Is the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado the Best Silverado Ever? | First Drive | Edmunds

[@philharris4504]

Finally an automatic tailgate. Because it's been such a chore to open and close the tailgate for the last few decades. LOL. Are we really getting that lazy as a society?

[@jacobynoctis4825]

Phil Harris lol i have to use pilers to open my tailgate lol

[@youngblood23rb]

I just cannot believe the new GM trucks do not have automatic opening and closing doors

[@snactimusmaximus]

lol such a stupid gimmick. I’m fully expecting some shit like “you can’t take your tailgate off yoruself or it voids the warranty on the whole truck” or something else equally dumb.

[@maxwell5428]

Phil Harris people drive trucks as daily drivers without needing them

[@Jisstifer83626]

Worst part is if the battery dies, the tailgate will not open or close. There is even a video of a GM rep telling people to keep jumper cables on them in case that happens.

[@JDMatthias]

So I was a salesman at a dealership that sold both the Ram and Silverado. The Ram drove and looks better hands down. The Silverado has a few features that are really cool and certainly drives better than the 2018 and previous year models. Drive them both before you decide.

[@lastcall170]

Ram sucks gas

[@raphaelmoraczewski1106]

Chevy's a better truck than the Ram. Everybody knows that. Just look at the repair bills of Customer owners. Who got last and customer satisfaction besides the Nissan,... Ram

[@raphaelmoraczewski1106]

Good video fair, you didn't talk about the off road package.

[@alfonsocrosse3522]

The best vehicle I've seen! No animal cruelty from what I see in the interior of the truck! It has a flatbed trunk compartment to put things in like fruits, vegetables, seeds, to replant plants to help the enviroment and the habitats which the creatures live in and need to sustain their lives! I need one of these. I've seen too many vehicles with animal cruelty in it like leather which makes me feel their suffering just being in it or seeing it! If I would have any vehicle that I may need it would be one without leather, one that dose not wrongfully impact the enviroment, and one that can help give back to the enviroment, that also has many features that are helpful!

[@methmeier]

Power lift gate is stupid because if you're back there, there is no need for it and if the battery dies there's no way to open or close it.

[@gmerc-zu6wz]

At least I won't break a nail opening it. Lol

[@zander938]

The Button Panel can be popped off by hand or small tools to reveal a manual latch, with easy override it will not damage any electronic gears even when theres no power available.

[@methmeier]

Zander Doesn't matter though, it should still be accessible without power. One shouldn't have to reconfigure it just to fix it.

[@zander938]

Also correct 👍👍

[@edwardthomas1794]

Totally agree, besides if you can’t open and close a tailgate don’t own a pickup.

So Chevrolet spent how many years bashing Ford's aluminum body in their commercials and marketing? And now almost half the Silverado's body is aluminum?

I want to love GM so bad... then I see the interior. It matters. Great video!!!!!

[@andybub45]

I love the interior. Simple. Not overbearing like Ram

[@Sc2God724]

Interior is the same build quality of the other truck brands its just plain I like the plain look personally other to trucks brands do have bigger screens but thats about it and the ram screen is extremely buggy the ford is bigger but not as fluid as gmc screens

[@jzatofl9546]

Nice review! You did a great job. Honest and detailed without opinions.

[@kylebeaudine9373]

Wow. No love for Chevy here. I think it looks great.

[@pajamatime5750]

I’m a Ford guy and I do like what Chevy did to the looks of this truck. The overall exterior look and round wheel wells are attractive in my opinion. Once you swing open a door and see an interior that hasn’t changed much, well, that’s when I start to dislike what they did with this new truck.... Dodge went all out in their 2019 interior and Chevy really didn’t do much at all.... Maybe they’ll update it over the next few model years....

[@andybub45]

People liked it the way it was

[@MadmanGTP]

"It's a different car from the ground up!" 5 seconds later "It feels like a refresh not a new truck"EDIT: 5 minutes later "Not so much a redesign but an evolution"

[@jasonlarsen3515]

Love how GM is sneaking in the lack of 2 speed transfer case to bolster its MPG number.

[@dpach2382]

Besides a couple of pounds weight savings, how does not having a 2-speed transfer case help MPG? By the way, if you want the 2-speed transfer case, just get the Z71 package which is available across all trim levels except WT. People who need 4x4 low also need all-terrain tires, skid plates, etc which is what the Z71 package is. The vast majority of truck owners never use 4x4 low. Having a single speed TC with 4x4 high simplifies the TC, plus they added a terrain mode which reduces torque when in 4x4 high and actually applies the brake at low 4x4 speeds whenever you take your foot off the gas pedal. So if you need to do a little off roading, this system works like a crawl system and the driver only has to worry about the gas while the truck does the braking. Great technology.

[@Peppin356]

Good honest review, critical where he needs to be but doesn't compare and I love that. Doesnt seem biased.

[@gene978]

Have no idea what GM was thinking when they gave the GO AHEAD for this design making Ford and Ram look much more high end and eye appealing in everyway.

[@WeatherxCalipha]

Debatable, personally I believe the 2019 RAM 1500 is the best looking truck on the market OVERALL, however the 2019 Silverado is still a very attractive truck and I believe they trade blows in terms of exterior looks, however the interior of the Silverado is a complete letdown, the RAM EASILY dominates in that area. The 2018 F-150 is kind of the middle ground compared to the new RAM and Silverado. Honestly though, the only thing that's keeping me interested in the new Silverado is the upcoming 3.0L Duramax w/ the Inline-6 configuration. However I hope RAM makes considerable changes to the EcoDiesel as well.

[@gene978]

When I said “Design”I did mean the Interior as well. The design as a whole is a let down in my eyes. Especially the interior

[@alexisguy6440]

Really? The f150 is the ugliest of all trucks

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

might be too you but what counts is which truck sells the most and the toughest and thats the f-150 by far..

[@alexisguy6440]

@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS selling the most doesn't make it the best truck. That only means ford has a better marketing team. By the way, that stat is misleading because gm sells more silverado and Sierra trucks combine than Ford. And we all know they are the same truck, just different badging.

[@kdtune33]

for 70 plus grand,the 6.2 liter should be standard!

[@tgilldesign]

Why go to such extremes redesigning an entire vehicle, and then completely ignore the part that people see the most when driving; the interior? Looks just like the old truck interior..... did they run out of money again???

[@mudman6156]

tgilldesign Personally, the tweets they made to the interior look WORSE than the old truck’s interior. All that crappy plastic needs to go. It looks cheap because it is cheap. Problem is...the truck’s expensive. I want what I pay for. In this case, the RAM nailed it. The Chevy failed it.

[@tgilldesign]

The 2019 RAM has without question THEE BEST interior out of them all.... I was set to buy one and then started reading the hoards of horror stories on the 'Hemi Engine Tick" issue they have had for years..... I went to a dealer, and had him start up two 2019's cold (warm ambient temperature, but hadn't been started in a few days) and sure as hell, they both 'clattered' upon startup and then it quickly quieted down in about 5 seconds. Some people report that this phenomenon gets worse as time goes on and can...not always... result in major engine problems. I suspect the first 5-10 seconds after a startup with the vehicle sitting for hours or a day or two means that the engine oil has drained down and doesn't immediately pump back up for proper lubrication.... that is scary business. I couldn't deal with that or the prospect of a 'noisy' idling engine.... so sadly scratched them off my list.... have an F150 coming in in a few weeks. I think I made the right decision. The F150 seems to get better reliability scores than Chevy or RAM..... If you are intent on buying a RAM.... go to the dealer and ask him to get 3 sets of keys to 2019 RAMs that have been sitting.... and walk out there WITH HIM and stand by the front wheel well and have the SALESMAN start the vehicle and then listen to it run for about 10 seconds..... you will likely see what I mean. Don't have them go get the vehicle and drive it up for you, because by that time, the noise is gone. I literally questioned a RAM service writer about this noise, and he said, "They are all noising and click like hell when you first start them up.... we can hear them in the winter across the far side of the parking lot." Seriously - - - that is almost to the word what he said.

[@Kohbruh]

tgilldesign say it again bro....I have a 14 and I liked that design for that year. They need to let it go. I've have Chevy's my whole life I will not be buying another one if they don't change the interior...

[@nkyryry]

The interior looks 2 generations old. I know feature wise it’s not. But the “look” of that interior is horrible compared to the competition. This would be the best Silverado ever made if it was priced like a 6 year old used truck. I think they’ll refresh that interior after a year lol,

[@billcharlene1450]

nkyryry Its a truck, not a lexus

[@nkyryry]

billcharlene1450 maybe it shouldn’t be the same price as a Lexus then. I agree that it’s a truck. With a very cheap truck like interior. So maybe it should be priced like a truck.

[@billcharlene1450]

nkyryry I have a 2016, i guess interior does not matter to me as much. Ive had 10 Silverados in my day... good trucks, I look at it as paying for durability I suppose.

[@viivcreations9161]

Then why is the RAM so nice? :)

[@ericdaniels6795]

Wait, a button was relabeled on the 4WD controls. Hill/descent instead of 4WD-Low. Is the two-speed transfer case no longer the standard 4WD transfer case? One-speed and then pay extra for the high trim for two speed? Or has the button just been relabeled, and two-speed is standard. The Chevy web site makes if seem like the former is the case.

The overall review was insightful , but I gather you were not impressed with the new vehicle. "Refreshed" isn't a term that will get me into the showroom and that center screen was pitiful . Dash gauges are from 1980.

[@nlcraider627]

Unlike a lot of the comments, I honestly like the 2019 Silverado, it looks good interior wise and exterior wise. Plus, it looks simple to use. And honestly, people that say Ram is better... why are you people even watching this video, if it’s something you dislike, don’t bother wasting your time with it. Glad you like Ram, but we don’t need people discriminating other car brands just to brag how good another car brand is. It’s unnecessary and like I said earlier, it’s a waste of time...

I’ll stick with my old faithful 09 Silverado. 320 000 km, and counting. Never had any issue. Just basic maintenance and it’s been dependable as a rock. If or when it ever dies, I’ll just buy the next best used one for 15k or less cash I can find. I’ll let others spend their money while I gain the benefits. I’ll never finance a depreciating asset. I’m also not crazy about all the automated features. Way too much that will eventually break and cost a fortune to fix. Touch screens, keyless push start, powered tailgate etc, all fluff and future headaches when they stop working. But I’m still a Chevy guy.

[@hydevanbrutton1516]

Love Chevy and silverados. Have seen many numerous Silverados & suburbans in my family for generations. However....... The newest silverado not impressed with the interior compared to a Dodge Ram and a Ford f150. Disappointed in that. Im seeing guys switch more to rams and f150s more these days. Also the grill and the front just looks off. Not sure if im a fan of it. This current and previous generation i feel like the GMC Sierra, ford and dodge have all looked meaner, aggressiver, nicer and more aesthetically appealing than the silverado. when these trucks drive by i'm like wow nice, for the first time ( being a die-hard chevy loyalist) Lately if feels like the entire chevy trucks and full-size suvs have become more "soccer mom's". less aggressive, less masculine, and more minivan-ish. i find myslef holding off on buying my 3rd suburban and my 4th silverado due to this and not sure if i will buy the chevy tbh.

[@W.Vanderbilt]

Let's face it, the LED DRL's are over done and this is no exception. However, there are some options I do like about the 2019's. I am a GMC guy but Fords power in a small engine and Rams interior cannot go ignored

[@bigearnucsd]

My first car ever was 1999 f150 which I drove for 15 years. When I decided to get another truck, I checked out Tacoma, tundra, f150 and 2019 Silverado. F150 had a leg up since I loved my old f150 and wasn't even sure if I was even going to check out Silverado. Chevy won me over and I ended up buying 2019 Silverado. This guy is spot on everything that I love about this truck. I got the impression that Chevy paid a lot of attention to small details that adds up such as keyless entry, keyless start, extra storage spaces, to even having a cushion on the edge of the center console so that your right arms lays comfortably while driving. Interior feels nice, drives smooth. Everything feels perfect right now.

Why I chose a 2019 Silverado 1500 RST Allstar edition over a GM Ram: 6.7 foot bed More payload than ram Full 4 doors on Double cab vs Fords silly suicide doors. 5.3 with DFM 8 speed auto. Much easier to find a Max tow V8 Chevy compared to Fords v8 max tow. Fuel economy on par with Ram or Ford V8 numbers. Have you driven the new 2019 Silverado 1500? Very plush ride and very quiet interior on the freeway. If it wasnt for this refresh, RAM would have my money. Thank goodness GM, your refresh just earned you a new customer.

[@johnharper2016]

Never owned a pickup. Recently started looking and really like the 2019 Silverado extra cab (Not the quad cab) 2 WD, 5.3, 8 speed with the Max Trailering Pkg. The bucket seat model with a much nicer center console arrangement is great also. I am concerned about reports of problems with the AFM and engine lifter failures. Costly fixes. Drove a couple and liked the drive. I would definitely get one of those plug in devices that cancel AFM and save the lifter problems. Oh, the Class Action suit concerning 8 speed transmission problems give me concern also.

[@AStanton1966]

We have that auto start/stop button on a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. It's the worse feature you can ever imagine. Once the engine warms up, it shuts itself off. When you press the gas pedal, it restarts. Yeah, you can hit that "A" button to bypass it, but you have to do this every time you start the vehicle. I would advise everyone to buy an older model and avoid this feature. The Dodge cars with the big Hemi's pay a "gas guzzler tax" and avoid having to have this inane feature.

Tester appears to be a short man.... I have seen another review where the tester was taller.... 6' 1" and he said the seat bottoms are too small and too short - - not enough seat cushion extending under the thigh and up to the knee.... GM has this new penchant for making very uncomfortable, small seats that only dwarfs can appreciate.

[@tgilldesign]

Thank you Travis - - also; I wasn't insinuating that *you* were a dwarf although it may have read that way..... that was just a generalized comment about GM's seats in most of their vehicles.... very small, short seat bottoms. I sat in several models the other day and it is amazing what a step backwards they have generally taken in seat comfort and construction.

[@swanblake]

For sure.... I have sat in several of the newer gen Camaros and my head rubs the headliner.... at 5' 11 1/2".

[@BadBackOz]

I'm 5'11-6'0 and own a 2016 F150.. Seat bottom is too short in it as well so it's not like it's some GM only issue. I've sat in multiple GM models as well and did not experience this generalized issue you're claiming they have more than any other brands. I've driven a 6th gen Camaro with a sunroof and without and my head was not rubbing the headliner. Many people our height own this car and I would imagine their head isn't rubbing the headliner.

[@tgilldesign]

I didn't experience the F150 seats being too short as you did, and I am exactly your height. In fact, I have a new F150 on order exactly because the seats were (in my opinion) far more comfortable, and with longer seat bottoms than Chevy. RAM also does a good - actually a GREAT job with their seating. Don't know what to say about your Camaro experience: I have applied graphics to scores of these things, so have had to drive them around the lots...... with the seats positioned vertically down as far as they can go towards the floor panel, my head always just grazes the top of the headliner. You can mitigate that, of course, by reclining the seat back at quite an angle backwards, but I don't like driving a car lying down. GM also likes to give every car an extreme amount of aggressive seatback and seat bottom 'bolster.' Again, making the seat very uncomfortable.... unless you are a skinny, waif of a person. For some reason, they think a person needs a Corvette style bolster in a Equinox.....I guess they think they can fool a customer into thinking an econobox is somehow a performance car.... lol. Mostly junk for sale on the Chevy lot.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

It'd be a good truck if it didn't have AFM, .longevity of AFM is in question, failed on me, will cost nearly $2k to fix, I doubt it'd saved me $2k over the life of the engine. The system is very complex - far more complex that a DOHC or turbo and if any of the sensors or actuators in the system fail, it will result in high costs. GM as usual isn't making good on it. At this point I would never consider a vehicle with cylinder deactivation on it. If you look in the forums there is post after post of people disabling AFM, same thing on RAM. People aren't disabling AFM that for no reason.

AFM is fine it has been around since 2002

[@youngblood23rb]

The new Silverado has a butter face

[@luisreviews6412]

Great review!

[@stevepowsinger733]

I didn’t get the model/ trim reviewed. It appears to be LT. Definitely not the work truck, nor the High Country.

[@stevedee2518]

You can get any color interior as long as you want black.seems like a very small percentage comes brownish...or grey.do people like a black interior that much ?

[@revistadearmas]

Yes Is the best to look like crap ! Front end is ugly

[@shylildude]

revistadearmas What did you expect from government motors? Same shit different toilet.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

The GMC is uglier. We'll take the Chevy.

[@wsmyth1226]

If you are “from” Wyoming - where are the Wyoming license plates? And the bucking horse Steamboat - New York?

[@brianthomas5759]

Should have left it the way it was except with round wheel wells.

[@rxonmymind8362]

A wasted opportunity below that center stack. That's a HUGE gaping hole between the center armrest and the dash. They could have put another shelf there or room for another person if it can with a seat belt in the center. GM really made this as "less" as possible so GMC can take all the best pickings. How much is that truck? Hopefully affordable for the masses as it's shown. $40k? Anything more would be ludicrous.

For all of you saying your men cuz you drive an f150, saying the silverado looks bad and has a poor interior, have you taken a look at the basic looking f150 with a 2009 interior with an iphone 4 sized screen 50 square plastic buttons the silverado is a porsche compared to that thing, the sad apple watch sized gauge screen, giant weird door handles that give the exterior a bad look it just looks bad, the crew cab starts at 38,000 while the silverado's starts at 37,000 and the silverado's base model looks way better than the f150, the ford does not look more high end it is just a basic truck for the same price as a silverado with a screen half the size of my phone. Yes the ram is better but more expensive for the price point the silverado is as good as it gets

[@gregc247]

I think they really screwed up rounding the wheel wells, that is what thtows it off

[@BabyyJayy1219]

wasnt ford first with the power tailgate ?

[@MrMaz111]

It looks like they screwed up the storage space under the back seat

[@ELPJM09]

My dad owns a 2012 Silverado Texas Edition. It’s a beautiful truck but this new 2019 model looks ugly. The same cheap plastics that are in my dads truck. I’m looking forward for the next generation Toyota Tundra.

[@wiibaron]

What happens when all the mud from your boots is all over that step after loading up the bed? Just fold it up into the tailgate? Probably just have to take it in to get a monthly tailgate flush...

[@tedsmith1295]

need a smart fob, keyless start, hud, better interior , push button doors, at that price point

[@ilikefordchevygmcnotramand6810]

Hey, finally better interior in 2021

[@bradgt5130]

Aluminum hood, doors and tailgate. Now a turbo 4. Hmm. Seems like chevys smear campaigns against Ford, and they are slowly becoming Ford, with the radical redesigns that look nothing like the previous model. Give it next gen and chevy will have a full aluminum truck too. It’s not their fault though, with growing number of people and gas getting harder and harder to come by to keep up with our need for v8 trucks they got to do things to save and get every last drop of fuel out of trucks.

[@SavageGaming-tl6ee]

I would get the 2019 gmc

[@randalldenison4628]

GM better make changes quickly or they will lose alot of market share. The storage in the seats are silly, big enough for a sheet of paper?

[@ilikefordchevygmcnotramand6810]

I want one soooooo bad!!!!😭😭😭😭

[@ilikefordchevygmcnotramand6810]

SIERRA ELEVATION!!😞

[@usedconn41]

Why did they take all the styling cues from the F1 50

[@chevytrucksrock6608]

The best Silverado is from 88-98

[@websterslaughter5948]

Those were some good looking trucks.

[@qualitylandscapeandhauling7942]

The GMC sierra I had was a 2001 ext cab with the 6.5 ft bed. I put 310,000 miles before it died. It never broke down or was in the shop often. Very reliable truck. Then I bought a 2005 GMC 3500 stakebed with the Duramax . I still own that and haul 2 to 4 tons in the 12 ft bed. It has never broken down or is even in the shop often. Just regular maintenance, brakes, 1 water pump, tires , etc. Then I bought a new 2015 GMC Sierra slt crew cab for $52k . That was the worse truck I have ever owned. Every 4 months it kept breaking down. After 3 years I got rid of it. Now I bought a used (ex at&t) Silverado with a commercial camper on it. Paid $4k for it and has only 134,000 miles. It's a v6 , automatic, manual everything, vinyl seats, rubber floor mats , basic stereo . I mean it's as basic as it gets . But in 4 months I have had zero issues. I love this truck !

[@kennthbennett7320]

This is a super model compared to the new heavy duty chevy!!!

[@AStanton1966]

I'm wondering how you can make something longer, taller, and lighter yet structural integrity doesn't suffer?

[@edt.9218]

thinner frame for sure

[@apass2803]

I used to say I would only buy a Silverado
