What Is New for 2026? A First Look at the Incoming Chevrolet Lineup at Herb Easley in Wichita Falls
New Trucks That Mean Business
Drivers hauling heavy loads across the Texoma region will find the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD equally ready, with serious powertrain options and upgraded technology in the heavy-duty category. One 2026 change worth knowing before you order: the Silverado HD range has been simplified, with some rear-wheel-drive configurations in mid and upper trims discontinued in favor of a stronger focus on four-wheel drive.
For those who want a mid-size option, the 2026 Colorado remains one of the most well-rounded trucks in its class, available in Z71 and ZR2 trims for buyers who want genuine off-road capability alongside everyday utility. Herb Easley Chevrolet carries a strong selection of all three trucks, making it easy to compare trims and find the right configuration without traveling to Dallas or Fort Worth.
SUV Updates for Families and Adventure Seekers
The 2026 Trax continues as the entry-level Chevrolet SUV, offering an athletic design and a tech-forward cabin at an accessible price point. Just above it, the 2026 Trailblazer makes a concrete step forward: the 11-inch diagonal touchscreen is now standard on every trim, including the base LS, paired with an 8-inch digital driver display. That makes it a strong choice for younger buyers and first-time SUV shoppers who do not want to climb trim levels for a usable screen.
The 2026 Equinox, one of the best-selling models in the lineup, delivers a refined interior with a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen, available driver assistance features, and a fuel-efficient powertrain. Families needing more room can step into the 2026 Traverse, which offers increased interior versatility and added safety technology across its trim lineup.
The gas-powered 2026 Blazer deserves a specific note. General Motors had originally planned to end production of the gasoline Blazer after 2025, then reversed course and brought it back for 2026 with a trimmed lineup of 2LT, 3LT, and RS after the Premier trim was dropped. Both engines carry over: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft, and a 3.6-liter V6 producing 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft. Here is the part that matters if you want one: production of the 2026 gas Blazer is scheduled to end September 30, 2026, dealer ordering has already closed, and no internal-combustion Blazer is expected for 2027, with a refreshed version arriving for 2028 instead. In other words, what is on the ground now is effectively what there is until that refresh, so it is worth asking us what we have rather than waiting.
Buyers looking at the full-size category have two strong options: the 2026 Tahoe and the 2026 Suburban. Both bring premium cabin options, strong towing ratings, and the kind of road presence that Wichita Falls drivers have relied on for years.
Electric and Performance Models Are Here
One difference worth knowing before you shop: General Motors has moved its electric vehicles to Google built-in and no longer offers Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on them. If phone projection is important to you, that is a genuine point of comparison between the gas and electric versions of the same nameplate, and it is worth spending a few minutes with the system in person before you decide either way. Our team can pull up both so you can compare them side by side.
On the performance side, the 2026 Corvette Stingray and Corvette E-Ray remain two of the most exciting vehicles on the market. Corvette allocation is limited, so contact us to check current availability if you want to experience American performance firsthand.
