2020 Silverado HD designed to resemble ‘heavy machinery, with chiseled finishes and customer-focused details.’When the 2020 Silverado HD debuts in February 2019 it will be the most capable and most advanced Silverado HD ever. It will also be the third all-new Silverado model from Chevrolet in just 18 months each designed for different customers."We know the needs and priorities of heavy-duty customers are different than those of either light-duty or medium-duty customers," said Jaclyn McQuaid, chief engineer, Silverado HD. "As such, we built a heavy-duty truck tailor-made for them that has more differentiation than ever before from light-duty models, offers advanced towing technologies to improve towing confidence and includes new features such as the integrated Bedstep, which makes it easier to access the bed while pulling a fifth-wheel trailer."Built at the Flint Assembly plant in Flint, Mich., the new Silverado HD"s design has a bold, sculpted form that follows its enhanced heavy-duty function, differentiating it from the light-duty Silverado. In fact, the 2020 Silverado HD exterior shares only the roof with its Silverado 1500 stablemate every other piece of sheet metal is exclusive to Silverado HD. ALSO SEE: 2019 Silverado Towing Test Review "We set out to make a statement with the 2020 Silverado HD and wanted to visually capture the power and capability of the truck," said Brian Izard, lead exterior designer for Silverado HD. "The result is a truck that looks like a piece of heavy machinery with modern, chiseled finishes and customer-focused details."The interior benefits from similar architectural changes made to the all-new Silverado 1500, including an additional three inches of legroom on crew cab models and a taller, more comfortable seating position.Under the 2020 Silverado HD"s hood is a choice of two new powertrains: an all-new gasoline engine with direct injection mated to a six-speed transmission, or the Duramax Turbo-Diesel V-8, which delivers 910 lb-ft of torque through an all-new, Allison 10-speed transmission.The 2020 Silverado HD also will offer all-new customer-focused trailering technology, significant increases in towing and payload capabilities and a host of technologies and features designed specifically for heavy-duty truck customers. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" /> <br style="clear: both" />
