Consider These Top 3 Features of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 features a new design, which means that it’s bigger, stronger, and lighter than ever before. The Silverado doesn’t only offer power and utility but is also a very versatile full-size pickup that can be configured according to your needs.

You can choose from eight trims with the Silverado: Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country. In addition, you can choose from three cab styles, namely a two-door regular cab, a four-door extended cab, and a crew cab, as well as a short, standard, or long bed. Here is some more information on this capable and versatile truck.

Exciting New Design

The newly-designed 2019 Silverado features doors, a tailgate, and a hood that are made from aluminum rather than steel, which means that even though the Silverado is longer and wider than its predecessors, it’s lighter.

Standard exterior features include 17-inch steel wheels, black recovery hooks, a CornerStep rear bumper, daytime running lights, a locking tailgate, and halogen headlamps. Higher trims add a wealth of features, such as front tow hooks, power-adjustable, auto-dimming, and heated mirrors, LED head- and taillights, LED fog lights, a dual exhaust, a power tailgate, and 20-inch chrome wheels.

With the Silverado comes a durable Durabed that’s constructed from high-strength roll-formed steel and features more cargo volume than any other bed in its class. It features twelve standard tie-downs and you can also opt for convenient features like a spray-on bedliner and cargo-bed LED lighting.

Excellent Performance

The Silverado boasts several different powertrains. The base engine is a 4.3-liter V-6 that’s paired with a six-speed automatic to make 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. Next in line, is a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic to produce 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque.

If you want more power, opt for the 5.3-liter V-8, which is either mated with a six-speed or an eight-speed automatic, and makes 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque; or the 6.2-liter V-8 that’s paired with a 10-speed automatic to produce 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. If your Silverado is equipped with the 5.3-liter V-8, you’ll be able to tow up to 9,400 pounds.

Those who like off-roading should opt for the Z71 off-road package that offers off-road suspension with Rancho shocks, hill-descent control, an automatic locking rear differential, skid plates, and all-terrain tires.

Versatile Interior

The cabin of the Silverado is spacious and can be kitted according to your needs. The Work Truck is fairly bare-bones, featuring air conditioning, a rear-vision camera, vinyl upholstery, and an infotainment system that comes with a 7-inch display, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, six speakers, and a USB port. The infotainment system can be upgraded with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, an 8-inch display, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, and HD radio.

You can configure your Silverado with various convenient available features that include heated and ventilated front seats, heated back seats, a wireless phone charger, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory, and a heated steering wheel.

The Silverado offers utility, excellent performance, versatility, and plenty of modern tech. If you want to take one for a spin, drop by Jim McKay Chevrolet.
