As for the 2019 Silverado Medium Duty truck itself, it was designed with a very clear focus on the customer. The beastly truck rides on a strong, solid frame structure that enables uncomprised strength and capability. The single-piece frame rails offer unmatched durability, while the wide array of cab-to-axle options enables a wide array of upfit possibilities. In fact, each aspect of this truck was thoroughly designed to make maintenance and work life easier and more convenient.

Meanwhile, the cab – taken straight from the K2 platform Silverado HD – is highly functional and offers superb visibility for a better and easier driving experience. The controls are all within reach, and ten customizable aux switches are offered to make tasks a breeze. The cab also features triple-sealed doors to reduce outside road noise and provide a more quiet ride. There’s also plenty of storage space thanks to upper and lower glove boxes.

The 2019 Silverado Medium Duty lineup is comprised of the 2019 Silverado 4500HD, Silverado 5500HD, and Silverado 6500HD chassis cabs. The range was jointly developed by General Motors and Navistar and is assembled at Navistar’s Springfield Assembly plant.

The all-new Silverado chassis cabs are powered by a turbo-diesel Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 L5D engine paired to an assortment of different transmissions to deliver 350 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. The trucks, also known as the Silverado Chassis Cab, are available in 2WD and 4WD versions. No factory bed option is currently offered from the factory.

  2. Whats going on with Chevy,these trucks are assembled by Navistar,designed by Cheverlot.
    In a recent construction magazine Navistar advertise these trucks as if they were there own design.
    It seems like Chevy can’t even promote their own product.

  3. I had a small hauling business back in the late ’90’s and early 2000’s, ran a Ford L9000 and a Chevy 8500 and 3500HD. This truck makes me want to dust off the ole DOT # again!

  4. From these photos, the Cab looks good, the interior will do and doesn’t need to be “Over The Top” based on what this truck is built for and the type of customers it’s aimed at right now.

  6. No pickup bed option?? How do you compete with F450 without bed as an option and it needs to fill the space left by the Kodiak of old. Fold down rear seat and more rear leg room needed also with the introduction of the 2020 Silverado with a stronger better platform will this adopt that and increase payload and towing
