Not only do the new materials make the Silverado stronger, but the truck is also said to be lighter.

At a glance it's apparent the new truck is more aerodynamic, with a sloping roofline and square-jawed front end.

The model shown in Texas is the 2019 Silverado LT Trailboss.

A helicopter carried the 2019 Silverado through the sky and gently lowered it onto the race track's infield.

GM, in a statement, said the new Silverado will have a high-strength steel bed floor, and use "mixed materials" to achieve "a significant reduction in total weight".

But Chevy used Ford's switch to attack the F-150 in comparison ads, saying heavy, sharp objects would put holes through the aluminum truck bed while only denting the Silverado. The Silverado is Chevy's first all-new product since Ford rocked the truck world at the 2014 show with its aluminum-skin F-150.

This weekend, Chevrolet is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its truck lineup, but it just surprised everyone with the debut of the all-new 2019 Chevy Silverado at the Texas Motor Speedway. The Silverado sold more than 570,000 light-duty pickups in 2016 - and almost 800,000 when combined with its cousin, GMC Sierra.

That's because the average transaction price for a truck is nearly $40,000, according to market research firm J.D. Power. "When our designers looked at this over the years, they realized this is what set Chevy trucks apart".
