2019 Silverado Delivers More Power For Less Money

That’s right! For 2019 the Chevrolet Silverado LT will have a 2.7L Turbo engine producing 22% more torque than the outgoing 4.3L V6.

What does that equal in terms of cost? 700 big ones less, well, they’re probably regular sized dollars, but savings is savings. That figure is a maximum according to Chevy and based off the starting MSRP.

Power is not the only thing you’re getting more of for your dollar with the 2019, but it’s also being billed as, “larger, more capable, more fuel efficient.” Another big get for those looking for the factory upgrade is the Z71 package is now available across all models and includes the following features.

-Off-road tuned Rancho twin-tube shocks.
