Silverado throttles up with new engines

With eight trims paired with six engine/transmission combinations, even more customers will find a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tailored to their needs for performance, efficiency, technology and value.

Over half of the 2019 models will be equipped with the most advanced V-8s in the brand's history: updated versions of Chevrolet's proven 5.3L and 6.2L engines equipped with Dynamic Fuel Management featuring 17 different modes of cylinder deactivation.

An all-new, advanced 2.7L Turbo engine that replaces the 4.3L V-6 as the standard engine on the high-volume Silverado LT and new Silverado RST, is expected to offer 22 percent more torque, greater fuel efficiency and a stronger power-to-weight ratio than the current model.

Proven 4.3L V-6 and 5.3L V-8 engines deliver full-size truck capability and performance for the most affordable trucks in the Silverado lineup.

An all-new Duramax 3.0L inline-six turbo diesel will be available in early 2019.
