2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 consumer reviews

I wasn't initially sold on the exterior looks but after seeing it up close it really changed my mind. The interior is fine I know people have been complaining it isn't as well appointed as the Ram's but I wasn't in the market for an all out luxury vehicle. It is very quiet inside and the ride is pretty plush as well. It feels very solid and well made to last. The start/stop technology is a little annoying but I appreciate Chevy's attempt at saving a little gas. Not sure about a starter though down the road! I got a good deal also compared to the other manufacturers. I am very pleased and surprised by this truck and I have owned every one except for the Titan.

I drove a 2017 Silverado LT with the 5.3 AFM engine with the 6 speed tranny before buying the 2019. The 2017 Silverado was awesome and I loved it! But this new 2019 with the new and upgraded 5.3 DFM engine, paired with the 8 speed tranny is in a whole new class! This truck is also roomier, has more cargo space, the engine and tranny marriage is smoother and makes driving our up-and-down hills of north GA almost disappear with near-effortless driving with near-imperceptible shifting. The truck is even quieter than my Cadillac, which is amazing. This truck clobbers both the RAM 1500 and the Ford F-150 overall in my opinion. The Ford and Ram may beat the Chevy on a few INsignificant line items that most people don't care about in the half-ton category. Many reviews point out the others may have a larger fuel tank (who cares?), a few tenths of a second faster (who cares?), can tow a couple hundred pounds more (who cares? If you tow stuff bigger than the 1500 Silverado can handle, then you should be driving a 3/4 or 1 ton anyway (common sense, duhh). But OVERALL the Chevy is a whole step above (crash, bang, thump-bump busted transmissions) Ford, and Ram (many buyers still look at like it's a Dodge so don't be surprised by the resale value once you drive it off the lot). The new Chevy simply takes the cake again! Ok, there are some gnat-bites that I wish were better on the 2019 Silverado: No ash tray!? I don't smoke, but I always use the ashtray for storing small things that I want quick access to (Chapstick, a trailer key, etc). Not a big deal, but initially a disappointment. The auto-start-stop is great at times, but also of goofy at times in stop and go traffic, but the Chevy has a button that I can press to temporarily disable the auto-stop whenever I don't want it to engage. Also, it irks me that Chevy doesn't have auto-up-down for all four windows. It has auto DOWN for all four, but auto UP only for the driver. My wife's recent Toyota and current Honda all have auto-up AND down for all windows; I wish Chevy would step up and do the same. Finally, for some reason Chevy decided to make the turn signal "stalk" just a "toggle" for the high/low beam operation. In the 2017 Silverado, the high-beam would be set by pushing the stalk forward, and it would stay forward until I would pull it back again to revert to low beam. That configuration is great because I can keep my eyes on the road rather than having to look down to see if the high beams are on or off (especially on stretches of road where I often switch back and forth between high and low beams). It's easy to forget whether you're on high or low beam in many situations, but you can touch the stalk and know instantly whether you're on hi or lo beam. But the 2019 stalk is only a "toggle" for hi and lo, meaning you PUSH the stalk forward for hi beam and the stalk just pops back into its original position. So if a car appears over a hill, and you can't remember if your beams are on hi or lo, you can tell only by taking your eyes off the road and looking at the dash board for a blue light. In the 2019, too many times I pull the stalk again, only to realize I was already on lo beam, and inadvertently turn the hi beams on which is followed by getting flashed by a now angry or confused oncoming driver who is wondering why I flashed my hi beams at him. This is probably the biggest blunder Chevy made on the 2019. I think it's a safety issue and Chevy could do a recall to replace the stalk mechanism, but don't hold your breath. Otherwise, I love the 2019 Silverado would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I upgraded from the 2014 Silverado LT quad cab to the 2019 Silverado LT crew cab. Love the extra room in the cab for passengers. Interior design on the 2019 took a step backward. No sunglasses compartment anymore, usb connections on the dash rather inside the armrest, no bin on left side of dash for change, and impractical open bins on top of the dash and flip-up arm rest. And, no texting app in the infotainment system. Very nice ride, but interior design a big disappointment. Wish I had bought a 2018 holdover.

I love my new truck! It is so comfortable to drive. The interior looks amazing. It has charging ports for your phone or computer. The inside bed of the truck even has a 110 outlet. I love everything about my new truck!

I think its a great truck it fits all my needs. So far no problems. I only have 600miles on it and I’m impress. T

Drives smooth and its really quiet! Im really pleased with my purchase!!!!! Was surprised it goes so fast for a 4.3 plus has the automatic tailgate.

This truck has good power and handling with a surprisingly comfortable and quiet ride. Very stylish too. Tons of room in the back seat and a very deep truck bed. If only the 6.2 liter engine was available in the RST trim...

1500 LT New Body Style. Overall A nice quiet ride and plenty of Power. 5.3 / DFM/ 8 sp Trans are Great. Completely blindsided that the towing package did not come with integrated brake controller ! The factory version can't be added afterwards. My previous Silverado's all had them included with towing package. Now you have to be extremely careful to read the fine print on the sticker, if you expect Gm to include it, if its not listed as a separate item on the options added, you're hosed ! Xm radio is not automatic either anymore, and again not able to add a factory upgrade to get it afterwards. My bad for trusting Gm after owning about 20 Silverado's and Express Vans ! My 2016 and 2017 came standard in LT package with Xm built into the radio's. The Express LT come with Standard 110v outlets too, NOT the 2019 1500LT. I thought I could add that too, according to GM, no way! For a truck that has a sticker of over $45,000 , these items should have been on this truck! I should not have to spend over $50K to get items that used to be standard in LT packages ! I use this truck for work and towing a 4500 LBS enclosed Trailer sometimes. Work is not an option to check on this review format. I don't always need my 2500 or 3500 trucks and vans that get 12 mpg. I blew it for not double checking on these items before I finalized the deal, GM blew it my deleting previously included options as a reasonable price point. Reliability may be an issue too, erratic whine coming out of drivetrain that matches actual ground speed just started after 1200 miles. I owned a 2001 Silverado 2500 HD with 8.1 V-8 that died routinely on the highway for 2 to 3 hours at a time, Gm repurchased that after 6 months and too many crank sensor replacements to count. I hope after trusting GM and buying 12 more 2500 HD and 3500 HD Silverado's since then, I don't get to go thru the grief of another repurchase !

Great room in this crew cab ,love the leather seats and new body style.Also the 5.3 L motor has good power.The remote start is great.

i love my brand new car the truck has all of my needs i am greatful that bomnin Chevrolet helped me out and i love Jason was great was helpful
