What a fantastic 4th of July it was in Tucson! Fireworks on “A” Mountain, the Diamonds in the Sky Celebration, and Oro Valley Celebration were just a few of the awesome events filled with fun and red-hot displays for the entire family. All of us here at O'rielly have always been proud to live in a location that has so much to offer during the 4th, and provides so many different ways to celebrate freedom. Now, as our attention focuses to other weekends you may have scheduled off for the hot days of summer, next year's truck models are going to have priority as one item you will have questions about. Chevy announced officially last week that the 2019 Silverado LT will be larger, more capable, fuel efficient, and will cost less: a true bargain!
There will be more interior and cargo room, higher payload and towing capacity, along with an all-new 2.7-liter turbo engine, producing 22 percent more torque than the 4.3-liter V6 it will replace, active aero shutters, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and stop-start technology. The High Country Trim level provides the very durable and powerful 5.3-liter V8 with brand new Dynamic Fuel Management, push-button start, stop-start technology, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Advanced Trailering System, and the well-honed dual exhaust outlets.
The Z71 Off-Road Package is now available on every single Silverado model, and standard if you opt for the desert-and-dune-ready Trail Boss model. You get to explore the most desolate and rugged of locations with a factory-installed 2-inch lift suspension, Rancho monotube shocks, and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac all-terrain tires. If you are encountering terrain that unmistakably requires slow goin' and extra care, Electric Hill Descent will be an asset that will alter your ride in a good way.
Next year's Silverado boasts larger sizes in just about every single way: the Silverado crew cab, short box has 1.2 inches more total width, 1.5 inches more total height, 1.7 inches more total length, and 3.9 inches more wheelbase. Added all together, this solidifies the creation of the largest cargo volume of any full-size truck in short-bed, standard-bed, and long-bed models. Coming in at a final 62.9 cubic feet, the Silverado short bed offers more cargo volume than the competent, yet still top competing version of Ford's menacing and hardlined F-150 pickup.
Even with its much larger existing footprint, the Silverado is up to 450 pounds lighter than the current model, due to use of mixed materials, and advanced manufacturing. For 2019, the 6.2-liter V8 is now exclusively offered with 4-wheel drive, and if you choose the Max Towing Package, produces a 12,200-pound towing rating. This is significantly up from 500 pounds from the similarly-equipped current year's model, and all of us on the lot here at O'rielly Chevy can assure that the 2019 Silverado will continue to sway buyers into ownership with class-superior strength, abundant features, and cargo capacity!
