In addition to Ram, Chevrolet also has an all-new pickup truck for the 2019 model year. The fifth-generation Silverado prepares to arrive at U.S. dealerships this fall, with the Work Truck priced at $29,795 excluding destination charge.
The WT comes standard with the 4.3-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission, but customers can also level up to the 5.3-liter V8. Regarding output, the six-cylinder has 285 horsepower and 308 pound-feet to offer while the eight-cylinder develops 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.
As for the remaining engine options, the list continues with the 2.7-liter Tripower turbocharged four-cylinder with 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. This lump, as well as the Dynamic Fuel Management-equipped 5.3-liter V8, are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
At the very top of the range, the 6.2-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management and 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six turbo diesel come with the 10-speed automatic transmission found on various Ford models, including the F-150 pickup truck.
Even though there’s no information available for the Duramax, Chevrolet released a table with the capabilities of the all-new Silverado. In regard to maximum payload, the entry-level engine takes the crown with 2,500 pounds. As for maximum towing capacity, you’re better off with the 6.2-liter V8 (12,200 pounds).
Fuel economy, you ask? EPA figures have been released for the 5.3- and 6.2-liter V8 options so far, with the 5.3 DFM claimed to return 17 miles per gallon city, 23 highway, and 19 on the combined cycle.
“For more than 100 years, Chevrolet has developed a reputation for building trucks that offer incredible performance, capability, and value,” declared Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet. “The next-gen Silverado continues that tradition — offering more interior and cargo room, higher towing and payload capabilities and a lower starting at MSRP on our highest volume model.”
There are three body styles to choose from, starting with the Regular Cab Long Bed and continuing with the Double Cab Standard Bed and Crew Cab Short Bed. The most expensive configuration at the present moment is the High Country Crew Cab Short Bed, retailing at $54,495.
