Especially, if mid-sized to complete scaled vehicles are thought, American citizens could have remarkably fewer choices although the alternatives are full of potential and choosing any one is extremely hard. Amazingly, or maybe not, options are available from the best about three American companies. Sealing horns using this type of 2018 Chevy 1500, we can expect to find out a few Ford F-150s and some Dodge Rams which are just as great and can prove to be extremely competitive. Anticipate a close fight among these 3, and when the most recent variations of all three arrive, a winner might be decided.
2018 Chevy 1500 Engine
General Motors genuinely have some very subtle levels of competition.

This said the actual figures could be supposed to hover anywhere about $30,000 for this predicted 2018 Silverado 1500. This shape is no uncertainty competing but anxiety not, the real existence of new changes and latest functions might be assuredly present.
Nonetheless, if to include more capabilities towards the cart, like stainless coated sizeable 20 ” wheels in addition to AWD, in addition to automated air conditioning seating and safety regulates, then statistics somewhere in proximity to about $50,000 might be envisioned. This price as well, is very very competitive, thinking about the standard of functions just being supplied.

Fiat Chrysler Still Believes in Cars
Remember Fiat Chrysler’s second Five-Year Plan, outlined for the 2014–2018 model years? Things looked bleak for the Chrysler 300, as it was slated to be replaced by a front-drive sedan sharing a platform with the Pacifica (then named Town & Country) minivan and a new three-row midsize crossover. Dodge’s prospects were more promising, with the Charger and Challenger to be downsized and placed on Alfa Romeo’s rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform shared with the Giulia and the Stelvio.
By the time then CEO Sergio Marchionne provided that outline, we had learned that Fiat Chrysler was only indicating ambitions—a large number of the product programs detailed would be dramatically changed or cancelled. And beside, the Giorgio platform already was over budget and behind schedule.
Last June, at the presentation for Five-Year Plan III in Balocco, Italy, weeks before Marchionne’s untimely death, he answered my question about the status of those Giorgio ambitions for Dodge Charger and Challenger. “I’m convinced that we don’t need to go as far as the Giorgio architecture,” he replied, adding that Giorgio’s European dynamics were ill-suited to the Dodges’ outlandish American muscle-car personalities. The next Charger and Challenger would instead arrive on a highly evolved version of their current platform, one that Fiat Chrysler maintains had already been highly evolved away from its hand-me-down Mercedes-Benz roots.
More recently, Steve Beahm spoke with me about Fiat Chrysler’s plans for its car divisions, including Fiat, Chrysler, SRT, and Dodge. As head of the automaker’s car brands, he’s in charge of the entirety of the divisions and also helms the Fiat 500X, Dodge Durango, and Chrysler Pacifica minivans, among others.
“I can’t deny that there has been a trend of fewer passenger cars across the industry,” he told me. “I think that our company saw that maybe quicker than some others. And we made steps or changes within the company to deal with that. What we decided was that once that happened, our job was to [ask,] ‘How do we differentiate within the brands that are going to remain passenger-car brands?’ ”
The Dodge Charger plays in the full-size car segment, but Beahm says it’s “really a four-door muscle car that’s playing in a full-size car segment. What we do is we try to make our vehicles look different.” It’s this strategy that no doubt also plays into the steady stream of Charger and Challenger special editions and variants released by the company.
Such rear-wheel-drive cars are not at a disadvantage for fuel economy. The V-6 rear-drive versions of the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 are rated for 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, topping the lame-duck Chevrolet Impala FWD V-6’s 19/28 mpg. The new, FWD, non-hybrid V-6 Toyota Avalon is better at 22/31 mpg, although Fiat Chrysler might be able to match that in the future by adding the 48-volt electrical system available on some versions of the Ram 1500 and Jeep Wrangler, which recaptures some energy to power accessories and make the powertrain more efficient.
The Dodge Challenger V-6 automatic’s fuel efficiency also is competitive with similar Ford Mustangs and Chevy Camaros, though those competitors’ turbo fours are up to 3 mpg city and 2 mpg highway better. While most of us would choose some form of Hemi V-8 for our Chargers and Challengers, the V-6 automatics are the volume models. It’s that level of volume that would make a difference in Fiat Chrysler’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy number.
When I asked Beahm if he’s confident the RWD Charger/Challenger platform is good enough to stick around for a few more years, he replied, “I’m going to use a bad phrase here, maybe. It’s like fine wine, it keeps getting better with time.” It doesn’t hurt that Dodge Charger is the bestseller in the full-size sedan segment, albeit including police-vehicle sales, which it doesn’t break out from civilian sales. Meanwhile, the next bestselling full-size sedan, the Chevy Impala, has been discontinued.
Dodge sold 80,226 Chargers last year, and while that’s down by 9.2 percent from 2017, Impala sales fell 25.5 percent, to 56,556 cars. The Chrysler 300 was third, at 46,593, off 9.1 percent. Combine the Dodge and Chrysler, and they sold a healthy 126,819. Will Dodge be able to sell that many Chargers on its own when the RWD 300 is discontinued? “You know, in terms of its (sales) performance, it’s doing great,” Beahm says of the Chrysler 300. “We like where it’s positioned; it provides great value. It’s a lot of car for the money.”
Then why discontinue it?
“We haven’t announced we will discontinue it. I mean, we’ve announced we’ll sell it through this year.”
But the old Five-Year Plan, the one from five years ago, was to move it to the minivan’s FWD platform. I told Beahm not to do that.
“Yeah, I think we agree with your opinion.”
While the full-size sedan segment is shrinking with the Impala, Buick LaCrosse, and Ford Taurus about to be killed off, it’s not disappearing. If the Chrysler 300 manages to hold on beyond the 2019 model year, there will be as many RWD cars in the segment (which does not include the RWD luxury models from Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Genesis, etc.) as there will be FWD ones.
Now, I’m not an anti-FWD enthusiast, and I’d point to the Hyundai Veloster as an example of how good front-drive dynamics can be. But when a car gets to a certain overall length, RWD provides not just better design proportion, but also better balance and handling. Generally, you don’t have to stiffen up the suspension on an otherwise cushy RWD sedan to reduce understeer.
Even big, tall SUVs benefit from longitudinal-engine, RWD-based platforms, as Ford Motor Company has learned from its new Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, even if they went rear-drive mostly to put volume into a next-generation Mustang and probably a Lincoln sedan. Unfortunately, Cadillac, which has aggressively returned to RWD cars in the last couple of decades didn’t do the same for its new XT6 SUV.
The lesson is, if you’re going to continue to build sedans as others leave the market, maybe they should be long, low, and expressive, and rear-drive for the more enthusiast-oriented buyers. A company’s mainstream customers go for the most practical, most capacious SUVs in their segments, anyway. This strategy seems to be working for Fiat Chrysler.

10 Highlights From the 2017 SEMA Show
If you’re looking for immaculate show cars equipped with the latest and greatest aftermarket parts, you’ll find them at the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you’re looking for serious race cars, OEM-built concept cars, or the weirdest custom builds you’ve ever seen, you’ll find those at SEMA, too. The point is, SEMA has a little something for every type of car fan. Here are some of Motor Trend’s cool finds at this year’s SEMA Show.
Hyundai BTR Edition Elantra Sport Concept
This is an example of how to take a humble sedan and turn it into something outrageous. The Hyundai Elantra Sport, which is probably one of the best kept secrets among sporty compacts, gets remade into a track-capable, bright orange bewinged four-door that can conquer a track without sacrificing its daily usability. – Stefan Ogbac
Toyota C-HR R-Tuned
This concept shows the C-HR could’ve made a great hatchback. A 600-hp 2.4-liter I-4 plus a five-speed manual transmission means this is quirky little crossover packs some serious firepower under the hood. Add to that Brembo brakes, racing tires, an aero kit that produces 300 pounds of downforce and a DG-Spec Motion Control Suspension that also lowers the car and you’ve got a proper hot hatch that can back up its extreme look with supercar-beating performance. Hopefully this is a hint that Toyota will eventually build a more powerful variant of the C-HR that will cater to buyers looking for a sportier small crossover. – Stefan Ogbac
Hyundai i30 N Race Car
Although the i30 N isn’t being sold in the U.S., the fact that the race car is here is a hint that our first N car isn’t too far away. This particular i30 N race car that Hyundai brought to the show has the special distinction of being one of the survivors of this year’s 24 Hours of the Nürburgring, placing fourth after performing reliably throughout the race. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbo-four paired to a six-speed manual transmission. That powertrain makes 246 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque (279 lb-ft with overboost) in the standard i30 N or 271 hp with the Performance package. – Stefan Ogbac
Honda’s Entire Booth
Race everything. That’s the message Honda seemed to be sending at its booth at this year’s SEMA Show. Race car iterations of the Acura NSX, Honda Civic, Acura TLX, and Honda Ridgeline were all present at Honda’s booth this year alongside their production performance cars. Additionally, Honda and Acura also brought cool project cars like an all carbon fiber NSX and the NSX “Dream Project” by ScienceofSpeed. Perhaps the two center pieces of Honda’s booth were the ARX-05 Daytona Prototype International race car, which will participate at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January 2018, and the Civic Type R crate engine, which means you’ll now be able to stuff that 306-hp turbocharged and VTEC-equipped four-pot into any car that it will fit in, provided you’ve got a racing license and competition history. –Stefan Ogbac
The Cool Hologram Toyota Camry
Sitting quietly in the Toyota booth is a hologram that depicts the 2018 Toyota Camry in many different colors. It slowly brings out the car’s outlines before showing parts of the interior such as the seats. There are also mechanical parts like the radiator, alternator, and front suspension bits, which are then covered by the hologram.  – Stefan Ogbac
The Baller Hauler by Air Lift Performance
Outside of the show in the convention center parking lot, we saw this insane slammed Isuzu NPR flatbed truck carrying a matching classic Toyota AE86. If this doesn’t scream SEMA, we don’t know what does. – Carol Ngo
1973 BMW 3.0 CSL by Willy Izaquirre
This beautiful BMW build was caught at the Toyo Tires Treadpass just outside of the convention center. It features a turbocharged S52 engine swap. It also features a Group 4 widebody conversion with center-lock BBS wheels. What a beauty. – Carol Ngo
Robert Downey Jr.’s 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302
Painted “PPG Khaki yellow” and sitting on custom HRE wheels, this Mustang Boss 302 looks fantastic. But it’s not the color, the carbon-fiber body panels, or even the Roush-supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 under the hood that make this car so special. It’s the interior. Instead of continuing the carbon-fiber treatment inside the cabin, Robert Downey Jr. decided to use leather, cloth, and a whole lot of carpet. The result is an interior that looks absolutely incredible. Hopefully, this is a trend that catches on in the future. – Collin Woodard
Dodge Hellcat Crate Engine
We were excited to hear that Honda will sell a Civic Type R crate engine and can’t wait for someone to use it to create their own Honda Fit Type R. But Dodge’s announcement is even bigger news. Yes, it’s pricey, but come on. It’s a 707-hp engine you can shove into pretty much anything you want. Hellcat Wrangler? Hellcat Ram 1500? Hellcat Miata? Hellcat S2000? Please. Hellcat everything. – Collin Woodard
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 AEV Concept
American Expedition Vehicles is known mostly for the Brute, a Hemi-powered Jeep Wrangler pickup truck it builds. But for SEMA this year, AEV teamed up with Chevrolet to turn the ZR2 into an awesome overland adventurer, and the result is one seriously cool truck. Sadly, there are no plans to put the AEV-modified Colorado into production, so there’s a good chance this stays a concept. That’s too bad, because AEV would probably sell every one of them it built, especially if it could sell them through Chevy dealers. Then again, if there’s enough demand, maybe both companies will change their minds. – Collin Woodard

Century Mark: Chevrolet Celebrates 100 Years of Trucks with Silverado and Colorado Centennial Editions
Chevrolet’s truck business turns 100 years old in the 2018 model year, and there is no better place for it to kick off the celebrations than at the Lone Star State gala that is the Texas State Fair, in the heart of truck country. Headlining the festivities, which Chevy said will continue over the next few months, are the 2018 Silverado 1500 and Colorado Centennial Editions.
Available only as off-road-oriented Z71 models, the lightly bedazzled commemorative pickups are notable for their Centennial Blue paint and the “heritage inspired” bow-tie emblems adorning their grilles, front doors, and tailgates. Ringed in chrome with dark blue centers in place of the traditional Chevy gold, the special bow tie also sports the word Chevrolet in a chrome  script that harks back to some of the brand’s earliest rigs, including the original 1918 One-Ton. Both trucks also feature 100-year badges on the front doors, chrome tow hooks, and more bow ties on their spray-in bedliners and floor mats.
Other additions for the four-wheel-drive, crew-cab-only Silverado version include the LTZ trim level of equipment, 22-inch painted alloy wheels with chrome inserts, and yet another chrome bow tie on the steering wheel. The mid-size Colorado Centennial is available as either a crew cab or an extended cab, with rear- or four-wheel drive. It’s further dressed up with 18-inch wheels, a body-color rear bumper and grille surround, and chrome mirror caps, door handles, and body moldings.
Chevrolet hasn’t released pricing yet for either model, but the modest dress-ups should add around $3000 to the prices of the trucks’ non-celebratory counterparts. A regular 2018 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71, for example, starts at $50,485 with a 5.3-liter V-8 and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The extended-cab 2018 Colorado Z71 4×2 with a 2.5-liter inline-four and a six-speed automatic has a base sticker of $30,465, with starting MSRPs surpassing $40K as you add the crew-cab body, four-wheel drive, and the larger 3.6-liter V-6 or the turbo-diesel 2.8-liter inline-four.
Because 100 years is a pretty big deal, Chevrolet also has cooked up some additional birthday tie-ins for the bow-tie faithful: a Centennial-edition run of Phoenix bass boats and 24-foot enclosed inTech trailers, both of which are done up to match the pickups, as well as a custom 1967 Chevrolet C-10 show truck that will be on display at this year’s SEMA show. The party continues with the nationwide rollout of the brand’s Truck Legends program (it was previously only offered in Texas), which is a free membership-based program that rewards Chevy’s most loyal truck owners with swag, an online community, and access to special Chevrolet events and experiences.

2019 Chevy Silverado Special Edition Release Date, Price, Interior
New Post has been published on http://carpowertrain.com/2019-chevy-silverado-special-edition-release-date-price-interior/
2019 Chevy Silverado Special Edition Release Date, Price, Interior
2019 Chevy Silverado Special Edition Release Date, Price, Interior – The project in improvement which is 2019 Chevy Silverado gets more and more even closer to as a concluded merchandise. To ensure this statement of ours, we have a new set of spy images. In contrast to before time around, there exists a good take a look at the interior on this truck. To mention that we are not surprised will be an understatement since the changes that this cabin of Silverado has undergone are little to nothing. The controls are the section of the interior that has been an issue of redesign and today capabilities some spoke design. Also, it has browse tires for both ends of the best-placed spokes which can be there to create show menu less difficult.
Centre portion of the dash is, like generally, restricted to the screen and features the most current age group of MyLink, and it has eight preset shortcuts. Bellow the screen there is a group of control keys and knobs which presumably assist for climate management. Transferring even under that and that we have 110V Air conditioning strength, several Universal serial bus ports (at this point we never know the actual number), and a standard 12V DC electric outlet. The area of the gaming system that is placed above functions what seems to be OnStar contact button, top looking at, and admittance lamps, and an integrated HomeLink transmitter that accompanies a few control keys.
Identical to Ford with F-150 Chevy will not alter a lot of in order not too annoyed the dedicated buyers, and that is certainly why shaft shifter is going to be a part of 2019 Silverado.
Furthermore, for the interior, we also have a significantly better look at the away from the truck than it had been the truth prior to. In the front fascia, we have now observed a whole new pair of front lights that now feature a full Brought modern technology. Unfamiliar with them may be the group of some reflectors that are placed in the higher portion of the lighting fixtures. Amongst speed check mules a number of them searched like these are an element of lower-toned, with twin rear exhaust piping, which differs from standard appropriate located outputs. When you appearance very carefully, you will notice the absence of venture suggestion that is a very clear indication of a petrol run unit.
2019 Silverado Release Date
Should you be wondering, when will we have the ability to so a completed design, you will discover a few responses? Probably the most active are that we will view it in the Tx Express Acceptable. This manifestation is on schedule in Sept. If new Silverado misses this opportunity, the odds move towards the Los Angeles Electric motor Demonstrate. As you already know, this car show is regularly held in November, and that is the situation now. The latest solution, which means that the release date of 2019 Chevy Silverado is set for the starting of the subsequent calendar year, is Detroit Auto Show. We all know that the show is kept in Detroit in January. 2018 discharge is a likelihood, but we always keep our hopes higher, and our fingertips crossed for any 2017 launch.
03/08/2017 Report: The Silverado is the second biggest selling truck in the US industry but in spite of that numerous said it is additionally the very best. Although this was accurate in the event, it was published, this is not the situation. To obtain back at the top GM is preparing a recent model. So far the latest truck has become just a gossip, but recently the 2019 Chevy Silverado has become observed testing in the Arctic. The best thing relating to this camouflaged vehicle is that it was a complete prototype which implies Chevrolet is nearing the end from the development method. However though, to date, there may be minimal info readily available regarding this. From your spy photos, we can get a full idea of the actual size of the truck, but that is about it. Right now we know two things for certain.
To begin with, GM is intensely criticizing the use of aluminum in trucks. They are saying aluminum increases repair charges plus it does not make much sensation within a truck. While we often concur, light weight aluminum has its benefits that happen to be very obvious. It is thinner. Hence, it gives a better payload than it is frequently and it is also safe from rust. These on your own must be more than sufficient to make GM change their mind.
Next, despite the fact that GM is waging a battle from lightweight aluminum, it would appear that they could build a lightweight aluminum alloy to use on their own 2019 Chevy Silverado. This became merely a rumor, but it has been verified not that very long ago that this truck will probably be noticeably lighter than just before. This could just be attained with lightweight aluminum, expressly given that a vehicle will need to have a beefy operating gear to pull and go in off of streets. The price will likely not transform significantly so expect it to charge from all around $28,000.
2019 Chevy Silverado Redesign
2019 Chevy Silverado Special Edition
Although Chevrolet is camouflaging the development mule as a Ford, it is evident the truck is the long term Silverado. The prototype is undoubtedly a team-cab version using a simple bed. There are many interesting design remarks like the rectangle twin-exhausts built-in beneath the back end bumper.
2019 Chevy Silverado Spied
In addition to that, it appears to acquire a brand new front fascia. This present a far more simple grille than just before and so considerably it seems to be they will often bypass the large levels of chrome for after. When parked around a current era model, the 2019 Chevy Silverado appears to be a bit higher and broader too. In addition to that, the tire arches are bigger while the wheels do are smaller compared to well before. Soon enough we anticipate seeing advancement mule for the other versions which will eliminate a number of the suspense surrounding it.
2019 Chevy Silverado Release Date
Unfortunately, it is still quite at the start of growth, and so the cabin of your approaching Silverado continues to be a nicely guarded secret. Luckily, however, Chevrolet is resolved on simpleness in the past several years. Their types, such as crossovers, Sports utility vehicles or automobiles, feature a minimalist dash panel, fantastic resources and an amazing list of features. We have been very certain the newest Silverado will not be far away from their other versions.
2019 Silverado Engine
2019 Chevy Silverado Engine
V8 engines are fantastic however they do not signify the longer term. Emissions requirements are receiving severe, and naturally aspirated engines will not successfully pass them in no time. For that rumors suggest, the 2019 Chevy Silverado is going to present new turbocharged V6 gas motors. The base kind of the truck will more than likely receive a smaller sized 3.6 liter normally aspirated V6 supplying close to 330 horsepower and 280 lb-feet of torque. The two 5.3 and 6.2-liter motors, on the other hand, might get changed by sometimes a 3 or 3.6 liter twin-turbo V6. Possibly of which may make up to 400 horsepower and over 400 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to energy the less massive Silverado.
2019 Chevy Silverado Interior
Some even advised that GM could build a higher-torque 3 liter twin-turbo V6 supplying all around 325 hp and northern of 400 lb-feet of torque since their the middle of the smooth engine. Just like before, back tire drive is going to probably be typical while some wheel drive process, with an optionally available back LSD, will be provided is a non-obligatory added. The current 6 and eight velocities intelligent gearbox will unquestionably be discontinued. With their location, we ought to visit a one ten pace auto which will considerably increase gasoline ingestion.
We listed all its rivals bellow, however, you, just like us, know just in which competitors truck is new Silverado seeking. The Ford F-150 is archival which must be dethroned. Consequently why Chevy will probably use its premium truck the same thing Ford do with its. The project is in development, but still during early stages. Nonetheless, the particular date is set. 2019 Silverado is going to be introduced at 2018 Detroit Auto Show. NAIAS has for a long time been the main stage for advertising new vehicles which are adored inside the Says. Summertime released in car dealerships is the thing that awaits us right after, and we genuinely can’t hang on to find out what Chevrolet holds for us.
Competitors
People say that the only method to come to be far better is always to take on an individual and also to outshine them set new limitations for yourself. It is an daily likelihood in the vehicle business exactly where competitors fight the other to remain on top. The truck section within the United States is among individuals where large seafood battle probably the most. The list of Silverado’s rivals certainly begins with 2018 Ford F-150 and moves throughout 2019 GMC Sierra, 2019 RAM 1500, along with 2017 Nissan Titan and all around 2018 Toyota Tundra.
