2019 Silverado 2500HD And 3500HD: What’s New

The current, K2-generation Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty family is nearing the end of its lifecycle. In fact, the present model will be replaced by the all-new 2020 Silverado HD for the 2020 model year. So for its last year on the market, the 2019 Silverado HD family is getting a handful of minor changes.

Before we get started, let’s identify the models that make up the 2019 Silverado HD family:

  • Three-quarter ton models:
    • 2019 Silverado 2500HD
    • 2019 Silverado 2500HD Fleet
  • One-ton models:
    • 2019 Silverado 3500HD
    • 2019 Silverado 3500HD Fleet
    • 2019 Silverado 3500HD Chassis Cab (CC)

With that out of the way, let’s delve into what’s new for the 2019 Silverado HD lineup.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD - John Deere Drive 015

Cab Deletions

Arguably the biggest change is the discontinuation of Regular Cab configurations, as well as the deletion of the Double Cab Standard Box 4WD model.

Exterior Items

On the outside, the entire 2019 Silverado HD truck family get a new Mosaic Black Metallic exterior color along with a new chrome grille with a chrome mesh insert on WT and LT models.

Buildout Edition (aka Silverado HD Tribute Edition)

Lastly, the 2019 Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD (excluding the 3500HD CC) get a new Buildout Edition. Also known as Silverado HD Tribute Edition, the package is only available on the LTZ (1LZ) trim level and includes the following features:

  • Unique decals (flag inspired fender, door and pickup box)
  • Z71 front door badge
  • Front and rear Black bowties
  • Chrome lower skid plate
  • Spray-on bedliner
  • Z71 pickup box decal delete
  • Front and Rear Park Assist

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all that’s new for the 2019 Silverado HD – as Chevrolet preps the all-new model for the 2020 model year.

    1. Well, the good thing is that the Regular Cab HD setup will be returning for the 2020 Model Year, despite the Crew Cab craze these days, Regular Cab buyers won’t be left in the dark once the redesigned trucks arrive sometime by next year.

    2. This is still the old body style. They’ve cut down on configurations just as they did for the 2014 model year (which had no extended cabs) before they make the bodystyle change. 2020 model year is the all new HD.

  3. Will the current HD truck be made alongside the new one like with the 1500s?!?!

    1. I don’t recall seeing any information on Joint Manufacturing for the 2019 and 2020 HD models, if not for personal buyers, wouldn’t be surprised if that procedure continues on for Fleet Buyers who still could get the HD Trucks for their businesses at bargain prices, we’ll know in due time if this will happen for both type buyers I guess.

  4. “Arguably the biggest change is the discontinuation of Regular Cab configurations, as well as the deletion of the Double Cab Standard Box 4WD model.”

    It looks like GM has deleted the 2WD standard box (6.5′) and not the 4WD.

    CK25753 is a 4WD 6.5′ bed. The 2nd character “K” denotes 4WD while the 4th character “7” denotes bed length. 7 is 6.5′ and 9 is 8′.

    I have also verified this in GM’s ordering system.

  6. I know it’s been a while since this article was written, but I am hoping someone can shed some light on a matter I noticed.

    In the “Available 2019 Silverado 2500HD Body Styles:” it lists the Double Cab – Long Box – 4WD .. TWICE. Once with the (CK25753) designation and once again with the (CK25953) designation.

    How can they both be called the same thing while having a different numerical designation?? Thanks.
