Hauling, Lugging,
and Jobsite duties that are the furthest from “light” imaginable are all
typical parts of many of our customers' day here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse of Linn.
Trucks such as the new 2020 Silverado HD are ideal for the many instances where
the low-end muster and might of a sedan just would never do. The coming model
was highlighted up close in a blog this week from the folks at Motor
Trend, and they first offered up a quick view of the available range.
It will be available in strong 2500 or 3500 variants, with the 3500 being
offered now as a dually.
The trims in
order from low to high are Work Truck, Custom, LT, LTZ, and High Country. All
come standard with a 6.6-liter gasoline V-8 that cranks out 401 horsepower, and
464 lb-ft of torque backed by a six-speed transmission. It can also be had with
a 6.6 – liter turbodiesel V-8 that produces 445 hp and a mighty 910 lb – ft of
torque and mated to a 10-speed transmission. Double cab/standard bed
configuration is available for Work Truck, with Crew cab/standard bed available
as well. These trucks are built with fine-tuned precision in the name of hard
work and have astronomical hauling and towing capability.
Gas-powered Silverado Hds are now rated to carry a 7,466 lb – payload and
two up to 17,400 pounds overall. As far as the diesel Silverado HD is concerned
payload rating is not yet available, but we are very well aware that there is a
52-percent increase in its towing capacity, which is currently situated at
35,500 pounds. You may be spending quite a bit of time here with us or on your
tablet looking at which version is just right for you: between the different
cab, bed, rear axle, and engine combinations, 80 variants are available, and
that's before the addition of many optional extras.
The Motor Trend staff were also hinting in
this article that they were all very excited about these trucks models all
making their way to contending with extreme vigor during the “Truck of the
Year” contest in a few months. You'll get to put to use adaptive cruise control
as well as the 15 various camera views that were introduced on the GMC Sierra
1500 this year. It's a great system that aids in avoiding problems that rise up
quickly while trailering, and two of the 8 available cameras will produce a
stitched-together image that lets you see right through the trailer. 17-inch
bright silver painted aluminum wheels are now free flow on the Work Truck trim,
and you can also enjoy the addition of the Texas Edition on the Silverado
RST!
