The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST upgrades the LT with body-color bumpers and available 20-inch high-gloss wheels. The traditional LT trim remains ideal for buyers wanting classic chrome exterior accents and standard capability. Discover which exterior styling matches your preferences by browsing our live New Chevrolet Silverado 1500 inventory.

Choosing between the LT and the RST is primarily a decision about exterior design and curb appeal. For buyers in Austin who need a capable and comfortable daily driver, the LT delivers an iconic truck appearance. It features chrome bumpers, a chrome grille bar, and a highly advanced interior with a standard 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen. Both trims are powered by the standard 2.7L TurboMax engine which delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque when properly equipped.

The RST transitions the truck into a street-performance aesthetic. Chevrolet removes the brightwork in favor of body-color bumpers, center grille bars, and door handles. It also unlocks access to larger, aggressive wheel designs for drivers who want their truck to stand out on Mower County roads.
