DETROIT -- General Motors is expanding the price range of the redesigned by lowering the starting price of several entry-level models and increasing pricing on some high-end trims.
The starting price of a 2019 Silverado Work Truck will decrease $400 to $29,795, while the LTZ will increase $700 to $44,495. The top-end High Country will start at $54,495 -- $1,000 more than the outgoing model -- and the high-volume LT trim will be up as much as $700 less than the current model, starting at $38,395 for 2019.
All pricing figures include a transportation charge of $1,495.
Despite increased technology, the price is in-line with the $30,195-$53,495 range for comparably .
For example, the High Country introduces several new standard features, including: push-button start, stop-start technology, active aero shutters, enhanced LED exterior lighting, dual exhaust outlets, power up/down tailgate and a host of safety tech such as lane change alert and side blind zone alert.
The Silverado is expected to begin arriving in dealerships this fall alongside its GMC Sierra sibling. Details about the Sierra haven't been released yet.

GM on Friday also released EPA fuel economy estimates for pickups equipped with the automaker's 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 engines with a new Dynamic Fuel Management system that continuously adjusts the number of cylinders firing -- down to two -- in various combinations based on performance needs.
The technology, however, will deliver modest fuel economy gains in-line with comparable Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 models, according to EPA estimates.
Silverado models equipped with the 5.3-liter V-8 with an eight-speed automatic and rear wheel drive will achieve an EPA-estimated 17 miles per gallon city, 23 highway, and 19 combined -- 1 mpg better than the engine it replaces.
Models equipped with four-wheel-drive and the 6.2 -liter V-8 and 10-speed automatic transmission will offer an EPA-estimated 16 miles per gallon city, 20 highway and 17 combined -- the same combined as a comparably equipped 2018 Silverado.
The lack of fuel economy gains could be attributable to the design and larger size of the next-gen Silverado, which weighs up to 450 pounds lighter (crew cab, short-bed models with the 5.3-liter V-8 and max towing package) than the outgoing model.
EPA estimates for the other engines, including GM's new 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbo engine and Duramax 3.0-liter turbo diesel, are not yet available. Here's a look at what GM has released so far on the engine lineup:
U.S. sales of the Silverado rose 1.9 percent to 585,864 last year while the large pickup market grew 5.6 percent. During the first quarter, Silverado's U.S. deliveries grew 5.5 percent to 135,545 vehicles. GM is expected to release second-quarter sales results on Tuesday.
