The newest Chevrolet Silverado gives you more than just toughness and durability. It gives you a ride that you’ll love, mile after mile.
For years, one of the aspects of owning a truck that we’ve accepted as part of what the vehicle characteristics are has been a harsh ride. With some truck being offered that drive more like an SUV, the Chevrolet team saw an opportunity to make changes and bring in a feeling on the road that’s much smoother and more elegant than in the past. This new ride refinement is offered without sacrificing any of the durability or capability that you expect to have when you choose the Chevrolet Silverado as the truck you want to drive.

Getting a Deep Dive into the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado

This new truck features a brand-new fully boxed steel frame that’s nearly 88 pounds lighter with ten percent greater stiffness than the previous model. This frame is made from eighty percent high-strength steel to offer a foundation that rigid while bringing you the driving dynamics you’re after. The front end is also made from new sheet metal to give this area a stiffer build that offers greater tuning options for the suspension that’s used in the Chevy Silverado. Add the new body mounts the mix and you’ve got a truck that doesn’t feel like a truck anymore.

A Feeling You’ll Enjoy

When a pickup truck travels over a rough section of road, there’s a lot of movement in the rear but with the use of liquid frame mounts in the rear, this motion is quelled and eliminated to make sure you can ride comfortably and never have to feel this troubling feeling again. Surprisingly, GM continues to make use of leaf springs for the suspension of the rear of the Silverado instead of moving to coils. This surprising aspect may set this truck apart from the rest of the market and make it the right choice for you.

Improving the Silverado Drive in Other Ways

Often, when we hear of an automaker making the changes that are needed to a vehicle in the suspension area for a smoother drive, this is all they pay attention to. The Chevrolet team took a look at the entire truck and has improved the engine and transmission mounts to allow them to absorb the vibrations that are the result of driving over a rougher part of the road. These new mounts help to make sure the feeling of the powertrain movement isn’t felt in the cab when you drive.

Coming Closer to a Car-Like Ride

The goal for the GM engineers when they created the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado was to create a ride that’s smoother and more elegant on the road. This new truck certainly gives you a feeling that’s much better than in the past and is head and shoulders above the ride feeling in every other truck of this size. This can be the perfect truck for you when you know you’re going to have to drive it on a daily basis. Visit your nearby Chevrolet dealership and take this truck out for a test drive.
