Chevrolet’s next-generation Silverado has been unveiled 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.
GM is planning to import and convert the big American utility to right hand drive next year with the help of HSV.
The 2019 Silverado 1500 is all new from the ground up and reflects feedback from more than 7000 people, the most customer research in the company’s history.
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.
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, 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 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 Detroit motor show, exactly 100 years after the first Chevrolet trucks were delivered to customers.
