If you're weighing a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for strong towing, and modern infotainment with smartphone integration. The honest trade-off: fuel economy modest for truck class. This example sold for $33,995, showed 74,038 km and is rated an official 11.8 L/100km combined.

This 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 in sleek Black is ready to work or play, with 74,038km on the clock and a dependable 4.3L V6 under the hood. Equipped with a Trailer Tow Package, Tow/Haul Mode, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, and a spray-in style bed liner, it's built for London, Ontario drivers who need capability without compromise. Priced at $33,995, this is a lot of truck for the money.

What stood out about this one

I've sold a lot of Silverados over the years, and this generation of the half-ton always impresses me with how simple and tough it is under the hood. This 4.3L V6 isn't flashy, but it's a proven engine that a lot of our repeat truck customers specifically ask for because it just runs and runs.

What I like about this particular truck is that it's not stripped down — you've got the tow package, tow/haul mode, backup camera, and modern connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so it doesn't feel like you're stepping back in time even though you're getting a great price point. The black paint and alloy wheels give it some presence too.

If you're looking for a truck that can tow your trailer on the weekend and still get you to work Monday morning without drama, come see me and the team at South West Auto Group. I'll walk you through everything this Silverado has to offer.

What to check before you buy

  • Check the towing capacity rating specific to the 4.3L V6 configuration versus V8 options if you plan on heavy towing.
  • Inspect the bed liner and truck bed for any signs of rust or wear from previous hauling duties.
  • Ask about the maintenance history on the 4x4 transfer case and front differential, common wear points on trucks with this kind of mileage.
  • Confirm the trailer wiring harness and hitch class match what you'll need for your towing setup before you drive off the lot.

Highlights

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 sits at the tail end of the previous-generation body style, meaning you get proven reliability with the rugged 4.3L V6 engine that's earned a reputation for being a workhorse without a fussy maintenance schedule. This is the truck for someone who wants capability first: a true 4x4 system, a Trailer Tow Package, and Tow/Haul Mode mean this Silverado is ready to handle boats, trailers, and job site duties around London and all of Southwestern Ontario. This particular Silverado is well-equipped for daily driving too, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeping you connected, Bluetooth for hands-free calls, and a backup camera that makes hitching up trailers or navigating tight parking lots easier. The alloy wheels and black exterior give it a clean, purposeful look, while the bed liner protects your investment from the wear and tear that comes with real truck use. This truck is perfect for tradespeople, weekend warriors, or anyone who needs a full-size pickup that can tow, haul, and still be comfortable enough for the daily commute. With under 75,000km on the odometer, there's plenty of life left in this Silverado, and the 4.3L V6 is known for being an efficient, low-maintenance choice compared to some of the larger V8 options. Buying a used truck like this in Ontario is a smart move — new full-size trucks have climbed well past $50,000, so finding a capable 2019 Silverado 1500 with tow package and modern tech for under $34,000 represents real value. At South West Auto Group, we make sure every truck on our lot is ready to go to work the day you drive it off.
