Chevrolet came into 2019 swinging, with their most advanced and powerful Silverado to date that can be found at a Chevy dealership in Oklahoma. Traditionally, Chevrolet has always boasted its ability to deliver vehicles with serious muscle, and their Silverado trucks are no exception. This recent addition to the Silverado family is bigger, lighter, and more powerful than those before it.

Let’s take a good look at the main features and specifications of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, such as the powertrain, trims, exterior and interior design, technology, and general perks.

Performance

The first thing on the minds of those considering buying a truck is power. How much horsepower, and what sort of technology can you expect with the 2019 Silverado 1500?

One benefit of the Silverado 1500 is the selection of powertrains available to choose from. There’s an engine for every job you could want and the amount of power you need:

• 6.2L V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management — 420 horsepower and 460 pounds per foot of torque, auto stopping and starting technology, and 10-speed automatic transmission. (Available on the LTZ and High Country models)
• 5.3L V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management — 355 horsepower and 383 pounds per foot of torque, auto stopping and starting technology, and 8-speed automatic transmission. (Standard on the LT Trail Boss, the LTZ and the High Country; available on the LT and RST)
• 4.3L V6 with Active Fuel Management — 285 horsepower and 305 pounds per foot of torque, and 6-speed automatic transmission. (Standard on the WT, Custom, and Custom Trail Boss)
• 2.7L Turbo with Active Fuel Management — 310 horsepower and 348 pounds per foot of torque, auto stopping and starting technology, and 8-speed automatic. (Standard on the LT and RST)

There’s also a drive mode selector, which adjusts the truck’s performance and tune it to the road you’re driving on, providing a smoother and safer ride. Some modes to choose from include tour, sport, tow/haul, terrain, snow/ice and off-road.

There is also the optional Z71 Off-Road Package, which adds features to the truck such as an automatic locking rear differential, a heavy-duty air filter, skid plates, an off-road suspension with Rancho shocks, hill descent control, and all-terrain tires.

This beast has a max payload of 2,250 pounds for the regular cab and max trailering of 12,200 pounds for the double cab. That’s why the Silverado is an excellent choice for towing and hauling.
