For this guide, we're looking at the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ, starting at $44,495 MSRP, and the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE, starting at $42,595 MSRP.

ENGINE OPTIONS

Because both of these reliable trucks fall under the General Motors umbrella, they share the same engine lineup. However, the Silverado LTZ and Sierra SLE have different standard configurations. The 5.3L V8 under the hood of the 2019 Silverado outpaces the Sierra's 2.7L across the board while keeping pace with similar efficiency estimates, as you can see below:
