Next-Gen Silverado Revealed
at Chevy Truck Centennial Event
All-new
2019 Silverado builds on 100 years of Chevy Truck expertise
DALLAS — The
past and future met today with the introduction of the next-generation
Chevrolet Silverado at an event celebrating the first 100 years of Chevy Trucks.
Many in attendance were Chevy Truck Legends
members, some of the brand’s most passionate owners.
“Our owners’ passion for Chevrolet trucks is truly humbling,” said Alan
Batey, president of GM North America, and global head of Chevrolet. “Many of
our owners depend on their trucks for work and play, personalize their trucks
in astonishing ways and pass their loyalty for Chevy Trucks down from
generation to generation.
“For the Chevy Truck Centennial, we wanted to recognize the customers who
have made Chevrolet part of their lives, and have them help kick off the next
100 years of Chevy Trucks.”
The 2019 Silverado 1500 is all new from the ground up and leverages Chevrolet’s
experience building more than 85 million dependable, long-lasting pickups. It
also reflects feedback from more than 7,000 people on what they wanted in their
next truck — the most customer research in the company’s history.
The 2019 Silverado’s strong, modern design advances
Chevrolet’s history of industry-leading pickup design. It’s a legacy built on
decades of experience with models such as the Advance Design trucks of the
1950s and the C/K series of the 1960s. Those trucks set the standard for pickup
design in their eras, and currently are some of the most coveted vintage trucks
on the market. The next-generation Silverado is poised to change the face of
trucks again, with a breakthrough design that is unmistakably Chevrolet.
The new Silverado also delivers improved
capability and performance. For example, a higher-grade alloy is used in the roll-formed,
high-strength-steel bed floor, contributing to a bed that is more functional
and lighter weight. This use of mixed materials and advanced manufacturing is
evident throughout the Silverado, resulting in a significant reduction in total
vehicle weight and improved performance in many measures.
As no two truck customers are alike, the
next-gen Silverado will offer an expanded range of models, more
engine/transmission combinations and more technology and convenience features
to help customers find their ideal truck.
The new Silverado LT Trailboss is one of eight
2019 Silverado models. It integrates the off-road equipment of the Z71 package
as well as a two-inch suspension lift. Unlike aftermarket lift kits, the
Trailboss suspension is fully tested, validated and warrantied by Chevrolet.
The 2019 Silverado will make its public debut in January at the North
American International Auto Show in Detroit, exactly 100 years after the first
Chevrolet trucks were delivered to customers.
