Coming Soon to a Dealership Near You!


MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- BREAKING NEWS: The all-new Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD - the first ever medium-duty Silverado trucks are in production and headed to a dealership near you soon! These models, first revealed to the public at the 2018 NTEA Work Truck Show are designed to be the most customer-focused Silverados yet, rounding out Chevy's recent truck-winning streak. 

These new trucks are promising popularity with fleet managers, truck drivers, and technicians due to their clean, straight frame rail design which has no rivets, brackets, or welds that get in the way. Additionally, the seven cab-to-axle lengths can work for a variety of upfits, making it the perfect vehicle choice for anyone in the housing and highway construction, landscaping, or utility industries. 

The launch of these beastly new Truck Legends, caps off a record year for GM's commercial business, with a double-digit, year-over-year sales increase expected. The cause for this sudden success? Ed Peper, U.S. Vice President of GM Fleat chalks it up to the fact that "We've listened to the needs of our customers, and we're building the vehicles that they're asking for". From crossovers, to sedans and large trucks, Chevrolet's large vehicle portfolio is quickly being recognized as a one-stop shop for commercial customers to support their business' transportation needs.

The 2019 Silverado to Make Daytona 500 History


MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The 2019 Silverado is set to make Daytona 500 history this year, by becoming the first truck to pace the Great American Race. The pacer truck will be driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr., a driver who is familiar with leading the pack, having won the Dayona 500 twice, among numerous other racing accomplishments. 

Chevrolet has paced the Daytona 500 12 times, 7 with the Camaro and 5 with the Corvette, but, in the words of Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports, the company is beyond thrilled to "have Dale lead the field to green in the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.". He went on to say "Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the perfect choice to pace the race because of his enthusiasm for the sport, his long history with Chevrolet and his love of trucks.". 


Chevrolet isn't the only one looking forward to this history-making venture, Dale said "I've had a lot of fun and success at Daytona over the years, and now I can't wait to get out that track in a Silverado...away from the track I've driven Chevy trucks all my life, and I'm excited to have this unique experience of pacing the Daytona 500 with the Silverado.". 

The Silverado pace truck is powered by a production 6.2L V-8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering 420 HP and a 460 Lb-Ft of torque.
