Chevrolet Silverado K2XX

2013 – 2019

The first generation Chevrolet Silverado, produced from 1998 to 2007, marked a significant shift in General Motors' truck lineup, introducing a new platform known as GMT800 that underpinned the Silverado and its sibling, the GMC Sierra. The initial models of Silverado/Sierra 1500 and 2500 were launched in 1998 as 1999 models, coexisting with the classic GMT400 C/K trucks for the first year. However, heavy-duty GMT400 pickups continued until 2000, after which the new GMT800 Silverado/Sierra HD was introduced in 2001. In 2001, a 3500 model was added to the lineup, and subsequent upgrades included the introduction of the HD moniker, enhancing the trucks' capabilities. A significant design refresh took place in 2002 for the 2003 models, which incorporated minor aesthetic changes and improvements to the audio and HVAC controls. Key Points: 1. The Chevrolet Silverado first generation was manufactured from 1998 to 2007. 2. It was built on the new GMT800 platform, shared with the GMC Sierra. 3. The initial launch in 1998 included the Silverado/Sierra 1500 and 2500 models. 4. The classic GMT400 C/K trucks were produced alongside the new models initially. 5. The heavy-duty GMT400 pickups were phased out by 2000 in favor of the GMT800 Silverado/Sierra HD
