Vehicle Overview
If we take a look at the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 then we would get to the conclusion that 2018 was a good year for the brand, but despite the fact that last year's model was a strong offering from Chevrolet, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is more refined and overall a better choice. In the 2019 vs 2018 debate, the 2019 model is more useful when it comes to cargo, and is better equipped and more capable to handle demanding jobs. The new model got a new design, and in the process it dropped 450 pounds, and is more focused on the mission than ever. Besides being more spacious and a better fit to haul cargo and people, the new Chevrolet also improves in areas such as road manners, and it has more safety features. There are plenty of trims that you can choose from, as the Silverado expands from 6 to 8 trim levels in 2019, being offered in High Country, LTZ, RST, LT Trail Boss, Custom Trail Boss, Custom, and Work Truck.
Exterior - 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1500
A quick look at the 2019 Silverado and you will notice that the exterior of the 2019 Silverado has a more modern look, with 4 different grills being available, depending on the trim level. While the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had a number of special editions available that you could choose from, the new track provides more visual variety.
The LTZ trim level has a more compact look, yet still provides you with the necessary power to handle the toughest jobs. The High Country trim level has a strong presence and a streamlined grille, but overall, regardless of what trim level you end up choosing, all new models are designed to offer improved aerodynamics, smarter features, and thus better value. If you're going to haul a lot of payload frequently then you might need the extra room that the 2019 model offers. The vehicle provides you a more voluminous bed in short, and also has the advantage of standard and long-box configurations over last year's model, without making the bed longer.

While the interior of the two vehicles might be more similar than their exteriors, on closer inspection there are improvements that you will benefit from. Both the 2019 and the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 retain the old-school column shifter and gauges. However, the interior of the 2019 model has a more pronounced look and also a less cluttered dash. The layout of the driver's side was updated in order to put the driver more in control of the vehicle. The integrated trailer brake was relocated to the base of the center console.
One of the biggest differences when it comes to the interior of the two trucks is the fact that the 2019 Silverado provides more legroom for backseat passengers – something which your family and friends might appreciate if you're going to drive people around on a regular basis. The new model also provides you with more cubbies as well as interior storage in places such as underneath the back seats.

While some of the engines appear on both versions, tweaks were made in order to make them more desirable. Besides the familiar engines, the 2019 also offers Duramax 3.0L inline turbodiesel, which is a new engine choice. While the V8 will remain available, on 2019, this engine has a cylinder-disabling feature which is designed to automatically shut down multiple cylinders when they are not needed. 8-sped automatic transmission is standard on the uplevel trims. The popular 5.3 liter V8 gets one mpg better when it comes to fuel economy in the city that it does in last year's model. The new Silverado also offers a few perks that the 2018 did not, such as a fully opening rear window, as well as keyless start system – which is going to make things easier. Additionally, the new truck features electric parking brake for a more reliable hold, and rear vents for the AC in the bed of the truck.

The 2019 truck manages to provide more safety features than last year's model, being designed with plenty of security options. Standard safety features include trailer sway control, a rearview camera, hill start assist, and 6 airbags. When we go to higher trims, standard on the High Country trim level is the Safety package (optional for the LT trim level) which includes front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and blind-spot monitors. Available for the High Country and LTZ trim levels is the Safety Package II which includes lane departure warning with active lane control, forward-collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, as well as GM's Safety Alert Seat which vibrates in the direction of the potential hazards.
