2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 first view

Visitors to yesterday’s Chevy Truck Centennial event held at the Texas Motor Speedway were treated to a first public appearance by the 2019 Silverado.

They got to see an LT Trailboss version, which arrived slung beneath a helicopter. It’ll be one of eight available trim grades that are going to be offered in conjunction with a larger variety of powertrain combinations.

While the all-new 2019 model is still recognisably a Silverado, there are two key styling changes. Firstly, the wheel arches no longer have a squared-off profile. Secondly, a diagonal swage line has appeared that runs downwards from the front fender into the door – at first glance it’s somewhat jarring (although the visual effect might work better in the metal).

At this stage, Chevrolet hasn’t published any photographs of the interior. Similarly, technical specifications are unknown, but advanced materials and manufacturing techniques are claimed to have significantly reduced the vehicle’s overall weight.

Full details should be revealed at next month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where the 2019 Silverado 1500 is due to be properly launched.
