If you’re considering a full-size pickup that delivers strength and everyday usability without sacrificing efficiency, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 impresses. With competitive fuel economy figures and a range of capable powertrains, this truck strikes a solid balance between performance and efficiency, whether you’re commuting to work in Virginia Beach or heading out on weekend adventures. At Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Norfolk, we show how the efficiency makes it a smart choice for drivers seeking capability and value.
Since the 2026 Silverado 1500 is available with 4 engines and 2 drivetrains, its efficiency will vary depending on the exact configuration you choose. For example, if you opt for a 2WD model, you can expect slightly more efficient drives around Chesapeake. Here are the EPA-estimated mpg ratings by trim level and drivetrain:
Regardless of which configuration you choose, you’ll have access to the Automatic Stop/Start feature that’ll help boost your efficiency on the streets of Suffolk. With this feature, your car’s engine will shut off automatically anytime you’re at a complete stop, or you have your foot on the brake pedal. When you remove your foot from the brake, the engine will restart on its own.
