duty model. Reaching that maximum requires selecting the right engine and equipment package, which is why understanding your engine options matters before you buy. 2.7L TurboMax The TurboMax is the standard engine on most Silverado 1500 trim levels, including the WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss. It produces 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet positions the TurboMax as a best-in-class torque leader among its class, and it delivers capable performance for a wide range of everyday towing needs. When properly equipped, the TurboMax is rated to tow up to approximately 9,500 lbs. 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 For buyers who want more power and towing capability, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is a strong upgrade. This engine produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance under load. It comes standard on the LTZ and High Country trims and is available on select configurations of the WT, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss. When properly equipped, the 5.3L V8 is rated to tow up to approximately 11,300 lbs. 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 The 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 is the most powerful gasoline engine available in the Silverado 1500 lineup. It delivers 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine is available on the RST Crew Cab 4x4, LT Trail Boss, LTZ 4x4, ZR2, and High Country 4x4. It is also the engine that unlocks the Silverado 1500's maximum available towing capacity, reaching up to 13,300 lbs. when properly equipped. 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel The available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel offers a different performance profile than the gasoline engines. It produces 305 horsepower and a best-in-class 495 lb-ft of torque, making it the highest-torque option in the lineup. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Duramax diesel also delivers up to 28 mpg on the highway, making it an attractive choice for buyers who tow frequently and want to balance performance with fuel efficiency. When properly equipped, the diesel is also rated to tow up to 13,300 lbs. The diesel is available on the Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country trims, and it comes standard on the ZR2. How to Find Your Max Towing Capacity The most accurate way to find the towing capacity for your specific Silverado is to check the trailer information label. Chevrolet places this sticker on the driver side door jamb to provide the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) specific to your vehicle. These figures are calculated based on your truck's specific build at the factory. Your VIN is located in several easy-to-find spots: Windshield: On the lower corner of the driver’s side dashboard, visible from outside the vehicle. Door Jamb: On a sticker inside the driver’s side doorframe. Documents: On your vehicle's registration, insurance card, or purchase paperwork. If you do not have a specific Trailering Information Label, you can calculate the capacity yourself using two primary numbers found on your door jamb’s VIN plate or in your owner's manual: Locate the GCWR: The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is the maximum allowable weight of your loaded truck plus the trailer. Determine Curb Weight: This is the weight of your empty truck without passengers or cargo. The Formula: Subtract the curb weight from the GCWR to find your maximum towing capacity. Towing Capacity = GCWR – Curb Weight Because the Silverado 1500 offers multiple engine options, including the TurboMax and the Duramax Turbo-Diesel, your capacity depends heavily on the powertrain. Factors such as the rear axle ratio and the presence of a Max Trailering Package also change the final rating. If you are unsure of your truck's specific limits, our team at Cable Dahmer Chevrolet of Kansas City can help you identify your maximum capacity. Understanding Hitch Classes and Weights Your towing capacity is the maximum total weight your Silverado can pull horizontally. This is different from the GVWR, which is the maximum safe weight of the vehicle itself, including passengers, fuel, cargo, and the tongue weight of the trailer. To tow safely, you must ensure your equipment matches these physical limits. Trailer hitches are divided into classes to help you choose the right connection for your load: Class III: These pull up to 8,000 pounds and are the most common hitches for general-purpose towing. Class IV: Often used for large campers, these hitches can pull up to 10,000 pounds. Class V: These are used for heavy loads up to 20,000 pounds and require specifically configured trucks. Built-In Towing Technology Towing capacity is only part of the story. The 2026 Silverado 1500 also includes a strong set of available trailering tools that make the experience easier and safer. An available camera system offers up to 14 views to help with hitching and monitoring your load. The available trailering technology can also assist with hookup and provide real-time feedback while you're on the road. These features are particularly useful for drivers who tow frequently or work with larger trailers. Which Engine Should You Choose? The right engine depends on what you plan to tow and how often you tow it. For lighter loads and everyday versatility, the TurboMax handles the job well. If you regularly haul campers, boats, or equipment in the 10,000 to 11,000 lb. range, the 5.3L V8 offers a solid performance jump. For drivers who need the full 13,300 lbs. of capacity, either the 6.2L V8 or the Duramax diesel will get you there, with the diesel offering an added advantage in fuel economy for high-frequency towers. It is also worth noting that maximum towing figures depend on proper equipment, including the right hitch, trailer brake controller, and configuration. Chevrolet provides a towing guide and trailering resources to help you match your configuration to your needs.
