Pickup fans have always loved the Chevrolet Silverado. For 20 years, this full-size truck has been one of the most dependable on the market. Truck lovers all over the country are eagerly anticipating the new revision, and for good reason the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is shaping up to be a real treat.
Eight Different Trims
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado might be a few months away, but you can already get a sneak peek at the eight different trims that will be available. These are the High Country, LTZ, LT Trail Boss, RST, LT, Custom Trail Boss, Custom, and WT models.
While even the base trim will be a fully capable, incredibly robust pickup with best-in-class cargo box volume, the higher levels of trim will up the ante with additional features. These will range from extra off-road equipment, such as a two-inch suspension lift, to cosmetic styling, such as chrome accents and body-color styling themes.
Redesigned for 2019
You won’t mistake the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado for any other pickup, but you’re also sure to notice some tweaks to the truck’s design. The manufacturer has introduced a bolder bumper, thinner headlights, and more aerodynamic body sculpting when compared to last year’s model.
The truck itself is also constructed from mixed materials, including 80 percent high-strength steel, which allows it to weigh in at about 450 pounds lighter than the 2018 Silverado. Despite this lower weight, the truck is actually longer than the previous design, which means that it affords more room to accommodate passengers and cargo.
Engine Choices
Depending on which trim you choose, you’ll get one of two engines in the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The first is a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The second engine is a bit more powerful; it’s a 6.2-liter V8 that can generate up to 425 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.
These engines should result in similar performance to the 2018 model, but they should offer greater fuel efficiency as a result of Chevrolet’s automatic engine start/stop technology. Chevrolet has also suggested that additional powertrain options might be revealed later this year, including a hybrid option to reduce your impact on the environment.
Availability and Pricing
If you’re just as eager as we are to get your hands on the 2019 Chevy Silverado, rest assured that you won’t have to wait very long. Chevrolet has indicated they plan to make the pickup available in late 2018.
The manufacturer has yet to announce any pricing details, but industry experts expect to see the base trim starting at an MSRP of around $29,000. The highest levels of trim may cost between $60,000 and $70,000. Naturally, you’ll be able to check out the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado right here at Bob Ruwart Motors as soon as it becomes available.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is sure to be a hit with truck enthusiasts everywhere. As the new pickup’s release date gets closer, we expect to see even more exciting details revealed.
