Silverado Concepts Show Personalization Possibilities

Chevrolet
Chevrolet introduced a stylized 2019 Silverado High Country today at the State Fair of Texas, highlighting Chevrolet's collection of truck accessories and performance parts for the all-new Silverado.
The High Country is one of four concepts Chevrolet will introduce this fall, each designed to showcase how customers can accessorize the new Silverado to suit their personalities.
"We know every truck customer is unique, which is why the Silverado offers eight trims, each with a different combination of technology, performance and design," said Hugh Milne, Silverado marketing manager. "With a full catalog of accessories and performance parts, we offer exponentially more ways for customers to build their ideal truck. And, unlike certain aftermarket components, these are designed, engineered and validated to the same engineering standards as the Silverado itself, and backed by Chevrolet."
The catalog of genuine Chevrolet performance parts and accessories includes step kits and tonneau covers, illuminated bowtie emblems, cargo bed storage boxes, brake systems and suspension lift kits. These parts were designed and developed along with the new truck, for seamless design and performance integration. GM-designed parts are validated to the same rigorous standards as the factory-installed components, and are warranted by Chevrolet when installed at the Chevrolet dealer.1 Associated Accessories are developed and backed by third-party companies, and are reviewed by Chevrolet to determine proper fitment.1
Customers can shop online for the parts at Chevrolet.com/accessories and choose home or dealer delivery, as well as select dealer installation.
All four personalized Silverado models will go on display at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 30-Nov. 2. They include:

About Chevrolet Silverado Performance parts
Chevrolet Performance parts for the new Silverado were developed to make the most of what the propulsion, braking and suspension systems can offer. For example, the following Chevrolet Performance parts for the new Silverado are 50-state legal and their installation does not void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
Chevrolet Performance Two-inch Suspension Lift. Leverages the same components as the factory two-inch lift on Silverado Trail Boss models. Available for most 2019 Silverado configurations, it offers new front and rear monotube dampers, front half-shafts (for 4x4 models), jounce bumpers, spacers and replacement fasteners. Also included is a dealer-installed electronic power steering calibration and front camera reconfiguration (if equipped), ensuring that all driver assist systems are maintained. (Expert installation by dealer is recommended.)
Chevrolet Performance Front and Rear Brake Upgrade System. For braking by the numbers, the Chevrolet Performance Brake Upgrade System simply adds up. The system centers around 410 mm x 32 mm (16.1-inch x 1.3-inch) Duralife(TM) rotors that feature a hardened surface to reduce corrosion and provide quieter braking with less vibration. Coupled with Bright Red Chevrolet Performance Brembo(R) six-piston fixed aluminum calipers, this upgrade system means serious business with a 22 percent increase in rotor area over stock and 89 percent increase in brake pad area to increase system thermal capacity. Color-matched red rear brake calipers are also available. (Systems require at least 20-inch wheels. Only GM-approved wheels and tires should be used. See dealer for additional details and restrictions.)
Chevrolet Performance Cold Air Intakes for 5.3L and 6.2L engines. Offering 13 percent and 17 percent airflow restriction improvements, respectively, over the stock 5.3L and 6.2L air intake systems, these are designed to let the Silverado's V-8 engines breathe deeper and add a performance appearance under the hood. Both air intakes are 50 state legal.
Chevrolet Performance Cat-Back Exhaust Systems in 5.3L Single Side Exit, 5.3L Dual Exit and 6.2L Dual Exit. With an increase in horsepower of up to 7, 10 and 13 respectively, these systems also reduce backpressure and are fabricated with 304 stainless steel pipes.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is on sale now, offered in eight trims and six propulsion combinations. MSRP starts at $29,795 (excludes tax, title, license, optional equipment and dealer fees.)
