Leasing a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in Metro Detroit

A Silverado 1500 lease is really two decisions stacked together: which truck fits the job, and how the payment behind it is built. Get both right and the monthly number takes care of itself. At Gordon Chevrolet, the price you start from is never a moving target, because every Silverado carries its True Advertised Price: Real Prices, Real Payments, No hidden Fees. Lease programs change month to month, so you will not find a here-today number on this page. Instead, it lays out the trucks, the trims, and the levers so you can judge a Silverado lease for yourself.

What You're Leasing

The 2026 Silverado 1500 leases well because it covers a lot of ground from one cab. Four engines make up the lineup: the 2.7L TurboMax turbo four, the 5.3L and 6.2L V8s, and the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. That diesel is EPA-estimated at 28 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive and 25 with 4WD, rare economy for a full-size truck and money kept in your pocket across a lease. Properly equipped, the Silverado tows up to 13,300 pounds and carries up to 2,260 pounds of payload, and the Duramax delivers up to 495 lb-ft of torque, so the truck you lease can match the job rather than just look the part.

What you're leasing with the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Spec 2026 Silverado 1500
Engines 2.7L TurboMax turbo-4, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, 3.0L Duramax diesel
Max towing Up to 13,300 lbs, properly equipped
Max payload Up to 2,260 lbs, properly equipped
Diesel torque Up to 495 lb-ft (3.0L Duramax)
Diesel economy Up to 28 mpg hwy rear-wheel drive, 25 with 4WD, EPA-estimated

Those towing and payload figures are maximums for the right configuration, not every truck, so match the engine and trailering setup to your load.

The Trim Ladder

Nine trims set the starting point for a Silverado lease, and the launch MSRP is what the payment is built on, so it is the figure to compare. They sort into four groups:

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim ladder
Group Trims (MSRP at launch) Who it fits
Work WT $36,900, Custom $42,400 Job-site basics and fleet value
Mainstream LT $47,900, RST $51,300, LTZ $58,000 Daily-driver trucks up to near-luxury
Off-road Custom Trail Boss $52,900, LT Trail Boss $59,700, ZR2 $71,800 Lifted suspension and terrain hardware
Luxury High Country $62,900 The loaded top trim

MSRP at launch for the 2026 model year, excluding destination. Current pricing varies by configuration and program.

Which trim to lease: WT for the lowest payment on work-truck basics, LT for the best daily-driver value, LTZ or High Country for comfort, and Trail Boss or ZR2 once you actually use the off-road hardware.

For most lease shoppers the LT is the value center: it carries the volume equipment without paying the off-road or luxury premium. The WT keeps the payment lowest if you mainly need the bed and the powertrain, while the Trail Boss trims and the ZR2 add the off-road hardware and the High Country adds the comfort.

How a Silverado Lease Works

Three levers set a Silverado lease payment, and a truck adds one wrinkle a car does not: how hard you use it. A lease bills you for the slice of the MSRP you use over the term, plus a finance charge, so the same Silverado can land at very different payments depending on how you set these:

How a Chevrolet Silverado lease works
Lever What it does to the payment
Term More months lower the monthly figure but keep you paying longer.
Annual miles The payment is set against a mileage cap, often 10,000 to 15,000 a year. A truck that runs job sites and the freeway can pass a low cap fast, and the per-mile overage at lease-end is where that bites.
Money down More at signing lowers the monthly payment; less keeps cash in hand at a higher monthly figure.

Every one of those levers works off the same starting figure: the True Advertised Price, which holds steady from the ad to the desk. Two truck-specific notes sit on top of that. If the Silverado earns its keep, size the mileage cap to the miles it will actually run before you sign, because the per-mile overage at lease-end is hard to walk back. And if you run the Duramax, its highway economy quietly offsets fuel over a three-year term, which can weigh as much as the payment itself. Programs and incentives shift constantly, so run your own term, miles, and money down through our payment calculator to see where the payment lands before you bring it to a firm quote.

Current Lease Deals

Current Chevrolet Silverado 1500 lease deals at Gordon Chevrolet

A printed lease deal goes stale within the month, so we keep the live ones on our Chevrolet special offers hub rather than on this page. Check the hub for what is running now, line up the trim you want in the Silverado 1500 inventory, and if you are rolling out of your current truck, value your trade first so it can offset the money down. Want to see the lineup in person? Here are our directions and hours. For a payment built around your miles, your trade, and the program you qualify for, ask our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the trim, the term, your annual miles, and the money down, so there is no single number. The 2026 Silverado starts at $36,900 MSRP at launch for the WT, and the payment builds on the MSRP of the trim you pick plus the current program. The exact figure is the one we quote for your terms, so it does not drift between the ad and the desk.

Start with what the truck is for. If it is mostly work and the lowest payment, the WT covers the bed and the powertrain; if it is a daily driver, the LT adds the volume equipment most people want without the premium of the upper trims. From there, LTZ and High Country buy comfort, and the Trail Boss trims and the ZR2 buy off-road capability you only need if you use it.

Yes, and the work-truck trims, the WT and Custom, are built for it. The thing to get right on a work lease is the mileage cap: a truck that runs job sites and the freeway can pass a low cap fast, and the per-mile overage adds up. Size the cap to how the truck gets used and the lease stays predictable.

It can. The 3.0L Duramax is EPA-estimated at 28 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive, and 25 with 4WD, which is high for a full-size truck either way, so over a three-year lease it trims fuel cost steadily, and it makes up to 495 lb-ft of torque for towing. In Michigan winters most Silverados are specced with 4WD, and even there the Duramax stays well ahead of the V8s on the highway, so the running-cost case holds for the trucks most people here lease.

If towing is the reason you are leasing, the spec matters more than the trim. The Silverado 1500 is rated to tow up to 13,300 pounds and carry up to 2,260 pounds of payload when it is properly equipped, so the engine and the trailering package, not the badge on the tailgate, set the number. Match them to your load before you lease.
