2020 Diesel’ Silverado HD -Powerhouse of Durability and Performance

2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD Pickups Offers a New Gasoline Engine and More Towing Capacity, and Chevy adds extra cooling capacity to its diesel engine. An all-new 6.6-liter gas engine to the Silverado HD line, diesel’s new cooling fan looks like a windmill blade assembly. It’s huge!!. Which means 28 inches in diameter.

One element in a variety of chassis and power train has changed which allows Chevy’s diesel-powered 2500 and 3500 Silverado pickups to reset the max-towing bar among HD trucks.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD features

The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD has made heavy-duty work easier.

The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is a three-quarter-ton heavy-duty truck meant for towing and for work. Still, with plenty of cabs, bed configurations, and five trims, it increasingly doubles as an everyday driver or a family car. 

The Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD comes in;

  • 2020 Silverado HD Work Truck
  • 2020 Silverado HD Custom
  • 2020 Silverado HD LT
  • 2020 Silverado HD LTZ
  • 2020 Silverado HD High Country

High Country comes only with the crew cab, while double cabs and crew are available on the other trims. 

Rear-wheel drive is standard, but a significant part of trucks are going to be equipped with the four-wheel-drive while Bed size comes in standard -82.25 inches and long -98.27 inches.

Overall the Silverado HD performs a great job of balancing heavy-duty work needs with all-around comfort and convenience.

A newly added Allison 10-speed transmission is paired with the diesel engine, prop shafts, and a larger 12-inch rear axle in the 3500 HD Silverado. 

The 2020 Silverado HD’s maximum trailering weight is a massive 52 percent at 35,000 pounds, which is higher than the 2019 Silverado HD. 

Styling-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

Drivers who see the 2020 Chevy Silverado heavy-duty truck in the rearview mirror will with an instinct let it pass by. 

The Chevy truck’s presence and its design are equally commanding. 

The HD was designed to stand distinct from the light-duty half-ton Silverado pickup truck that was redesigned for 2019. It is 4 inches taller than the light-duty, and the only shared element is the roof made up of sheet metal.

It extends in width, length, and height over the HD generation, adding nearly 3 inches of overall interior space in crew cab models.

An HD-specific bed is also longer and holds higher volume (nine more cubes on the standard bed and seven more cubes on the long bed) than on 2019 models.

An added an after-run feature to Duramax-for 2020 alerts the driver when the transmission is put in Park if the engine needs additional cooling time and will restart itself to enable cooling for up to 15 minutes.
