Silverado 1500 VINs decoded with it

The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

Where the 6.2L 8-cyl sits in the Silverado 1500 engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years recorded for it; the price is a reference across priced configurations, with each configuration weighted equally. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — overlapping years alone do not match the vehicles by age, trim, mileage or condition.

VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Silverado 1500 report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 6.2L 8-cyl Silverado 1500: common questions

Which Silverado 1500 years have the 6.2L 8-cyl?

2009–2026, without a break — 18 model years in our VIN decode, across 153 factory configurations and 206,345 VINs.

What does a 6.2L 8-cyl Silverado 1500 cost?

$36,198 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

L87 — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
