General Motors and Chevrolet’s return to the medium-duty truck segment is fast approaching. The 2019 Silverado 4500HD, Silverado 5500HD, and Silverado 6500HD will mark the first time since the Chevrolet Kodiak that GM will offer Class 4, 5 and 6 medium-duty conventional cab segments.
For buyers eager to purchase a Chevy medium-duty pickup, the brand announced on Thursday that prices will start at $48,465 for a 4500HD chassis cab. Prices include a mandatory $1,495 destination fee, but exclude, tax, title and other dealer fees. Pricing for the entire medium-duty truck lineup can be found below:
The truck will feature a 6.6-liter L5D Duramax diesel engine making 350 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque, and customers will have the choice of Allison transmissions with a Power Take Off option. Chevy will offer both 2WD and 4WD as well.
Chevrolet also worked to ensure the Silverado medium-duty line provides ease of use for the task at hand. The frame is designed with one-piece straight rails sans rivets for easy installation of custom-made bodies, and the clamshell hood and wheel cut provide greater access to the engine than competitor trucks.
Notably, Chevy will offer a twin-tank for up to 65 gallons of fuel, factory-installed air suspension and a suite of connected-car technology, including a Wi-Fi hotspot and OnStar services.

I could see these being popular with landscapers, wonder if they’ll have a snow plow prep package or if plows can easily be added?
They need to also rework the 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engines to increase Both HP and Torque to at least 475HP & 975lbs/ft of Torque to take the lead against both Ford & Ram Trucks. GM needs to once again . . . Push the envelope & take charge!
