Here at Orielly Chevy of Tucson when spring makes its yearly appearance, trucks are one of the hottest topics of conversation. Camping trips at spots like Ash Creek, Sheep's Head, and Pinery Canyon Road are going to be gearing up for heavy traffic now, and being fully-equipped with a vehicle like the Silverado will set your weekend straight. The very rugged, able, and conquering 2019 Silverado was already shown to the public at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but a few questions were still left on the table. There were some loose ends in regards to the RST trim level, and it is now shown prominently in a few spy shots released to us this week.
One noticeable difference is between the body-colored grille: it now has gaps that have a much more narrow appearance in the center bars. Bumpers now have color within the body, and the fog lights have chrome guards that bear more resemblance to the grille's original stance. The tailgate possesses the Silverado's original swagger and style, but now also receives the awesome RST trim badge. The test truck pictured also sports a 4 x 4 sticker, making the announcement boldly of its four-wheel-drive capability. It's still possible that there will be a few more performance upgrades to the RST, within this trim that was first introduced on the Suburban and Tahoe.
We know how important it is to have a very reliable, sturdy, and long-lasting truck for daily duties, hauling, various chores around your property, or getting the trusty two-stroke toys for fun out to the lake. Reserving the lighter aluminum for construction of the hood, doors, and tailgate, the 2019 Silverado has made strides a bit unlike competitor Ford's F-150. The Ford features the use of aluminum into the construction of the cab itself, and our Silverado uses the lighter aluminum for construction of the doors, tailgate, and hood. Trimming weight while upping the size has made many trucks morph into the powerful devices we only dreamed of decades ago.
There are now 450 pounds trimmed from the 2019 crew-cab V8, compared to the previous year's model. This included removal from the frame of 88 pounds, and another 88 pounds taken from the body. The wheelbase is 3.9 inches longer than the current truck's, and 1.6 inches are added to the overall length. Passengers will be happy to learn that the legroom in the rear is up: it is now a total of 43.8 inches, up from 40.9 in the 2018 model. Every cab configuration for the 2019 gets a bed with almost 7 inches of extra width on the floor, as well as a brand-new power-operated tailgate. There is easy access for the tailgate with a button mounted right in the cabin, and you'll really be upping the ante on the spring excitement factor with a test drive. KBB.Com awarded the Silverado in the Top Ten for Best Resale Value for 2018, making a solid statement about long-term value, and all-important dollars and sense!
