Chevrolet began delivering the first units of the all-new 2019 Silverado in August. Production and sales volume of the all-new models are ramping up, but dealers still have quite a few units of the last-generation 2018 model on hand, while also continuing to produce the last-gen K2 Silverado in a single configuration.
So in what we image is an effort to clear out remaining inventory of the 2018 models, the Bow Tie brand has introduced a rather attractive October 2018 incentive offer for the Silverado 1500.
The Incentive
The nationwide Chevrolet incentive on the 2018 Silverado is $7,250 customer cash plus a $3,000 price reduction and a $750 option package discount when financing with GM Financial.
Based on a $50,940 MSRP, the $11,000Â incentive equates to a discount of over 20 percent.
This offer is only applicable to 2018 Silverado Crew Cab models equipped with the All Star Edition package, which adds an additional $2,275 to the truck (before the aforementioned discounts) and includes following features:
- Driver 10-way power seat adjuster with bench seat only
- Dual-zone climate control
- Remote Vehicle Starter system
- Rear-window defogger
- Manual tilt and telescopic steering column
- 110-volt power outlet
Shoppers should also note that some customers may not qualify for this offer, and that it is not available with special finance, lease, and some other offers.
Disclaimers
- Must take delivery by October 31, 2018.
- See dealer for details.
- Incentive for the United States of America, unless otherwise specified.
We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the vehicles and their incentives in question, but errors and misprints can happen. In addition, the manufacturer can change incentive information at any time and without notice. Always consult with your dealer regarding color availability information before making purchase decisions. GM Authority will not be held responsible for any misprints, typos or any other errors.

About Chevrolet Silverado
The Chevrolet Silverado is a lineup of full-size pickup trucks sold primarily in North America, but also in the Middle East and in certain markets in South America. Slotting above the mid-size Chevrolet Colorado (known as the S10 in some markets), the Silverado is Chevrolet's largest pickup truck and currently consists of the 1500 light duty model, two Heavy Duty models - the 2500HD and 3500HD, as well as Conventional Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 Medium Duty models - the Silverado 4500HD and Silverado 5500HD and Silverado 6500HD.
The 2018 Chevy Silverado represents the fifth model year of the third-generation Silverado. It is based on the GM K2 platform shared with other full-size pickup trucks and SUVs from GM. Though the line sold relatively well, it became less competitive in the marketplace with time when compared to its primary Ford F-Series rival, due to lacking cutting-edge features such as turbocharged engines, a rugged off-road variant such as the Ford F-150 Raptor, a diesel engine option in the light duty (1500) model, and also various modern features and equipment.

Luckily, an all-new Silverado arrived for the 2019 model year that addresses many of the issues of its predecessor model. Customers began taking delivery of the all-new truck in the second half of August 2018.
Chevrolet says that the all-new 2019 Silverado is the result of over 7,000 customer interviews - the most intensive research in its history. The new model uses higher grade alloy steel in the bed floor as well as various mixed materials that result in a reduction in weight and improved performance, with weight falling about 450 pounds. The truck also offers an expanded amount of models for a total of eight, including the new 2019 Silverado Trailboss.
Riding on GM's new T1 platform shared with other future GM full-size trucks and SUVs, the 2019 Silverado offers more technology, convenience features, and engine/transmission combinations. While details of five powertrain combos have already been revealed, GM has not yet shared details of the new inline-six 3.0L Duramax Diesel engine, only stating that it will be "best-performing" and that it will be mated to GM's new 10-speed transmission.
Notably, the outgoing, Chevy will continue manufacturing and selling the outgoing, K2 generation Silverado alongside the all-new model for a limited amount of time in limited configurations.
Having overhauled the Silverado 1500, Chevy will next overhaul the Silverado Heavy Duty. The brand released a teaser image of the upcoming all-new 2020 Silverado HD in April 2018 and announced the vehicle in November 2018. The truck will launch in the 2019 calendar year as a 2020 model.
The 2020 Silverado HD will be comprised of the Silverado 2500HD and Silverado 3500HD that ride on a more robust and capable version of the new T1 platform when compared to the 2019 Silverado 1500, while sharing many high-tech features and design elements with its light duty brother.
Completing the overhauled Silverado family is the 2019 Silverado Medium Duty series, comprised of the Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD.

- GM Fort Wayne Assembly in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
- GM Oshawa Assembly  in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

Is there an over-stock of crew cab All Star editions?
If they have too much inventory and can’t sell them why are they still building it as a 2019 Silverado LD? GM engineers are brilliant. Now about the management well The less said the better.
I wouldn’t call the engineering on either the 2018 or 2019 Silverado brilliant, more like good but not class leading. This discount makes me think, what features make the 2019 $11,000 better than the 2018? I just don’t see it.
Instead of having a huge discount why don’t you just lower the darn price on the vehicle you also could cut the CEO wages and also some of your profits I don’t know how you think any blue collar workers ever going to afford a pick up this expensive you guys are getting ridiculous
I agree the Silverado line is nice but, I chose to keep my 2000 Silverado. As much I would like a new truck, I cannot afford two house payments.
20% off of a year old truck is not enough.
Huge profit margins for trucks as R&D costs have been mostly amortized over years of production.
