The Chevrolet Silverado is a range of full-size pickup, chassis cab and medium-duty trucks built by General Motors under its Chevrolet brand, introduced for the 1999 model year as the successor to the long-running Chevrolet C/K line, with the Silverado name itself drawn from a former top trim level of the C/K series. Built on the same underlying platform as the closely related GMC Sierra, which continued using the C/K naming a generation longer than Chevrolet did, the Silverado has gone through four generations, the most recent introduced for the 2019 model year, and competes directly against the Ford F-Series, Ram Pickup, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan in the North American full-size truck market. Since its 1998 introduction the Silverado has sold more than 12 million trucks, making it consistently one of the best-selling vehicles in the United States.
