My New 2019 (not the wrong section!)

[MikeNH]

Been researching the different trucks for a couple months now and in the end, went with a 2019 Silverado 1500 LD which is the carryover body style. It's a Graphite Metallic Z71 with the All Star package which is a pretty well optioned truck. 

 

Been snowing and icing all day so all I got is the pic from the dealership this afternoon:

Hey, Mike nice truck. Is that a double or crew cab? I thought the All-Stars all came with the 20s or did they change that for 2019?

Good choice . Chevy all the way?

Double Cab. This has 18s. I didn't see any with 20s but that doesn't mean much of course. I wanted the 18s so it wasn't something I seeked out. The LD is a bit unique- the All Star package includes heated seats, bedliner and the trailer brake controller which I think were all standalone options prior.

Man, my one biggest regret is my truck didn't have the heated seats. But luckily it's cloth so they aren't to cold. I may eventually do the heated steering wheels swap.

Pardon my ignorance, what does the ld stand for and please explain the rationale behind the carryover body style? 

 

It certainly looks good. Congratulations.

My thinking is that GM wanted at least one 2019 body style that didn't look like a Tundra..........

I assume LD stands for "light duty". As for why the carryover, my assumption is that it's two primary reasons. #1 so they can keep pumping out trucks before they change over the second factory as they tend to flood the market prior to a change in order to have enough trucks for demand. #2 is to offer some of the lower trim better priced trucks. When a new generation comes out you tend to see the higher spec trucks on the market with less incentive, so they still want to have some trucks with steep discounts and lesser options. Not everyone wants to spend the cash on the high country with every single option.

@MikeNH Surprised you went to quirk rather than banks. I find the staff, options and pricing at banks is worlds better than quirk personally. That said I'm right down the road from there so I tend to use that dealer for basic service stuff. GMC side seems less intense than the chevy side somehow.
