The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado will come standard with a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, General Motors announced today.

The new turbo four, which makes 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque, will replace the 4.3-liter V6 as the base-level engine in the 2019 Silverado LT and the new Silverado RST. The engine will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. GM has yet to provide fuel economy estimates and towing figures for the 2.7-liter engine.

If you’re not interested in a turbocharged four-cylinder pickup – not to worry. The 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 will stick around, serving as the base level engine in the lower Silverado trim levels – the Work Truck (WT), Custom and Custom Trail Boss. Those models won’t be available with the 2.7-liter engine. The LT and RST will be available with the 5.3-liter V8, however, as well as the new 3.0-liter inline-six diesel.

If you want the 6.2-liter V8, it’s only offered on the upper echelon of the Silverado lineup – the LTZ and High Country. Both of those trim levelfs will come standard with the 5.3-liter V8.

Chevy says Silverado production will commence in the third quarter when it begins building crew-cab V8 models. In the fourth quarter, production will expand to include regular- and double-cab trucks, it says, in addition to V6 and 2.7L turbo equipped models. The new Duramax 3.0L inline-six turbodiesel won’t be available until early 2019.

Full pricing details will be available closer to the 2019 Silverado’s launch.
