Chevrolet Unveils the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado

That. Is. Tasty!

Can't quite get a 3-D impression of what's going on in those front corners... or of the contour on the front fender. Eager to see more pics, esp of lower-line trims. This'll be every bit of a $50K sticker, yes?

*falls over* 

The light cluster corners have those odd tabs like the Tahoe/Suburban, but different.   The current model only had a 5 yr run, pretty short compared to past GM pickups.  I still like the '14-15 Silvi front better than the busier fronts since then. 

CHEVROLET embossed in the tailgate makes me fall in love.  Also the Trail Boss is a Rebel killer.  Love the idea of a friendlier, but still badass off-road package v. the Raptor.  I will never be able to afford one.  Sigh.  Regular cab shortbed Trail Boss in Deepwoods Green or Kinetic Blue would get my rocks off so bad.

Why is Ford and Chevy creating these ugly trucks?

Its bad enough that Nissan's and Toyota's full sized offerings are ugly as sin. (with Toyota's mid-sized offering being uglier than that still...)

There is no need for  Ford and Chevy to over style these. There is no need to go overboard with the machismo.

Spoken like a true Justin Trudeau constituent. 

It's better than the current one... But I think I'll wait for the GMC.

I like they fixed the headlight clusters.  Thank God!  The new Silverado looks great. I can't wait to see the GMC Sierra.  Is it just me but don't some of the lines remind you of Ford F150?  I also think the front end reminds me of past successful Silverados like the 1988 to 2002 Silverados.  It is aggressive looking too as well. Great to see.

Sure...why the hell not???!!!

Shyte...Id be a George W. Bush Jr. constituent had the F Series pick-up been as attractive as it was back in the day...

Its sad though...that the most macho-est truck out there with the most intimidating motorvation ever is a decade old and never coming back...

These new Chevys and Fords though...

I too, hope the GMC version is nicer.  It usually is.

At least  that is how it  was for the last couple of generations. 

very nice  i might even be intersted in a pickup finally.  really love the badass front end and fenderlines on the front.

I am surprised there isn't a Ram Hellcat out now...would be so perfectly over the top... 

That truck is on point. GMC one is gonna rock it.. and I'm seriously interested in what kinda spawn will come from them in the form of Escalade, Yukon, and Tahoe

I look forward to pics from the updated interior...... as well as the return of the single cab, short bed S-10.

Well, it does finally look like a new Silverado for a new incoming decade. At first I thought that Chevy was going away from the current planted to the road look of the current Silvy, but then I remembered that this is the Z71 Trailboss.

Good luck with carbon fibre beds, because if that's true, and they're using high modulus stuff, they must have figured out a way to make it compliant at the same time. Probably that bed option will be only for LTZ and High Country trims, but I think the weight savings of going that route will be inconsequential. A better place for CF is the roof or hood, out of harms and reality as well as disappointment's way if Chevy made another stupid concrete block commercial without bed liners. Plus using it on roof and hood would actually lower the center of gravity, help handling....

Glad to see the rounded fender arches, honestly, seeing the frame and other under-body innards on the current gen - especially if you didn't opt for the wheel arch covers factory or aftermarket - looked so cheap or like as if something had taken a bite off out of the fenders.

GM will increase its use of mixed materials

a) "we had to rush this out because our stuff is bad compared to Ford and RAM"
or
b) "our brilliant marketing team has completely hamstrung our engineering department's ability to make anything class leading anymore"

Silverado front end brought to you by Nissan's designers. It's got dimples!

Don't like the Trailblazer Trailboss front end, maybe I'll like it better with a body color fascia.

Neither. Using mixed materials was a technical breakthrough that first showed on the CT6. It doesn't always pay off to use aluminum on every part of the body. High strength steel, ultra high strength steel, and Aluminum each have different properties.  

On the CT6 the found they might save 5 pounds switching a body component to aluminum, but then they needed 8 pounds of sound deadening due to the different acoustic properties of aluminum.

They built an entire technology around using mixed materials.... It wasn't some phoned in thing.

Let me just say its about time they figured this out,

Now, on to the interior of the truck.  I hope they got rid of the brown eye popping out a stereo.

Ewwww

For those who weren't alive then, compare this to the new 2019 and you will see what Chevrolet did there.  Clear lineage, strong and good.

I guess you forgot the RAM TRX with the Hellcat motor. LOL  If there is market for it, then year

Interesting...hadn't heard of that concept...I was thinking of something more like an SRT style Ram Hellcat, not off road style.

Cool Concept Truck, which we never heard of as they revealed it at the Texas State Fair. 

How many people go to state fairs except in narrow minded ultra conservative tell the wife to sit in the back seat state of texas.  Yea Texas can be it's own country.

Ram Rebel TRX Concept is a pretty cool ride! :meatl:

So is this Rebel gonna try to raise the south again?

It's a Texas thing, I guess..kind of it's own world down there...State Fairs seem like something the rural folk go to.   I know over the last 10 years or so, lots of new pickups and concepts have been revealed at the Texas State Fair....

Yes, I would agree with you.

In regards to this new Chevy, totally on the fence as the front end I honestly do not like. I hope and have high expectations for the GMC version.

As far as the new Chevy, I guess I want to see more trims before I can make an opinion of it..I don't care for blackout or body color trim, so I'm curious what a regular version with chrome front trim look like..an LTZ maybe. It's hard to tell the how the light clusters wrap the corners from that photo..are they flat or rounded?

The color tabs rounding into the front under the new LED headlights, Not a fan of this Roman or is it greek warrior helmet look. Never cared for it even when they did it big using the bumper. Just looks weird to me.

Agree, need to see this in more trims, but unlike your like of Chrome, I like my auto's to be monochromatic. Less Chrome is more. Leave chrome for the center grill and rims in my opinion.

The current generation of Tahoe/Suburban has the fender tabs, thought it looked weird when it first came out, but it's ok depending on the color, IMO.  I like when automakers have different trims with chrome or monochrome or blackout...choice is good.   

I don't know what the F*** is going on with the front end but it looks terrible. 

The tailgate/rear looks fantastic though.

I don't understand what is so confusing about that. What's with that thing popping out?  Is it giving birth or something,

I am totally afraid the GMC Sierra will have boomerang lights and that would be a travesty.

I have to say, that is very polarizing, but I kinda like it way better than the Chevy!

Better than the Chevy but worse than their current Sierra. 

That's also just some rendering, right? That's not official? 

Truck looks great here. Will be interesting to see the other trims, and of course what the GMC looks like. But it's promising.
