Chevy’s all-new 2020 Silverado HD is set to debut in
February of next year, when it will instantly take up the mantle of the “most
advanced Silverado HD ever”, according to the automaker. This will also be the third all-new
Silverado variant to make its debut within the past 18 months, and its assembly
will take place at GM’s Flint plant in Michigan. Also, compared to its 1500
sibling, the HD model is almost entirely different, as the two trucks have only
their roofs in common.
Still, like the Silverado 1500, the HD also gains an
additional 7.6 cm of legroom on crew cab models, to go with a
taller, more comfortable seating position. Come next year, you’ll be able to
purchase a 2020 Silverado HD with a choice of two new powertrains. You can
either go for the all-new gasoline engine with direct injection (which is mated
to a six-speed transmission), or the Duramax turbo-diesel V8 unit, which feeds
a monster 1,233 Nm of torque to the wheels through a new Allison
10-speed gearbox.
Other features include a new customer-focused
trailering technology, significant increases in towing and payload capabilities
and a wide range of technologies designed for heavy duty truck buyers.
The all-new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD will go on
sale in mid-2019.
