Some forbidden fruit "trucks". This is the all new Silverado. (No interior pics out yet)

Chevrolet Silverado

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is all new from the ground up and leverages Chevrolet's experience building more than 85 million dependable, long-lasting pickups. It also reflects feedback from more than 7,000 people on what they wanted in their next truck - the most customer research in the company's history.

The 2019 Silverado's strong, modern design advances Chevrolet's history of industry-leading pickup design. It's a legacy built on decades of experience with models such as the Advance Design trucks of the 1950s and the C/K series of the 1960s. Those trucks set the standard for pickup design in their eras, and currently are some of the most coveted vintage trucks on the market. The next-generation Chevrolet Silverado is poised to change the face of trucks again, with a breakthrough design that is unmistakably Chevrolet.

The new Silverado also delivers improved capability and performance. For example, a higher-grade alloy is used in the roll-formed, high-strength-steel bed floor, contributing to a bed that is more functional and lighter weight. This use of mixed materials and advanced manufacturing is evident throughout the Chevrolet Silverado, resulting in a significant reduction in total vehicle weight and improved performance in many measures.

As no two truck customers are alike, the next-gen Chevy Silverado will offer an expanded range of models, more engine/transmission combinations and more technology and convenience features to help customers find their ideal truck.

The new Chevrolet Silverado LT Trailboss is one of eight 2019 Silverado models. It integrates the off-road equipment of the Z71 package as well as a two-inch suspension lift. Unlike aftermarket lift kits, the Trailboss suspension is fully tested, validated and warrantied by Chevrolet.

Forbidden fruit: This is Chevrolet’s new big bakkie

General Motors’ best selling model, and cash cow of note, has been given a complete redesign in a fresh challenge to Ford’s F150, which outsells it on the US market.

Chevrolet’s left-hand-drive-only Silverado range has only ever been a fantasy to South African bakkie fans and now that GM has pulled out of our market, the chances of this new one reaching our shores has gone from slim to none.

Let’s take a look at what we’re missing out on.

According to Chevrolet, the 2019 Silverado has been completely redesigned from the ground up and boasts a muscular new design with more prominent sheetmetal creasing.

Interestingly Chevrolet has not followed Ford in making extensive use of aluminium, but the company does claim to have achieved a significant (although as yet unspecified) weight reduction through a mixture of materials and construction techniques.

The American carmaker has yet to disclose the engine line-up - that will likely happen at the Detroit show in January. For the record, the current Silverado offers a range of V6 and V8 petrol engines, culminating in a 313kW 6.2-litre powerhouse. The new one is likely to offer a fair share of V8s, but perhaps also alongside a downsized turbocharged alternative.

The new Silverado will be offered in eight different trim flavours, and what you see in the pictures is the LT Trailboss version, which includes the Z71 off-road kit and a two-inch suspension lift.
