Three 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra snuck out of General Motors facilities to stretch their legs, and spy photographers were on hand capture the pickups.
Like before, it’s difficult to state what’s actually hiding under the bulky camouflage, which still uses pseudo-Ford F-150 elements to try and hide. As always, we can speculate on what’s to come, though.
Previous spy shots lend the next-generation pickups to be more of an evolution than revolution in the design department. Interior shots have shown a pretty similar center stack setup to the current trucks, though an all-digital gauge cluster may be hiding. Instead, the major improvements will be under the skin.
We can expect updated powertrains and the inclusion of the GM-Ford co-developed 10-speed automatic to make its debut for the 2019 Silverado and Sierra. Additionally, expect aluminum to make up more of the truck, even though Chevrolet is keen to poke fun at Ford’s extensive use of the material.
The trucks may debut as early as next year before going on sale for the 2019 model year, so watch this space as we’ll likely continue to see more from the next-gen, full-size pickup soon.

The one thing that Chevy Engineers keep missing is the fact that you cannot put on bigger tires and the front suspensions are for s**t! It would be nice if there’s some sort of adjustability. Personally trucks should never have a rake on the front…they should be level.
Oh… and put in better seats!!!
Trucks will never be level from the factory as some people want to put weight in them and use them as a truck. Full air suspension is problematic too, but the air shocks for load leveling are an ok option.
Personally like the rake and not the “brah it’s leveled” look.
Looks like they may have a little better ground clearance which is needed. Hopefully the fuel tank will be bigger in the short box trucks too.
Does anyone else see a little bit Esclade DNA in the grill?
It would be nice if they’d change the rear suspension on the 1500’s so it wouldn’t squat so bad in rear when you hook to a trailer. Gm worries about the ride quality instead of bein able to pull trailers or whatever without the rear end squatin so bad. They also need a rear stabilizer bar on the 1500’s and 2500’s,3500’s and put a solid front axle on the heavy duty’s. I’ve been a gm man for 40plus years and seems every year they keep dropping the ball
