Key specifications of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado series
Chevrolet is a division of the General Motors Company that was started by Louis Chevrolet in 1911. The Chevy family, as we all know it today, has manufactured top-of-the-line cars, trucks, and other commercial vehicles, and it is also a successful manufacturer of high-performance vehicles driven by professional NASCAR teams. So, Chevrolet delivers the performance it promises for all types of vehicles.
Also, when you ask the question of what’s new in the 2020 Silverado series , the company gives you a better platform, an improved exterior, and a classy interior, along with powerful engine and transmission choices.
2020 Silverado 1500
The Silverado 1500 features four distinct configurations for the cab and truck bed. These include the Regular Cab, Long Bed; Double Cab, Standard Bed; Crew Cab, Short Bed; and Crew Cab, Standard Bed. It is important to choose a configuration first as it will determine the maximum trailering/towing capacity and the mileage of the vehicle. Additionally, the drive type gives you a choice between a four-wheel and two-wheel drive, and Silverado 1500 is available in several customizable trim variants. For these trim variants, it can be difficult to choose between the 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 engine and the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine. A standard 6-speed automatic transmission powers the 2WD and 4WD for all the trim variants. Apart from what’s under the hood, the 1500 series also comes with cruise control and an advanced trailering system.

2020 Silverado 2500HD
The redesigned concept vehicle has upped the ante when it comes to design and features to bring about a certain refined aesthetic that compliments the powerhouse it packs under the hood. This 3-seater multipurpose workhorse is built for better towing and trailering with a maximum load-bearing capacity of 18,500 lbs. Chevrolet features five trim variants, all powered by a standard 6.6L V8 Direct Injection engine sporting a six-speed automatic transmission. An optional upgrade is available for this power horse with the 6.6L Duramax-Turbo Diesel V8 with an Allison® 10-speed transmission, but this is only for certain trim variants. 2020 Chevrolet Silverado vehicles are built for safety with rear cross traffic alert, front and rear sensors for parking, and lane departure warning.
2020 Silverado 3500HD
The Silverado 3500HD is a bigger, better, and mightier alternative to consider over the 2500HD trim variants, especially if you are into the business of heavy hauling. In fact, any configuration of the 3500HD series boasts an unbelievable towing capacity of close to 35,500 pounds. That’s nearly double the standard of the 2500HD, and the 1500 series does not even come close to this diesel behemoth! You can opt for the standard 6.6L V8 Gasoline engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission or go for a slightly more powerful V8 Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine running an Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission. One thing for sure is that both are built for whatever you plan to haul across the country. The 3500HD is a fierce competitor when it comes to heavy-duty trucks, and technical specifications aside, the redesigned 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is more spacious and powerful in comparison to its predecessors.
