Chevy gave us the basic facts of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's engine lineup when the truck debuted in Detroit earlier this year, but the automaker kept specs and other technical details close to the vest. Now, GM has given us a lot more info on the new pickup's drivetrain options, including a complete download on an all-new turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder—the 2019 Silverado's surprise fifth engine choice.

GM announcing it will offer a four-cylinder engine in a full-size truck is the big news of the day, but we also learn much more about the 2019 Silverado's other engines. The 4.3-liter V-6 will continue to be offered as the base engine in the Work Truck, Custom, and Custom Trail Boss, making the same 285 hp and 305 lb-ft as last year. Power ratings also remain the same on the 5.3-liter V-8 and 6.2-liter V-8, at 355 hp/383 lb-ft and 420 hp/460 lb-ft, respectively, but the engines are updated with stop/start tech and GM's Dynamic Fuel Management system that can shut off as many as seven cylinders. Sadly, GM doesn't give us any more details on its new 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-six, which is due next year.
