Chevrolet unveils 2019 Silverado LT features

DETROIT — The Chevrolet 2019 Silverado LT will feature a larger design, more capability and better fuel efficiency.

“The next-gen Silverado continues that tradition, offering more interior and cargo room, higher towing and payload capabilities and a lower starting at MSRP on our highest volume model,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet.

The 2019 Silverado LT crew cab has a starting at MSRP $700 less than today’s truck, with new standard equipment including a 2.7-liter Turbo engine with 22 percent more torque than the 4.3-liter V-6 it replaces, an eight-speed automatic transmission, stop-start technology and active aero shutters.

The upscale and comprehensively equipped High Country also introduces a host of new standard equipment, including the 5.3-liter V-8 with new Dynamic Fuel Management, push-button start, stop-start technology, active aero shutter, lane change alert, side blind zone alert, advanced trailering system, enhanced LED exterior lighting, dual exhaust outlets and class-exclusive power up/down tailgate, as well as a starting at MSRP increase of $1,000.

Other available equipment introduced on the 2019 Silverado include the following:

• Z71 Off-Road Equipment Package, which includes off-road tuned Rancho twin-tube shocks; electronic hill descent control; two-speed transfer case and automatic locking rear differential; skid plates for engine oil pan and transfer-case protection; heavy-duty air filter; and dual exhaust outlets for models equipped with V-8 engines.

• Advanced, active-safety features such as lane change alert with side blind zone alert; front and rear park assist; rear cross traffic alert; forward collision alert and following distance indicator; low-speed forward automatic braking; front pedestrian braking; lane keep assist with lane departure warning; safety alert seat; and IntelliBeam headlamps.

• Advanced technology features such as GM’s 3-inch x 7-inch configurable color head-up display; 8-inch configurable driver information center; surround vision; and rear camera mirror.

The next-gen Silverado is also larger than the outgoing model in all dimensions. The crew cab’s short box has 1.2 inches more total width, 1.5 inches more total height, 1.7 inches more total length and 3.9 inches more wheelbase. Despite the larger footprint, the Silverado is up to 450 pounds lighter than the outgoing truck models, due to advanced manufacturing and the use of mixed materials.

The 2019 Silverado lineup offers six engine/transmission combinations that give customers different combinations of performance and efficiency.
