2019 Chicago Auto Show: 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD

General Motors unveiled the redesigned versions of their heavy duty 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. The new models will have two available powertrain options, a gas and a diesel. Many new standard and available features have been built into these trucks with work in mind.

The first thing you will notice is the oversized grille on the front. This design is to help increase the cooling. Both models come with a larger step in the sides of the rear bumper and a new step located between the cab and the rear wheel. These are designed to make accessing the bed easier. The bed uses lower sides to aid in gooseneck and fifth wheel clearance. Also, for towing, there is an in-vehicle app that monitors different trailer safety and convenience features. This includes features like Trailer Light Sequence Test, Trailer Theft Alert, and an available Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System.

Fifteen different camera views let you see all over the vehicle and trailer, there is even a “transparent trailer view,” that lets you see through the trailer, and rear-side view, which lets you see around the sides of the trailer. The vehicles are made of seven different types of steel, with the bed being made of high-strength steel. Also, the front end uses a modular assembly, similar to the half-ton Silverado and Sierra.
