The floor and bedsides are still made of steel, but the tailgate, hood and doors are now aluminium.

However, U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016 and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars come back to dealer lots to compete with new ones. And despite a wheelbase up to 3.9-inches longer on some models, when you compare the old Crew Cab shortbox to the new 2019 Crew Cab shortbox, the new model is 450 pounds lighter.

The new Silverado, a highlight of the show, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. New equipment will include the first power tailgate on a pickup and a 3.0L inline-six Duramax diesel to save fuel and reduce emissions while maintaining towing capacity.

General Motors Co on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the US auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at Detroit's auto show.

Fiat Chrysler plans to unveil a new generation of its Ram pickup truck at Detroit's auto show on Monday. Crew-cab models now have 3 inches more rear-seat legroom, which means that front passengers have 44.5 inches of front legroom, while rear seat passengers get 43.8 inches of legroom. The tailgate can be lowered with the key fob or a button inside the truck.

Other visual changes to the front include a new grille with "Chevrolet" cut into a broad center bar some models, while others get Chevy's traditional bow tie emblem. In all, there will be six different engine and transmission combinations.
