While the new Chevrolet Silverado HD may have a face only a mother (robot) could love

Transcript

00:00 Hi, this is Sean Holman with Truck Trend and behind me is the all new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado

00:04 Heavy Duty and we're going to take this bad boy for a ride today.

00:14 So here we are finally behind the wheel of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and this truck

00:18 is a beast.

00:20 For 2020 you can expect higher payloads, more towing, all that thanks to an all new chassis

00:25 and suspension and an all new cabin.

00:27 The truck that we're in now is a 2500 crew cab and it's with the excellent 6.6 liter

00:32 Duramax engine that's now backed by a 10 speed Allison transmission and that Allison

00:37 transmission makes it the only heavy duty diesel to have more than 6 speeds.

00:41 And with this new cab, the truck is so quiet, it's so powerful and it's deceptively quick.

00:47 I mean you can barely hear it yet it pushes you back in the seat.

00:50 This has an easy to access snow plow prep package.

00:53 This has a trailer brake controller.

00:55 It has an engine block heater that's accessible from the outside.

00:59 It also has an integrated bed step ahead of the rear axle which is super helpful.

01:03 No longer do you have steps that hang down low, now you can step right in the bed and

01:07 you don't lose ground clearance.

01:08 There is a fantastic trailering system that uses 7 cameras that have up to 15 different

01:14 views on it.

01:15 You can monitor the trailer tire pressure, the trailer tire heat, maintenance intervals,

01:20 all those things that help you when you're driving and you're towing a trailer.

01:24 Overall Chevy did a great job on this truck.

01:26 We can't wait to drive it some more, get some trailers behind it and see what this truck

01:30 is made of.

01:31 Until then, you guys can check out the truck, summer of 2019 at your local Chevy dealer

01:36 here in the market for heavy duty.

01:38 This is definitely one to check out.
