Serious Upgrades Mean Serious Capabilities in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado
October 08 2019, St-Eustache Chevrolet
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is the strongest yet. Work trucks still come in the regular cab as well as double and crew cabs. Other trims include Custom, LT, RST, and LTZ. High Country adds luxury while the Custom and LT Trail boss editions offer serious adventure.
To make the Silverado stronger, the body has been completely redone. The tailgate and hood are made of lightweight aluminum. The bed is made of high-strength steel, and it’s bigger than before. For better fuel economy, engineers added functional aerodynamic features to help with airflow and rear downward force.
GM-exclusive CornerSteps are larger with more room for your boot. A new SideStep has been added which can help you access the bed more easily.
Great Choice of Engines in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado
EcoTec engineering helps the Silverado move heavier loads while using less fuel. For top hauling capability, you’ll want the 6.2-litre V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. If that’s a bit too much, you can step over to the 5.3-litre V8 which develops 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
New this year, Chevy's turbocharge four-cylinder engine balances frugal fuel use with outstanding power figures. It is rated for 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque. The basic V6 is still a formidable unit. Rated for 285 horsepower, it cranks out 305 lb-ft of torque.
The basic six-speed automatic transmission is mated to the V6 while the turbo four enjoys the help of an eight-speed automatic. The tough V8s are controlled by a HydraMatic ten-speed automatic.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Puts Passengers at Ease
When you check out the cabin, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover high quality materials. As you climb the trim ladder, each model becomes more refined. Leather seats can be power-heated or power-ventilated. The steering wheel offers automatic power-heat. Effective noise insulation quiets the ride, helping you forget that this is a powerful truck.
Technologies include vital systems such as automatic emergency braking and essential business tools such as available Wi-Fi. A large touch screen shows you images from the rear-view camera. Chevy infotainment includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming audio, and available GPS navigation.
