This is a first look and confirmation of the ’19 Chevy Silverado 1500 Diesel. The new Silverado—caught at the diesel pump in Death Valley, California—confirmed what we had already suspected for a while. On top of having diesel pumped into the truck, 100% certainty can be gleaned from the fuel door cover, which reads “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Only.” Engine rumors suggest the possibility of a Navistar 3.0L inline six-cylinder diesel engine, but GM also has a 4.5L diesel V6 in its arsenal. Another rumor suggests that GM may try to upgrade the turbo and injectors in the 2.8L four-cylinder diesel in Colorado/Canyon compact pickups for the 1500 models. |
This is an early build prototype for the ’19 Ford GT500. While the GT350 refresh was sent out in May by another shooter purporting it to be the GT500, a Blue Oval inside source has confirmed that this is actually the real deal. The Mustang-based GT500 will build on the GT350’s performance capabilities. This GT500 prototype does not reflect other changes from the already-announced ’18 Mustang mid-cycle refresh. But production versions will have a supercharged 5.2L flat-plane-crank engine through a DCT transmission. Horsepower should be more than in the 707hp Dodge Hellcat models but may fall short of the 808hp Demon. GT500s will also get 20-in. wheels and tires as well as unique styling tweaks. |
