2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. 2500 vs. 3500

The Chevrolet Silverado is available as three models: the 1500, the 2500, and the 3500. With so many options, it can be difficult to choose which truck is right for your Sarasota needs. The biggest difference to note is that the 2500 and 3500 are both heavy-duty models, while the 2019 Silverado 1500 is not, though it still packs a powerful punch! Explore their differences in performance, towing, and configurations with Cox Chevrolet to help make your decision a little easier.
