General Motors previewed its new 2020 models and gave center stage to top execs to discuss key industry trends.
Fleet customers can add several exclusive features to the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and more upscale GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks that are entering new generations, according to General Motors.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado LT will be larger, more capable, more fuel efficient, and feature a starting at MSRP that is up to $700 less than the outgoing model.
General Motors will produce the 2019 Silverado's all-new Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel engine at its Flint Engine Operations facility.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is 450 pounds lighter than the previous model-year, features a wider bed, and offers a wider range of trims and engine/transmissions combinations, including a new turbo-diesel engine.
Chevrolet revealed its 2019 Silverado by airlifting the large pickup into the Texas Motor Speedway on Dec. 14 for a select group of automotive publications that included Automotive Fleet.
The Silverado is available fleet specific-packages, including the Work Truck Convenience Package, the LT Fleet Convenience Package, and the LT Fleet Plus Package.
General Motors offers optional equipment for its Chevrolet lineup that's available only to fleets that includes a maintenance credit, deleted interior features, and onboard Wi-Fi plans.
Several light-duty diesel pickups from Nissan, GM, and Ram seek market niches that defy traditional truck categories.
Fleets have increasingly been opting for a factory-installed Telogis solution when purchasing General Motors vehicles, especially Chevrolet Silverado trucks, which will enter the 2016 model year with additional connectivity.
