What's New for the 2020 Chevy Silverado?

The 2020 Silverado is yet another entry in the long history of successful Chevrolet light-duty trucks. The platform was completely redesigned for 2019, and new powertrains and trim levels made their entrance. The truck market is more competitive than ever, and Chevy is rising to the occasion with new options and features. The Silverado remains unchanged after last year's redesign, except for the addition of a diesel engine option on certain trims.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Trims & Features

Seven powertrains, eight trims, three cab styles, and three different bed lengths make for a long Silverado lineup.

    
• The WT or Work Truck comes with 17" steel wheels, a bed step, auto headlights, power locks and windows (on crew and extended cabs), a split folding front bench seat, tilt steering, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and a six-speaker audio system.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Horsepower

For the 2020 model year, there's an all-new diesel engine option on High Country, LTZ, RST, and LT models. It's a Duramax 3.0L 6-cylinder with 277hp and 460 lb. ft. of torque. Like the V8 gas engines in the lineup, the diesel engine is matched to a ten-speed auto transmission with rear- or four-wheel drive.

Speaking of gas engines, the 6.2L V8 is available on RST and Trail Boss models. There's an optional Performance Upgrade package, which adds performance exhaust and an air intake to create 435hp and 469 lb. ft. of torque. The Silverado will get the HD's towing tech, including camera views and advanced trailer controls.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Safety

The Silverado standard safety gear includes front passenger and driver dual-stage airbags, side-impact airbags for the front and rear, electronic stability and traction control, trailer sway control, a backup camera, and passenger sensing. Other features, such as lane keep assist, pedestrian detection, and auto headlamp control, are available.

The 2020 Silverado may be a light-duty pickup truck, but it's not light on capability and performance. Test drive one today at Kenny Kent Chevy.
