Pickup trucks continue to post the biggest sales numbers for American auto manufacturers, and there’s no sign the momentum will slow down. Chevrolet, GMC, and Ram all have brand-new offerings, and Ford continues to refine its bestselling F-series. Following slow drips of information about the powertrains, trims, and packaging for the 2019 Silverado, General Motors has announced pricing for its biggest-volume vehicle, with the mainstream LT trim dropping by $700 and its upper-level High Country increasing by $1000.

The Work Truck remains the cheapest Silverado available, but Chevrolet has changed its configuration. For 2019, the standard two-wheel-drive work truck with the 4.3-liter V-6 now is a regular cab with a long bed and costs $29,795. That combo on a 2018 model was $30,195. However, the 2018 model also offers a Work Truck with a regular cab and a standard rear box for $29,795, so the truck’s base price effectively remains the same. The 2019 Work Truck also can be ordered with a double cab and a standard bed for $33,695.

Moving up from there, the base formula for the remaining trims is a double cab with a standard bed and two-wheel drive. The Custom powered by the 4.3-liter V-6 opens at $36,095, while the LT with a standard turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four starts at $38,395 ($300 less than the 2018 model). The RST also with the 2.7-liter turbo starts at $40,295, and the LTZ with the 5.3-liter V-8 opens at $44,495.

The Custom Trail Boss, available only with four-wheel drive, starts at $40,995, while the 4x4 LT Trail Boss is $47,395. All of the above trims can be upgraded from a double cab and a standard bed to a crew cab and a short bed for $2400 extra. The top-trim High Country with the 6.2-liter V-8 and the 10-speed automatic can only be ordered as a crew cab and short bed and starts at $54,495, $1000 more than the 2018 model.

Chevrolet did not specify how much it costs to upgrade from two-wheel-drive to a four-by-four setup, but for 2018 models, it was about $4000 on most trims. The company was also mum on the price of the Z71 Off-Road Equipment package, which is standard on Trail Boss models but available on all models. Additional details should be available soon.
