2020 Chevy Silverado HD Spied

It's no doubt that Chevy keeps trucks during development stages heavily under wraps, and the next-generation Silverado HD is one of the next on standby. The constant flow of spy shots keeps us here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis as up to date as we can about what the appearances of future models will be like, even if they happen to be heavily camouflaged and covered up. New shots that have just become available to us show GM testing both the Chevy and GMC versions of these tough and ready-to-haul pickups in various body styles. The new Silverado HD appears to feature a very prominent bar in the grille that gives the truck a much rougher appearance, and the photos we saw suggest that there will be numerous tiers of lights.

Underneath, LED as well as fog lights appear to be present, and the heavy body cladding doesn't provide a perfect look at the truck's front and rear stance, but the fenders appear to be typically prominent. A noticeable difference between the Chevy and GMC versions are at the front: the new Sierra HD appears to have more bars in the grille, and the LED running lights are above, instead of below them. The exact specs of any powertrain changes are not yet known, but the Chevy and GMC feature tweaks for improving their hauling capabilities fairly substantially, since getting work done is part of the reason these models exist.

The Duramax 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine is expected to get a refresh, while the base engine option will most likely be the 6.0-liter Gasoline V8. Shifting duties will likely be handled by the same six-speed automatic heavy-duty transmission, which is the same that Ford and Ram are still placing in their heaviest-duty of trucks. The Detroit or Chicago auto shows will most likely be the site of these two to debut next year, and we guarantee that many hard-working and playing customers are going to immediately fall in love with them.

The folks on staff at the Jalopnik blog claimed after seeing a few shots themselves that “The new heavy-duty Silverado HD is coming for you in your nightmares”, and recognized that the “bolder, larger proportions of the truck will be instantly apparent. Humorously claiming that it will instill fear in the drivers of very small cars such as Renault and Fiat, their write-up in early April is an ode to how excited they are to see such a staple of hard-working American legendary power gain future models to their army. What will be instantly recognized here is larger size, which it has been proven is a major draw for this illustrious truck line. Prepare to be amazed and taken aback: 2020 will come quick, and so will all of the tough duties you'll have on your list to throw at this ready-to-conquer duo!
