For many years, the Chevrolet Silverado has been one of General Motor’s bestselling vehicles, and for good reason. This legendary full-size pickup truck has won the hearts of buyers and auto experts with its excellent performance, utility, reliability, and value for the money. For 2019, the Silverado receives significant modifications to stay ahead of its competitors, including a larger and lighter body, improved road manners, new safety features, and the addition of two new models. Find out why the 2019 Chevy Silverado is worth your consideration.
Outstanding Versatility
Whether you’re planning to use your new pickup truck for daily commuting or hauling passengers or heavy loads, you can get the job done with the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The Silverado is one of the most customizable trucks on the market. It comes in a wide range of trim levels and configurations to suit different purposes and budgets.
The 2019 Chevy Silverado lineup includes the basic Work Truck, the moderately well-equipped Custom and LT, the off-road-ready Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss, the performance-focused RST with sport and off-road packages, and the upscale LTZ and High Country. Each trim comes with its own unique styling and set of features. There are also three body styles and three bed lengths for you to choose from. With so many options, you can create a Silverado that perfectly meets your needs.
Impressive Performance
Another appealing aspect of the 2019 Chevy Silverado is its great engine lineup. It offers five engine options: the base 4.2-liter V-6 with 285 horsepower, a new 2.7-liter turbo-four with 310 horsepower, a 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower, a 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower, and a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel.
The standard and turbo-four engines provide enough power for most driving situations. If you need to do a lot of hauling or towing, opt for one of the V-8s. With its tough construction and potent powertrains, the Silverado delivers a maximum hauling capacity of almost 3,000 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of more than 12,000 pounds.
In addition, the Chevy Silverado handles surprisingly well for a vehicle of its size and weight. Changes to its suspension make its already smooth ride even smoother, while the weight reduction helps improve control. The truck rides comfortably even over rough surfaces, and its well-weighted and direct steering enables it to perform well on highways and twisty roads.
Good Fuel Economy
Despite its potent engines, the 2019 Chevy Silverado is more frugal than many of its rivals. Models with a V-6 engine get 16/21 mpg (city/highway) with two-wheel drive and 16/20 mpg with four-wheel drive. The smaller V-8 engine is rated at 17/23 mpg, while the larger V-8 delivers 16/20 mpg. The most fuel-efficient engine is the turbo-four, which earns 20/23 mpg with two-wheel drive and 19/22 mpg with four-wheel drive.
Following the major refresh, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado has become a well-rounded pickup truck with no significant flaws. If you want to know if this truck can meet your expectations, stop by for a test drive.
