Thumbs up New 3LT Trim Level: 2019 Camaro Refresh

Still 2 - SS trim levels. I speculate the 1SS, maybe the 2SS as well, will get a "performance pack" option to decontent the SS when pp not chosen.

Earlier in January, we shared our expectations for the upcoming 2019 Camaro refresh, and today we have some pretty solid evidence to support our beliefs.

Specifically, it seems that the 2019 Camaro will introduce a new trim level called 3LT.

That much is according to GM’s official VIN decoding document for 2019 model year vehicles filed with NHTSA on December 14th, 2017,

which shows a new 3LT model with either a manual or automatic transmission joining previously-existing trim levels for the gen six Camaro.

By comparison, GM’s 2018 model year VIN decoder doc made no reference to a Camaro 3LT – making the trim level new for the 2019 model year.

Outside of adding the 3LT trim, the rest of the 2019 VIN decoder document lists the same engines as the one for the 2018 model year… which might change in the near future.

Though we have no confirmation of the following, we would expect that the addition of a 3LT trim level will result in the repositioning of the -

1LS, 1LT and 2LT models on the 2019 Camaro that will see these models remove content and get a lower starting price.

This was pretty much expected since Chevrolet already said they want a lower-base V8 option for the Camaro to compete with the base Mustang GT - The 1SS is more like the Mustang GT with Performance Package

But what does a 3LT, likely a V6, have to do with a cheaper base SS offering?

So what are we saying, the 3LT would basically just be a 1LT/2LT with the LT1 engine (aka no meaty tires, tranny/oil coolers, 4 piston brembos, beefier suspension)?

I can see GM offering more options across the board. They have talked about allowing more customization, I just wonder what they will add or take away. Maybe the Corvette could be something to look at in regards to what they have been doing?

Based on the VIN chart this is a LT play only. and from my understanding we only have 1 LS option even now and that is reflected int he new 2019 VIN chart.

LS
1LT
2LT
1SS
2SS
ZL1

Both RS and 1LE option being add-ons to the based models above.
