Finally! [Embedded video]() ![2020 Chevy Silverado HD]()At an exclusive unveil last month in Arizona, we got up close and personal with the design of the big, bold new Silverado HD. In person, the new Silverado HD looks like it is considerably larger than the prior generation. It is so large, you would think it is a whole new class of pickup. ![2020 Chevy Silverado HD]() The best innovation in some time, the bed step makes getting into the bed a LOT easier. This size means the new Silverado HD only borrows the roof from the new Silverado 1500 and the rest of the sheet metal is new to the larger HD. Chevy didn’t announce dimensions, but it says the truck shares the same 3 inches of rear legroom gained like the half-ton pickup as well as other “similar architectural changes.” ![2020 Chevy Silverado HD]() No question who built this truck! It also shares the same spelled out Chevrolet grille as Silverado half-ton work trucks come with from the factory. Powering the Flint, Michigan built pickup will be an all-new gasoline engine with direct injection mated to a six-speed transmission or the Duramax turbo-diesel V8 with 910 lb-ft of torque mated to an all-new Allison 10-speed transmission. Chevy says there will be “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.” These features will likely be the same as found in the Silverado 1500 as well as few new items. ![2020 Chevy Silverado HD]() An all-new gas engine is coming along with a new Allison 10-speed for the Duramax diesel. The new 2020 Silverado HD will go on sale mid-2019 and we will see the official debut likely next year in Detroit. ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "2020 Chevy Silverado HD Revealed – New Gas Engine, Allison Transmission, Bed Step", "datePublished": "2018-12-04T13:00:18+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:20:49+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/" }, "wordCount": 348, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Front-34.jpg", "keywords": [ "2020 chevy", "2020 chevy silverado hd", "allison transmission", "bed step", "silverado hd" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2018/12/2020-chevy-silverado-hd-revealed/", "name": "2020 Chevy Silverado HD Revealed -
