Chevrolet Unveils 2019 Silverado Pickup — Expected 2019 Truck Wars

The next year has caused much controversy as the “battle of the pickup trucks” commences. Ford is expected to released their new F-150, GMC with their new Sierra and Chevrolet with their brand new 2019 Silverado. 

Putting the fear into Ford’s F-150 camp is Chevrolet’s all-new 2019 Silverado which will meet and/or beat the F-150’s fuel economy, towing capacity and features without expensive aluminum. 

Silverado is General Motors’ best-selling model and routinely the second best-selling vehicle in the United States. It’s also a fierce competitor for Ford’s signature vehicle, the F-150 pickup, the No. 1 seller.

But automakers are under pressure to boost gas mileage, which can lead to finding ways to lighten vehicles without sacrificing capability.

But Chevy used Ford’s switch to attack the F-150 in comparison ads, saying heavy, sharp objects would put holes through the aluminum truck bed while only denting the Silverado. Now, in again embracing steel for the new truck, that strategy is not likely to change with the new 2019 Silverado.

Right alongside efficiency and practicality is good looks, who can deny? The new Silverado was given a pair of narrow, high-mounted headlights that give it a more steely, squinty expression. The grille is big and bold, with a double black crossbar and smaller horizontal chrome bars. LED running lights reach down to indicators new the bottom of the grille. The rear bumper features inset steps for access to the bed and has “Chevrolet” stamped across it. Twin chrome tailpipes are inset in to the black rear bumper of the Z71 crew cab model. 

GM says it surveyed more than 7,000 Chevy truck owners about features for the new model, which is expected to go on sale in the second half of 2018, so keep an eye out Jessup customers! 

Chevy unveiled the 2019 Silverado at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth at an event to celebrate the centennial of its first truck. “Our owners’ passion for Chevrolet trucks is truly humbling,” said Alan Batey president of GM North America, and global head of Chevrolet.
