It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD).\nIt’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks.\nChevrolet Silverado Quick Facts\nModel Years\n1999 – Present\nLayout\nFront-Engined, Longitudinal\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada, Middle East\nPredecessor\nC\/K Series Pickup\nSuccessor\n–\nFirst-Generation Silverado\nQuick Facts\nModel Years\n1999 – 2007\nAssembly Location\nFort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico\nPlatform\nT900\nBody Style(s)\nCabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long\nEngine(s)\nVortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8\nTransmission(s)\n4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada\nThe Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra.\nThe first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations.\nOther Silverado variants included a\nhigh-performance SS model\n, as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle.\nIt’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.\nSee complete details on first-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks.\n(Coming Soon)\nComing soon.\nSecond-Generation Silverado\nQuick Facts\nModel Years\n2007-2014\nAssembly Location\nFort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico\nPlatform\nT910\nBody Style(s)\nCabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long\nEngine(s)\nVortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2L V8, 7.4L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8\nTransmission(s)\n4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 2ML70 4-Speed, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 6-Speed Manual,Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada\nThe second-generation Chevrolet Silverado arrived for the 2007 model year, utilizing the GMT900 platform and offering more modern safety features over the GMT800 trucks, such as electronic stability control (ESC).\nOne major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor.\nIt’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers.\nNotably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market.\nNew components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.\nSee complete details on second-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks.\n(Coming Soon)\n[nggallery id=40] [nggallery id=66] [nggallery id=131] [nggallery id=82] [nggallery id=83] [nggallery id=350]\nThird-Generation Silverado\nQuick Facts\nModel Years\n2014-2019\nAssembly Location\nFort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia\nPlatform\nK2\nBody Style(s)\nCabs: Regular, Double, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long\nEngine(s)\nVortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2 V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8\nTransmission(s)\nAllison 1000 6-Speed Auto, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 8L90 8-Speed Auto\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada\nWhen the \n2014 Chevy Silverado\ndebuted alongside the 2014 GMC Sierra, it was completely redesigned from hood to hitch  and was based on the then-new\nK2XX architecture\n. A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models.\nAside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors.\nThe three new engines included:\n4.3L V6 LV3\n5.3L V8 L83\n6.2L V8 L86\nOn the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement. And while the driving experience may have become more plush and precise, the Silverado HD’s towing capabilities also improved, allowing buyers to pull up 19,600 pounds.\nSee complete details on third-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks.\n(Coming Soon)\n[nggallery id=493] [nggallery id=572] [nggallery id=644] [nggallery id=733] [nggallery id=755] [nggallery id=811] [nggallery id=813] [nggallery id=826] [nggallery id=834] [nggallery id=838]\nFourth-Generation Silverado\nQuick Facts\nModel Years\n2019 – Present\nAssembly Location\nFort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia\nPlatform\nT1\nBody Style(s)\nCabs: Regular, Double, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long\nEngine(s)\nVortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2 V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8\nTransmission(s)\nAllison 10-Speed Auto, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 8L90 8-Speed Auto,\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada\nThe 2019 model year was a busy time for the Silverado nameplate. At the time, the 1500 light-duty model underwent a complete overhaul – introducing the fourth-generation of the pickup truck on the\nT1 platform\n– while the 2500HD and 3500HD mostly carry over from the previous model year with few changes. The Silverado line also expanded to include three all-new\nChevrolet Conventional Medium Duty trucks\nfor the Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 segments – the\n2019 Silverado 4500HD\n,\n2019 Silverado 5500HD\nand\n2019 Silverado 6500HD\n, respectively.\nThe current-generation Silverado 1500 features widespread use of mixed materials and\nhigher-grade alloy steel in the bed\n, resulting in a “significant weight reduction” and\nimproved performance\n(improved overall performance and higher fuel economy). The approach is similar to that of the now-discontinued\nCadillac CT6\n, which featured an advanced mixed material frame. Amongst the many new features and hardware was the\n3.0-liter LM2 inline-six\nturbo diesel Duramax engine, which became the first diesel engine for the Silverado 1500 nameplate, offering a towing capacity of well over 9,000 pounds and an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models.\nNotably, the third-gen\nK2 Silverado 1500 remained in production\nalongside the fourth-gen, and was sold exclusively as a Double Cab configuration under the ‘Silverado Limited’ moniker. The Silverado 1500 Limited would then\nreturn for the 2022 model year\nas a stop-gap measure until production of the refreshed Silverado light-duty model can begin later in the 2022 or perhaps for the 2023 model year.\nWhen the\n2020 Silverado\nHD entered the market, it offered a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds, which was an enormous 52 percent improvement over the third-gen Silverado HD model. The renewed powertrain featured an updated Duramax diesel engine option and an all-new Allison 10-speed automatic. The fourth-gen Silvy HD is also substantially larger than its third-gen counter part.\nSee complete details on fourth-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks.\n(Coming Soon)\n[nggallery id=937] [nggallery id=996] [nggallery id=1007] [nggallery id=1061] [nggallery id=957] [nggallery id=1113]\nSilverado Medium Duty\nChevrolet Silverado MD Quick Facts\nAssembly Location\nNavistar Plant, Springfield, Ohio\nPlatform\nBody Style(s)\nRegular Cab or Crew Can\nEngine(s)\n6.6L Duramax V8\nTransmission(s)\nAllison 6-Speed Auto\nDrivetrain\nRear-Wheel-Drive, Four-Wheel-Drive\nAvailability\nU.S.A., Canada, Mexico\nThe Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty line – which includes 4500, 5500, and 6500 models- was introduced for the\n2019 model year\nin collaboration with Navistar. To clarify, the Silverado Medium Duty is the successor to the\nChevrolet Kodiak\n, which was discontinued in 2009.\nAt the time of its release, Chevy stated that the Silverado Medium Duty is “powerful, highly maneuverable, and among the easiest trucks on the market to upfit with specialized bodies, such as dump bodies, rollbacks, freight boxes and more.”\nIt’s worth noting that conventional Medium Duty trucks serve as platforms for a wide variety of mostly commercial applications, such as traditional pickup trucks, emergency services, towing, dump truck, flatbed truck and cargo box truck. Some medium duty trucks are also used as a platform for school and commercial buses, and some of the strongest interest has come from the housing and highway construction, landscaping and utility industries.\nOn the outside, the Silverado MD offers a DuraBed, the most functional bed of any pickup with best-in-class cargo volume in every bed length, plus a segment-leading 12 fixed tie-downs.\nThe frame is designed with one-piece straight rails with no rivets or brackets on top to interfere with the mounting of custom-made bodies. There are no obstacles to work around helping to save time and money during the upfit process. Additionally, the truck is designed to be easy to service, with a clamshell hood and a wheel cut of up to 50 degrees that can give technicians better engine access than trucks with conventional hoods.\nChevy also offers more frame lengths compared with key competitors, which can help customers specify the exact truck to suit their needs.\n[nggallery id=939]\nSales\nSee\nChevrolet Silverado sales\nnumbers for global markets.\nMore Chevrolet Silverado Resources\nFollow these links for more Chevrolet Silverado information:\nSilverado news\nChevrolet Silverado news\nChevrolet sales numbers\nChevrolet Silverado sales numbers","attrs_markdown":"- [News](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/)\n- [Podcast](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/podcast\/)\n- [Forum](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/forum\/)\n- [About](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/about\/)\n- [Tip Us](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/tip-us\/)\n- [Jobs](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/careers\/)\n- [Subscribe](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/subscribe\/)\n- [Production Status](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-facilities\/gm-production-status\/)\n\n[![GM Authority](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/headlines\/assets\/images\/logo_home.svg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog)\n\n- [Chevrolet](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/category\/chevrolet\/)\n  -

It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD).\n\nIt’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks.\n\n### Chevrolet Silverado Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 1999 – Present |\n| Layout | Front-Engined, Longitudinal |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada, Middle East |\n| Predecessor | C\/K Series Pickup |\n| Successor | – |\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)\n\n### First-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 1999 – 2007 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico |\n| Platform | T900 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nThe Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra.\n\nThe first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations.\n\nOther Silverado variants included a [high-performance SS model](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/chevrolet-silverado-ss\/), as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle.\n\nIt’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.\n\nSee complete details on first-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\n##### First-Gen Silverado Images\nComing soon.\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2007-Chevrolet-Silverado-HD-Front-Three-Quarter-001.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2007-Chevrolet-Silverado-HD-Front-Three-Quarter-001.jpg)\n\n### Second-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 2007-2014 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico |\n| Platform | T910 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2L V8, 7.4L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 2ML70 4-Speed, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 6-Speed Manual,Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nThe second-generation Chevrolet Silverado arrived for the 2007 model year, utilizing the GMT900 platform and offering more modern safety features over the GMT800 trucks, such as electronic stability control (ESC).\n\nOne major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor.\n\nIt’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers.\n\nNotably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market.\n\nNew components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.\n\nSee complete details on second-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\n##### Second-Gen Silverado Images\n\\[nggallery id=40\\] \\[nggallery id=66\\] \\[nggallery id=131\\] \\[nggallery id=82\\] \\[nggallery id=83\\] \\[nggallery id=350\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Z71-Exterior-01-1024x683.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Z71-Exterior-01.jpg)\n\n### Third-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 2014-2019 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |\n| Platform | K2 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Double, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2 V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 8L90 8-Speed Auto |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nWhen the [2014 Chevy Silverado](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2014-silverado\/) debuted alongside the 2014 GMC Sierra, it was completely redesigned from hood to hitch and was based on the then-new [K2XX architecture](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-platforms\/k2xx\/). A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models.\n\nAside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors.\n\nThe three new engines included:\n\n- [4\\.3L V6 LV3](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/lv3\/)\n- [5\\.3L V8 L83](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/l83\/)\n- [6\\.2L V8 L86](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/l86\/)\n\nOn the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement. And while the driving experience may have become more plush and precise, the Silverado HD’s towing capabilities also improved, allowing buyers to pull up 19,600 pounds.\n\nSee complete details on third-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\n##### Third-Gen Silverado Images\n\\[nggallery id=493\\] \\[nggallery id=572\\] \\[nggallery id=644\\] \\[nggallery id=733\\] \\[nggallery id=755\\] \\[nggallery id=811\\] \\[nggallery id=813\\] \\[nggallery id=826\\] \\[nggallery id=834\\] \\[nggallery id=838\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2020-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-RST-Z71-Cajun-Red-Tintcoat-Crew-Cab-Short-Bed-3L-Duramax-Diesel-LM2-I6-Exterior-066-front-three-quarters-1024x683.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2020-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-RST-Z71-Cajun-Red-Tintcoat-Crew-Cab-Short-Bed-3L-Duramax-Diesel-LM2-I6-Exterior-066-front-three-quarters.jpg)\n\n### Fourth-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 2019 – Present |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |\n| Platform | T1 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Double, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2 V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | Allison 10-Speed Auto, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 8L90 8-Speed Auto, |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nThe 2019 model year was a busy time for the Silverado nameplate. At the time, the 1500 light-duty model underwent a complete overhaul – introducing the fourth-generation of the pickup truck on the [T1 platform](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-platforms\/t1\/) – while the 2500HD and 3500HD mostly carry over from the previous model year with few changes. The Silverado line also expanded to include three all-new [Chevrolet Conventional Medium Duty trucks](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks\/) for the Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 segments – the [2019 Silverado 4500HD](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-4500\/), [2019 Silverado 5500HD](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-5500\/) and [2019 Silverado 6500HD](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks\/2019-chevrolet-silverado-6500hd\/), respectively.\n\nThe current-generation Silverado 1500 features widespread use of mixed materials and [higher-grade alloy steel in the bed](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/2019-chevy-silverado-bed-made-from-high-grade-alloy-steel\/), resulting in a “significant weight reduction” and [improved performance](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/2019-silverado-features-mixed-material-use-resulting-in-significant-weight-reduction-and-improved-performance\/) (improved overall performance and higher fuel economy). The approach is similar to that of the now-discontinued [Cadillac CT6](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/cadillac\/ct6\/2016-ct6\/), which featured an advanced mixed material frame. Amongst the many new features and hardware was the [3\\.0-liter LM2 inline-six](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/lm2\/) turbo diesel Duramax engine, which became the first diesel engine for the Silverado 1500 nameplate, offering a towing capacity of well over 9,000 pounds and an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models.\n\nNotably, the third-gen [K2 Silverado 1500 remained in production](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/current-generation-pickup-will-live-on-alongside-2019-chevrolet-silverado\/) alongside the fourth-gen, and was sold exclusively as a Double Cab configuration under the ‘Silverado Limited’ moniker. The Silverado 1500 Limited would then [return for the 2022 model year](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/gm-to-introduce-2022-chevy-silverado-1500-limited-before-model-refresh\/) as a stop-gap measure until production of the refreshed Silverado light-duty model can begin later in the 2022 or perhaps for the 2023 model year.\n\nWhen the [2020 Silverado](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2020-chevrolet-silverado\/) HD entered the market, it offered a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds, which was an enormous 52 percent improvement over the third-gen Silverado HD model. The renewed powertrain featured an updated Duramax diesel engine option and an all-new Allison 10-speed automatic. The fourth-gen Silvy HD is also substantially larger than its third-gen counter part.\n\nSee complete details on fourth-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\n##### Fourth-Gen Silverado Images\n\\[nggallery id=937\\] \\[nggallery id=996\\] \\[nggallery id=1007\\] \\[nggallery id=1061\\] \\[nggallery id=957\\] \\[nggallery id=1113\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2019-Chevrolet-Silverado-4500HD-exterior-008-1024x765.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2019-Chevrolet-Silverado-4500HD-exterior-008.jpg)\n\n### Silverado Medium Duty\n### Chevrolet Silverado MD Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Assembly Location | Navistar Plant, Springfield, Ohio |\n| Platform |   |\n| Body Style(s) | Regular Cab or Crew Can |\n| Engine(s) | 6\\.6L Duramax V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | Allison 6-Speed Auto |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel-Drive, Four-Wheel-Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada, Mexico |\n\nThe Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty line – which includes 4500, 5500, and 6500 models- was introduced for the [2019 model year](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/chevrolet-medium-duty-trucks\/chevrolet-conventional-medium-duty-trucks\/2019-chevrolet-medium-duty-conventional-truck\/) in collaboration with Navistar. To clarify, the Silverado Medium Duty is the successor to the [Chevrolet Kodiak](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/kodiak\/), which was discontinued in 2009.\n\nAt the time of its release, Chevy stated that the Silverado Medium Duty is “powerful, highly maneuverable, and among the easiest trucks on the market to upfit with specialized bodies, such as dump bodies, rollbacks, freight boxes and more.”\n\nIt’s worth noting that conventional Medium Duty trucks serve as platforms for a wide variety of mostly commercial applications, such as traditional pickup trucks, emergency services, towing, dump truck, flatbed truck and cargo box truck. Some medium duty trucks are also used as a platform for school and commercial buses, and some of the strongest interest has come from the housing and highway construction, landscaping and utility industries.\n\nOn the outside, the Silverado MD offers a DuraBed, the most functional bed of any pickup with best-in-class cargo volume in every bed length, plus a segment-leading 12 fixed tie-downs.\n\nThe frame is designed with one-piece straight rails with no rivets or brackets on top to interfere with the mounting of custom-made bodies. There are no obstacles to work around helping to save time and money during the upfit process. Additionally, the truck is designed to be easy to service, with a clamshell hood and a wheel cut of up to 50 degrees that can give technicians better engine access than trucks with conventional hoods.\n\nChevy also offers more frame lengths compared with key competitors, which can help customers specify the exact truck to suit their needs.\n\n##### Silverado Medium Duty Images\n\\[nggallery id=939\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show-1024x683.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show.jpg)\n\n### Sales\nSee [Chevrolet Silverado sales](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/chevrolet-silverado-sales-numbers\/) numbers for global markets.\n\n### More Chevrolet Silverado Resources\nFollow these links for more Chevrolet Silverado information:\n\n- [Silverado news](http:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/category\/silverado\/)\n  -

It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD).\n\nIt’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks.\n\n### Chevrolet Silverado Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 1999 – Present |\n| Layout | Front-Engined, Longitudinal |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada, Middle East |\n| Predecessor | C\/K Series Pickup |\n| Successor | – |\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)\n\n### First-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 1999 – 2007 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico |\n| Platform | T900 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nThe Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra.\n\nThe first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations.\n\nOther Silverado variants included a [high-performance SS model](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/chevrolet-silverado-ss\/), as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle.\n\nIt’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.\n\nSee complete details on first-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\nComing soon.\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2007-Chevrolet-Silverado-HD-Front-Three-Quarter-001.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2007-Chevrolet-Silverado-HD-Front-Three-Quarter-001.jpg)\n\n### Second-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 2007-2014 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico |\n| Platform | T910 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2L V8, 7.4L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 2ML70 4-Speed, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 6-Speed Manual,Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nThe second-generation Chevrolet Silverado arrived for the 2007 model year, utilizing the GMT900 platform and offering more modern safety features over the GMT800 trucks, such as electronic stability control (ESC).\n\nOne major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor.\n\nIt’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers.\n\nNotably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market.\n\nNew components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.\n\nSee complete details on second-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. *(Coming Soon)*\n\n\\[nggallery id=40\\] \\[nggallery id=66\\] \\[nggallery id=131\\] \\[nggallery id=82\\] \\[nggallery id=83\\] \\[nggallery id=350\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Z71-Exterior-01-1024x683.jpg)](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Z71-Exterior-01.jpg)\n\n### Third-Generation Silverado\n### Quick Facts\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| Model Years | 2014-2019 |\n| Assembly Location | Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |\n| Platform | K2 |\n| Body Style(s) | Cabs: Regular, Double, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long |\n| Engine(s) | Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2 V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 |\n| Transmission(s) | Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 8L90 8-Speed Auto |\n| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive |\n| Availability | U.S.A., Canada |\n\nWhen the [2014 Chevy Silverado](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/chevrolet\/silverado\/2014-silverado\/) debuted alongside the 2014 GMC Sierra, it was completely redesigned from hood to hitch and was based on the then-new [K2XX architecture](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-platforms\/k2xx\/). A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models.\n\nAside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors.\n\nThe three new engines included:\n\n- [4\\.3L V6 LV3](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/lv3\/)\n- [5\\.3L V8 L83](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/l83\/)\n- [6\\.2L V8 L86](https:\/\/gmauthority.com\/blog\/gm\/gm-engines\/l86\/)\n\nOn the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement.

Boilerpipe Text	The Chevrolet Silverado is a full-sized pickup truck that entered production for the 1999 model year. It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD). It’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks. Chevrolet Silverado Quick Facts Model Years 1999 – Present Layout Front-Engined, Longitudinal Drivetrain Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive Availability U.S.A., Canada, Middle East Predecessor C/K Series Pickup Successor – First-Generation Silverado Quick Facts Model Years 1999 – 2007 Assembly Location Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico Platform T900 Body Style(s) Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long Engine(s) Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 Transmission(s) 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual Drivetrain Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive Availability U.S.A., Canada The Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra. The first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations. Other Silverado variants included a high-performance SS model , as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle. It’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.

Second-Generation Silverado Quick Facts Model Years 2007-2014 Assembly Location Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico Platform T910 Body Style(s) Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long Engine(s) Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 6.2L V8, 7.4L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 Transmission(s) 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 2ML70 4-Speed, 6L80 6-Speed Auto, 6-Speed Manual,Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto Drivetrain Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive Availability U.S.A., Canada The second-generation Chevrolet Silverado arrived for the 2007 model year, utilizing the GMT900 platform and offering more modern safety features over the GMT800 trucks, such as electronic stability control (ESC). One major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor. It’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers. Notably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market. New components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.

A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models. Aside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors. The three new engines included: 4.3L V6 LV3 5.3L V8 L83 6.2L V8 L86 On the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement. And while the driving experience may have become more plush and precise, the Silverado HD’s towing capabilities also improved, allowing buyers to pull up 19,600 pounds.

At the time, the 1500 light-duty model underwent a complete overhaul – introducing the fourth-generation of the pickup truck on the T1 platform – while the 2500HD and 3500HD mostly carry over from the previous model year with few changes. The Silverado line also expanded to include three all-new Chevrolet Conventional Medium Duty trucks for the Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 segments – the 2019 Silverado 4500HD , 2019 Silverado 5500HD and 2019 Silverado 6500HD , respectively. The current-generation Silverado 1500 features widespread use of mixed materials and higher-grade alloy steel in the bed , resulting in a “significant weight reduction” and improved performance (improved overall performance and higher fuel economy). The approach is similar to that of the now-discontinued Cadillac CT6 , which featured an advanced mixed material frame. Amongst the many new features and hardware was the 3.0-liter LM2 inline-six turbo diesel Duramax engine, which became the first diesel engine for the Silverado 1500 nameplate, offering a towing capacity of well over 9,000 pounds and an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models. Notably, the third-gen K2 Silverado 1500 remained in production alongside the fourth-gen, and was sold exclusively as a Double Cab configuration under the ‘Silverado Limited’ moniker. The Silverado 1500 Limited would then return for the 2022 model year as a stop-gap measure until production of the refreshed Silverado light-duty model can begin later in the 2022 or perhaps for the 2023 model year. When the 2020 Silverado HD entered the market, it offered a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds, which was an enormous 52 percent improvement over the third-gen Silverado HD model.

It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD). It’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks. ### Chevrolet Silverado Quick Facts \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Model Years \| 1999 – Present \| \| Layout \| Front-Engined, Longitudinal \| \| Drivetrain \| Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive \| \| Availability \| U.S.A., Canada, Middle East \| \| Predecessor \| C/K Series Pickup \| \| Successor \| – \| [![](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg) ### First-Generation Silverado ### Quick Facts \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Model Years \| 1999 – 2007 \| \| Assembly Location \| Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico \| \| Platform \| T900 \| \| Body Style(s) \| Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long \| \| Engine(s) \| Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 \| \| Transmission(s) \| 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual \| \| Drivetrain \| Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive \| \| Availability \| U.S.A., Canada \| The Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra. The first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations. Other Silverado variants included a [high-performance SS model](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/chevrolet-silverado-ss/), as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle. It’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.

One major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor. It’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers. Notably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market. New components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.

A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models. Aside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors. The three new engines included: - [4\.3L V6 LV3](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lv3/) - [5\.3L V8 L83](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l83/) - [6\.2L V8 L86](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l86/) On the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement. And while the driving experience may have become more plush and precise, the Silverado HD’s towing capabilities also improved, allowing buyers to pull up 19,600 pounds.

At the time, the 1500 light-duty model underwent a complete overhaul – introducing the fourth-generation of the pickup truck on the [T1 platform](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-platforms/t1/) – while the 2500HD and 3500HD mostly carry over from the previous model year with few changes. The Silverado line also expanded to include three all-new [Chevrolet Conventional Medium Duty trucks](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/) for the Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 segments – the [2019 Silverado 4500HD](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-4500/), [2019 Silverado 5500HD](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-5500/) and [2019 Silverado 6500HD](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-6500hd/), respectively. The current-generation Silverado 1500 features widespread use of mixed materials and [higher-grade alloy steel in the bed](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/2019-chevy-silverado-bed-made-from-high-grade-alloy-steel/), resulting in a “significant weight reduction” and [improved performance](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/2019-silverado-features-mixed-material-use-resulting-in-significant-weight-reduction-and-improved-performance/) (improved overall performance and higher fuel economy). The approach is similar to that of the now-discontinued [Cadillac CT6](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/ct6/2016-ct6/), which featured an advanced mixed material frame. Amongst the many new features and hardware was the [3\.0-liter LM2 inline-six](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lm2/) turbo diesel Duramax engine, which became the first diesel engine for the Silverado 1500 nameplate, offering a towing capacity of well over 9,000 pounds and an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models. Notably, the third-gen [K2 Silverado 1500 remained in production](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/current-generation-pickup-will-live-on-alongside-2019-chevrolet-silverado/) alongside the fourth-gen, and was sold exclusively as a Double Cab configuration under the ‘Silverado Limited’ moniker. The Silverado 1500 Limited would then [return for the 2022 model year](https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/gm-to-introduce-2022-chevy-silverado-1500-limited-before-model-refresh/) as a stop-gap measure until production of the refreshed Silverado light-duty model can begin later in the 2022 or perhaps for the 2023 model year. When the [2020 Silverado](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2020-chevrolet-silverado/) HD entered the market, it offered a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds, which was an enormous 52 percent improvement over the third-gen Silverado HD model. The renewed powertrain featured an updated Duramax diesel engine option and an all-new Allison 10-speed automatic.

To clarify, the Silverado Medium Duty is the successor to the [Chevrolet Kodiak](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/kodiak/), which was discontinued in 2009. At the time of its release, Chevy stated that the Silverado Medium Duty is “powerful, highly maneuverable, and among the easiest trucks on the market to upfit with specialized bodies, such as dump bodies, rollbacks, freight boxes and more.” It’s worth noting that conventional Medium Duty trucks serve as platforms for a wide variety of mostly commercial applications, such as traditional pickup trucks, emergency services, towing, dump truck, flatbed truck and cargo box truck. Some medium duty trucks are also used as a platform for school and commercial buses, and some of the strongest interest has come from the housing and highway construction, landscaping and utility industries. On the outside, the Silverado MD offers a DuraBed, the most functional bed of any pickup with best-in-class cargo volume in every bed length, plus a segment-leading 12 fixed tie-downs. The frame is designed with one-piece straight rails with no rivets or brackets on top to interfere with the mounting of custom-made bodies. There are no obstacles to work around helping to save time and money during the upfit process. Additionally, the truck is designed to be easy to service, with a clamshell hood and a wheel cut of up to 50 degrees that can give technicians better engine access than trucks with conventional hoods. Chevy also offers more frame lengths compared with key competitors, which can help customers specify the exact truck to suit their needs. ##### Silverado Medium Duty Images \[nggallery id=939\] [![](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show-1024x683.jpg)](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show.jpg) ### Sales See [Chevrolet Silverado sales](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/chevrolet-silverado-sales-numbers/) numbers for global markets. ### More Chevrolet Silverado Resources Follow these links for more Chevrolet Silverado information: -

Readable Markdown	The Chevrolet Silverado is a full-sized pickup truck that entered production for the 1999 model year. It is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra in light-duty (1500, 2500) and heavy-duty (1500HD, 2500HD, 3500HD) configurations, but is also offered as a medium-duty truck (4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD). It’s worth noting that the Silverado moniker was first used to designate a trim level for Suburbans, Tahoes, and C- and K-Series pickup trucks. ### Chevrolet Silverado Quick Facts \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Model Years \| 1999 – Present \| \| Layout \| Front-Engined, Longitudinal \| \| Drivetrain \| Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive \| \| Availability \| U.S.A., Canada, Middle East \| \| Predecessor \| C/K Series Pickup \| \| Successor \| – \| [![](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg)](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/1999-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500.jpg) ### First-Generation Silverado ### Quick Facts \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Model Years \| 1999 – 2007 \| \| Assembly Location \| Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan, USA; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada; Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico \| \| Platform \| T900 \| \| Body Style(s) \| Cabs: Regular, Extended, Crew; Beds: Short, Standard, Long \| \| Engine(s) \| Vortec Series: 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.0L V8, 7.4L V8, 8.1L V8; Duramax Diesel: 6.6L V8 \| \| Transmission(s) \| 4L60-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L65-E 4-Speed Auto, 4L80-E 4-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 5-Speed Auto, Allison 1000 6-Speed Auto, NV3500 5-Speed Manual, NV4500 5-Speed Manual \| \| Drivetrain \| Rear-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive \| \| Availability \| U.S.A., Canada \| The Chevy Silverado nameplate made its debut on the GMT800 platform, replacing the C and K-Series trucks that rode upon the GMT400 platform. Although the Silverado is the Sierra’s corporate twin, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the Sierra nameplate existed one generation prior to the Silverado, meaning the first-gen Silverado matches up with the second-gen Sierra. The first-gen Silverado was offered in quite a few different variants, starting with the Silverado 1500 light-duty model. It’s worth clarifying that a light-duty 2500 model was also available from 1999 through 2004. The well-known heavy-duty (HD) variants entered the market for 2000 model year, though the naming structure was a bit different back then, as a 1500HD model was available. The main differences between the 2500 and 1500HD were the availability of respective body configurations. Other Silverado variants included a [high-performance SS model](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/chevrolet-silverado-ss/), as well as a hybrid model. Notably, the Silverado Hybrid was GM’s first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle. It’s worth highlighting the fact that the first-generation model received a facelift for the 2003 model year.

One major difference compared to the first-gen Silverado 1500 is the use of rack-and-pinion steering versus the use of a steering gear box. The rack-and-pinion design offered greater response and precision compared to the gear box, which helped make the second-gen Silverado 1500 feel a lot more modern than its predecessor. It’s worth noting that second-gen Silverados welcomed the Gen IV lineup of small block V8s, along with a beefier 6.2-liter engine option. Other updates included the 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission, which was standard for all V8-powered 1500 models along with FlexFuel technology. The combination enabled the eight-cylinder Silverado 1500s to offer better fuel economy than the previous-generation, and this feat was furthered by the second-gen’s improved aerodynamic efficiency, which was a major focus for GM’s engineers. Notably, a six-speed manual transmission was available, but only for the Mexican market. New components for heavy-duty models improved stiffness of the second-gen Silvy HD by an impressive 92 percent compared to first-gen Silverado HD models.

A notable configuration change includes the replacement of extended cabs with double cabs, as well as the introduction of High Country models. Aside from the interior design, exterior design, and platform, one of the biggest changes to the third-gen Silverado was under the hood with the arrival of a new EcoTec3 engine family. For starters, the base 4.3-liter V6 engine saw power jump from 195 to 285 horsepower. Every gasoline engine option featured direct-injection as well as cylinder-deactivation, which enabled the trucks to be a bit more fuel efficient than their respective predecessors. The three new engines included: - [4\.3L V6 LV3](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lv3/) - [5\.3L V8 L83](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l83/) - [6\.2L V8 L86](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l86/) On the heavy-duty side, the Bow Tie brand was lauded for gracing big rigs with gentle refinement. And while the driving experience may have become more plush and precise, the Silverado HD’s towing capabilities also improved, allowing buyers to pull up 19,600 pounds.

At the time, the 1500 light-duty model underwent a complete overhaul – introducing the fourth-generation of the pickup truck on the [T1 platform](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-platforms/t1/) – while the 2500HD and 3500HD mostly carry over from the previous model year with few changes. The Silverado line also expanded to include three all-new [Chevrolet Conventional Medium Duty trucks](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/) for the Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 segments – the [2019 Silverado 4500HD](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-4500/), [2019 Silverado 5500HD](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-5500/) and [2019 Silverado 6500HD](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado/2019-chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/2019-chevrolet-silverado-6500hd/), respectively. The current-generation Silverado 1500 features widespread use of mixed materials and [higher-grade alloy steel in the bed](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/2019-chevy-silverado-bed-made-from-high-grade-alloy-steel/), resulting in a “significant weight reduction” and [improved performance](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/2019-silverado-features-mixed-material-use-resulting-in-significant-weight-reduction-and-improved-performance/) (improved overall performance and higher fuel economy). The approach is similar to that of the now-discontinued [Cadillac CT6](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/ct6/2016-ct6/), which featured an advanced mixed material frame. Amongst the many new features and hardware was the [3\.0-liter LM2 inline-six](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lm2/) turbo diesel Duramax engine, which became the first diesel engine for the Silverado 1500 nameplate, offering a towing capacity of well over 9,000 pounds and an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models. Notably, the third-gen [K2 Silverado 1500 remained in production](http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/12/current-generation-pickup-will-live-on-alongside-2019-chevrolet-silverado/) alongside the fourth-gen, and was sold exclusively as a Double Cab configuration under the ‘Silverado Limited’ moniker. The Silverado 1500 Limited would then [return for the 2022 model year](https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/gm-to-introduce-2022-chevy-silverado-1500-limited-before-model-refresh/) as a stop-gap measure until production of the refreshed Silverado light-duty model can begin later in the 2022 or perhaps for the 2023 model year. When the [2020 Silverado](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/2020-chevrolet-silverado/) HD entered the market, it offered a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds, which was an enormous 52 percent improvement over the third-gen Silverado HD model. The renewed powertrain featured an updated Duramax diesel engine option and an all-new Allison 10-speed automatic. The fourth-gen Silvy HD is also substantially larger than its third-gen counter part. See complete details on fourth-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks.

To clarify, the Silverado Medium Duty is the successor to the [Chevrolet Kodiak](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/kodiak/), which was discontinued in 2009. At the time of its release, Chevy stated that the Silverado Medium Duty is “powerful, highly maneuverable, and among the easiest trucks on the market to upfit with specialized bodies, such as dump bodies, rollbacks, freight boxes and more.” It’s worth noting that conventional Medium Duty trucks serve as platforms for a wide variety of mostly commercial applications, such as traditional pickup trucks, emergency services, towing, dump truck, flatbed truck and cargo box truck. Some medium duty trucks are also used as a platform for school and commercial buses, and some of the strongest interest has come from the housing and highway construction, landscaping and utility industries. On the outside, the Silverado MD offers a DuraBed, the most functional bed of any pickup with best-in-class cargo volume in every bed length, plus a segment-leading 12 fixed tie-downs. The frame is designed with one-piece straight rails with no rivets or brackets on top to interfere with the mounting of custom-made bodies. There are no obstacles to work around helping to save time and money during the upfit process. Additionally, the truck is designed to be easy to service, with a clamshell hood and a wheel cut of up to 50 degrees that can give technicians better engine access than trucks with conventional hoods. Chevy also offers more frame lengths compared with key competitors, which can help customers specify the exact truck to suit their needs. \[nggallery id=939\] [![](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show-1024x683.jpg)](https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-Realtree-Edition-Exterior-023-Silverado-logo-badge-2020-Chicago-Auto-Show.jpg) ### Sales See [Chevrolet Silverado sales](https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/chevrolet-silverado-sales-numbers/) numbers for global markets. ### More Chevrolet Silverado Resources Follow these links for more Chevrolet Silverado information: - [Silverado news](http://gmauthority.com/blog/category/silverado/) - [Chevrolet Silverado news](http://gmauthority.com/blog/category/chevrolet/silverado/) - [Chevrolet sales numbers](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/chevrolet-sales-numbers/) - [Chevrolet Silverado sales numbers](http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/silverado/chevrolet-silverado-sales-numbers/)
