Pickup Trucks Getting Huge. Got Problem With That?

A FEW MONTHS ago, on an ordinary day in an unremarkable

Costco

parking lot, I was nearly squashed by an unusually large pickup. Thank God I was wearing a mask.

As that chrome grille closed on me like a man-eating Norelco shaver, time slowed. It seemed I was watching myself from afar, being nimble for a man my age, darting from the path of a towering, limousine-black pickup with temporary plates, whose driver barely checked his pace. Jerk.

What the hell was that thing? A 2020 GMC Sierra HD Denali? It was huge! The domed hood was at forehead level. The paramedics would have had to extract me from the grille with a spray hose, like Randall Jarrell’s ball-turret gunner.

He didn’t even see me.

Later, returning to my car, I noticed something: The parking lot was dotted with similarly enormous luxury pickups—many new, many taking up two spaces: Ram,

Ford,

Chevy, GMC. They stood out like Percherons in a herd of Shetland ponies.

“ Are pickups really getting bigger, on average, or do they just look scarier? Both. The average pickup gained 1,142 pounds between 1990 and 2019. ”

What is going on here? When did pickups get so big? And why are XL-sized pickups so big now?

I know. Pickup trucks at Costco. Film at 11. Except that in April, U.S. sales of pickups surpassed automobiles for the first time ever—about 112 years, give or take. Trucks and truck-based sport-utilities now account for roughly 70% of new vehicles sold in the U.S.

How we came to be Pickup Nation is a longer story (cheap gas, the Chicken Tax, IRS Section 179, marketing). But this year, to help move the tin during the pandemic, U.S. auto makers laid out a bounty of discounts and cheap financing, including 0% interest for 84 months and deferred-payment plans.

“Pickups without a doubt benefited from the great deals,” said Mark Schirmer, spokesperson for market service providers Cox Automotive. “And the deals were particularly great for consumers buying expensive vehicles.” The data suggest these incentives also juiced a boomlet in XL-sized, heavy-duty pickups, otherwise known as ¾-ton and 1-ton pickups, for private use.

That’s right: Gucci cowboys. Historically aimed at commercial customers, sole proprietors, horse-haulers and mega-RVers, heavy-duty pickups are stronger and taller than ordinary (half-ton) trucks, with cabs mounted high above reinforced frame rails and heavy, long-travel suspensions. But HD trucks have evolved in the past decade, irradiated with the same prestige-luxury rays as light-duty trucks.

Behold MotorTrend 2020 Truck of the Year, the Ram Heavy-Duty. In Limited trim (about $65,000 with four-wheel drive but before options) the 2500 HD sports an elaborate chromified grille that gleams like a tea service. Its flight deck glows with untrucky amenities such as acoustically insulated glass; active noise canceling; 12-inch center touch screen; wood trim, premium leather—all paired with a maximum 19,680-pound towing capacity. With the optional cab lights, it measures over 6-feet-9 inches tall.

Thus has been born a uniquely American vehicle type: the mega-luxury mega-pickup.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE

The dimensions of Chevy’s 2020 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ. Just how big?

81.85 in. wide

79.82 in. tall

249.95 in. long

It seems to be resonating. While sales of Silverado light-duty were off 18.6% in the second quarter, sales of the HD model sales were off less than a point. GMC’s light-duty Sierra was down 9.5%, while sales of our menacing new friend, the Sierra HD, were up 7.6% in the second quarter and 21.5% year-to-date.

Ford and

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles

don’t break out HD sales from pickups overall. However, Ram’s average transaction price in the second quarter soared above $50,000, according to a Cox Automotive analysis of data from Kelley Blue Book. Ford F-Series sales fell 23% (to 180,825 units) but its ATP was mostly unaffected—$51,688, the highest among pickups.

In July, J.D. Power declared Sierra HD the king of the bro-dozers, placing it first in its 2020 U.S. APEAL Study of Large Heavy-Duty Pickups, which tracks owners’ excitement and emotional attachment in the first 90 days.

��The front end was always the focal point,” GM designer Karan Moorjani told Muscle Cars & Trucks e-zine. “We spent a lot of time making sure that when you stand in front of this thing it looks like it’s going to come get you.”

Mission accomplished.

But are pickups really getting bigger, on average, or do they just look scarier? The answers are somewhat and definitely. The average pickup on the road gained 1,142 pounds between 1990 and 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and 730 pounds since 2000.

“One of the most significant changes in that time was the arrival of crew-cab configurations, which added cab space to make them more family and work friendly,” said Mike Levine, Ford spokesperson.

In 2011, a change in the way the feds calculate vehicle fuel economy (the so-called “footprint rule”) gave domestic truck makers incentive to go big. Ever since, GMC, Chevy, Ram and Ford have been locked in a competitive feedback loop chasing best-in-class attributes and capacities—the “towing/hauling” wars. For MY 2019, for example, Ram’s 1500 Crew Cab gained 3.9 inches in overall length over a 4.1-inch longer wheelbase. In the same model-year, the Chevy Silverado gained 1.7 inches in length on a 3.9-inch longer wheelbase.

As a result, new light-duty pickup dimensions are approaching those of heavy-duty pickups. While the 2021 F-150 is about 18 inches shorter than the equivalent F-250, it is the same width (79.9). Mr. Levine noted that the company has gone to a common-cab design, using the same four-door living quarters for both light- and heavy-duty models.

“ ‘The face of these trucks is where the action is, a Chevy must shout Chevy. Every pickup has become a rolling brand billboard and the billboards are big.’ ”

Ask any kid with a crayon. If you draw the box in the middle bigger, you have to make the ones on the end bigger, too.

Which brings us to the 2020 Silverado HD—10 inches longer, 1.8 inches wider, and 1.6 inches taller than the previous model. The big Chevy’s challenging kisser comprises a thick, knee-high bumper; a central grille opening; several sets of lighting assemblies; a full-width transverse element helpfully informing with the message CHEVROLET…and then, above that, between very square corners, is a whole other layer, then a peaked hood with a central inlet. This hood line meets the base of the windshield about 6 inches above the side window sill.

Another cause of facial swelling? Marketing. “Full-size pickups are generally identical in profile,” Mr. Schirmer said. “The face of these trucks is where the action is; a Ford has to say Ford from head on, a Chevy must shout Chevy. Every pickup has become a rolling brand billboard and the billboards are big.”

You don’t have to be Steven Pinker to see that truck designers are leaning into the bully with these lantern-jawed bumpers and walls of chrome. Detroit’s blithe codifications of purposeful and powerful pickup design fail to describe the intimidation factor from the outside.

“A few brands, Ram and Ford, have taken to an overscale brand identity [and] applied it onto the grille,” said Kimberly Marte, associate professor of design at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. “The Chevy team did benchmarking of new models and followed the trend.”

It’s not clear how long pickup designs can keep getting their chrome on. In 2018 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released a study examining the connection between SUV design and pedestrian fatalities. In a separate study released in June, IIHS found fatal single-vehicle crashes involving SUVs striking pedestrians increased 81% from 2009 to 2016.

While IIHS studied SUVs and not pickups, “The key is the geometry of the front end, the high and flat shape,” said Becky Mueller, a senior research engineer for IIHS. “It’s like hitting a wall.”

XL-pickups’ high-rising hoods also create significant blind spots just ahead of the vehicle. I know because apparently I was in one of them. While truck makers like Ford offer automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection systems as standard equipment on most trims, and forward-view cameras as an option, such systems are not mandatory, as they would be in Europe.

NHTSA proposed that new pedestrian-safety tests for SUVs and trucks be included in the New Car Assessment Program in 2015. But as of this writing, the agency had not issued guidance on new standards. When asked, the industry trade group Alliance for Automotive Innovation had no comment.

And what if the next administration should issue pickup-pedestrian safety rules? Could the extra tall hoods and bluff grilles, the sightlines, the scale, the very form language of the traditional American pickup ever be made pedestrian safe? “Of course not,” said Ms. Marte. “No way.”

So watch yourself at Costco.

TOO BIG FOR ITS BRITCHES?

Sizing up Chevy’s 2020 Silverado 2500HD

Photo: Chevrolet

HIGH-END HOOD: Modern pickups like the Silverado 2500 HD LT with Z71 Off-Road Package appear huge not just because roofs have gotten taller (topping out around 80 inches), but because hoods have grown relative to a truck’s overall height.

KING-SIZE BED: The 2020 Silverado 2500 HD Crew Cab with Standard Bed is 10.3 inches longer, 1.3 inches wider, and 1.6 inches taller than the 2019 model.

GAUDY GRILLE: The vast chrome rictus of Chevy’s Silverado has been coolly received by some critics and customers. But Silverado sales are up, and there’s a booming business in aftermarket grilles.

A STEP UP: To assist you in boarding its very tall seat—which maintains proportionality with the height of the hood, the 2021 Silverado HD High Country is available with power running boards that automatically slide out to meet you.

Are you not entertained? The Gladiator’s early years featured the coolest grilles—centrally mounted, canted forward, with the Jeep badge in the lower-left.

MORE SWANK, LESS SCHLEP

How Ford’s uber-popular F-150 pickup has changed shape and style since 1995

PICKUPS AND SUVS have become the vehicles of choice for U.S. drivers over the last 25 years. Along the way, they’ve also become less trucklike, emphasizing comfort as well as capability. Take the F-150, the flagship of Ford’s F-Series, America’s bestselling vehicles 43 years running, which has morphed from rural work truck into a daily-driving people-mover as suburbanites ditched minivans in droves. The bestselling F-150 of 1995 was a rigid two-door set with a 6.5-foot bed; today’s bestselling F-150 has four doors, copious creature comforts, and a cargo box that’s a full foot shorter. —Aaron Stern

2020 GMC Sierra HD 2500/3500 First Drive: More Muscle, More Style

The General Motors pickup strategy is pretty simple; attack the market with two brands where competitors only offer a single choice. As it relates to heavy-duty consumers, we’ve already seen what they’ve done with the all-new platform, controversial styling, and impressive towing technology in the 2020 Silverado 2500 and 3500, and now it’s time for the GMC side of the family to roll out their HDs and unique features.

The 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 models are founded on an entirely new, stronger, longer, and taller ladder frame, specifically designed to deliver bigger max towing and payload numbers. Across every configuration, specific considerations to thicker, lighter, and more advanced materials have been included in the frame, upgraded suspension components, and even in the powertrains themselves, resulting in higher maximum payload (in excess of 7,000 pounds) and maximum towing numbers (in excess of 35,000 pounds). Here’s a fun fact GM engineers want you to know: every configuration of GM’s one-ton dually (no matter what cab, what engine, what drivetrain) can tow more than 30,000 pounds. Neither Ford nor Ram can say the same.

A huge piece in this HD puzzle is, as you might imagine, under the hood. Although the 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel (rated at 445 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 910 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm) is basically a carryover engine choice, it is now mated with an all-new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, which sports a larger, faster computer controller. Additionally, there’s an all-new gas engine choice in the form of a 6.6-liter direct-injection V-8, rated at 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm. This new engine replaces the long-past-due 6.0-liter with a mountain of proven and new technology and compares exceptionally well with the new Ford and Ram gas V-8 offerings.

From an exterior design perspective, GMC internals continue their push to separate themselves from their Chevrolet brethren. For better or worse, GMC has taken a more conservative approach, keeping their multi-block grille, front bumper, and headlight designs more in keeping with the half-ton models. The most dramatic changes to the Sierra HD front ends are in actual size, driven in large part by the added airflow requirements needed for both the diesel and gas engine choices. The front end still offers dual-intake avenues for cool air (one integrated in the hood, the other through the wider grille), but now also adds a substantial under-bumper mini-grille to direct air either to the intercooler (for the diesel) or transmission cooler (for the gas). Window beltlines have been lowered for better driver and passenger visibility and the actual bed sill height is lower as well. We especially like that all HDs will offer integrated sidesteps into the rear bumper and bed body (one in front of the rear wheel well, one in the bumper corner) on all models for easier, quicker access to anything in the bed.

We recently had the chance to do quite a bit of highway towing, off-roading, and payload cruising in and around Jackson Hole, Wyoming (around 6,000 feet above sea level), with several new Sierra HD models and, briefly, here’s what we found:

Highway Towing: The Duramax/Allison is an absolute monster when pulling heavy loads. Unlike some max-tow powertrains, the 6.6-liter turbodiesel delivers 100-percent of its torque off the line and the new 10-speed transmission does an excellent job of smoothly and progressively getting all that power to the rear wheels. Our first 3500 dually crew cab 4×4 Denali (listing just under $82,000) was towing a Keystone Montana fifth-wheel RV with dual slide-outs, weighing in around 13,000 pounds dry. With the exhaust brake on and in Tow/Haul (which gave us some rather aggressive grade-braking downshifts each time we tapped the brake), our time with the truck and trailer was fairly comfortable and stress-free. Add to this a myriad of trailering camera options (front, both side mirrors, bed, tailgate, and a final hard-wired camera on the back of the RV), and we could see just about everything or anyone wanting to sneak up on us. We should note that GM is the only HD truck maker that offers an integrated Transparent Trailer feature that (when set up properly) allows the driver to see through the trailer you are towing to those drivers following you (many of whom might want to pass). This technology is not only cool, it provides an extra level of safety and situational awareness we’ve never experienced. Additionally, we towed with a gooseneck flat-bed that reportedly weighed over 25,000 pounds with a one-ton dually and found the workings of the drivetrain plenty strong enough to pull the load confidently, feeling quite composed the whole time. Of course, we’ll have to reserve our final judgements for long-haul towing (and any overheating issues) until we can get a test truck and set up a multi-state run.

Off-Roading: One of the biggest sales surprises recently for GMC is their newest off-road package, called the AT4 (actually an evolved trim from earlier All Terrain packages). Offered on both light-duty and heavy-duty platforms, the AT4 package for the HD offers bigger wheels and tires, specially tuned Rancho monotube shocks, extra skid-plating underneath, a Traction Select system with a unique Off-Road mode, Hill Descent and hill hold features, a 15-inch color head-up display with an off-road inclinometer, and a high-def surround-view camera. The 2500 or 3500 AT4 is exclusive to the GMC brand (meaning there is no Chevy Silverado HD Trail Boss at this time) and, with the exception of an anti-roll bar disconnect and winch, this could be the closest thing to a Ram 2500 Power Wagon competitor. We had the chance to punish a few AT4s on both some higher-speed, choppy dirt roads, as well as some rocks and nasty 4×4 trails we found near Grand Teton National Park. Uniquely, the transfer case offers both all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive high range, and four-wheel drive low range modes, each with a different Off Road mode setting in the transmission to help improve traction control and throttle response. We found this hugely helpful when navigating a deep river wash that eventually got rocky, then turned back into tire-swallowing, fluffy, smooth sand. Moving back and forth between the 4WD settings is all push-button, requiring us to be in Neutral only when moving into or out of 4 Low. To state the obvious; this was the most fun we had in a GMC pickup the entire week. And, we should also note, the AT4 package suffers no down-rating in max payload or towing when compared to other non-AT4 HDs (something the Power Wagon cannot say).

Payload Cruising: We also had the chance to run rather long stretches of mountain highways with both a Sierra Denali 2500 and Sierra AT4 2500 with at or just above 2,000 pounds of freshly cut logs in the bed (all properly strapped down). Of particular note, which is a pet peeve of ours, we loved the fact that even with that much weight in the back there was very little rear-end droop from the rear springs. Neither of our test trucks showed any trouble accommodating the weight or sacrificing any ride or handling quality as we carved through the canyons parallel with the Snake River. We should note, however, our AT4 loaded with logs did have the new V-8 gas engine, which did seem to have a little more trouble keeping up with traffic as we crossed over a mountain pass, and, with four fewer gears than the Allison (but lower 3.73:1 axle gears—all Duramax HDs get 3.42:1 gears), it did still seem to struggle a bit more. With all that said, we were still quite impressed with how well both the Denali and AT4 suspensions handled the load, providing a balanced and composed chassis during mountain road cornering.

But what about the interiors? If you were looking for something dramatic or a huge upgrade in the 2020 GMC HD interiors, you will not be happy. For the most part, everything we’ve already seen from GMC (mostly from the new interiors of the light-duty trims) will be carried over into the HD lineup. Expect the top-of-the-line Denali to still fall short of the what Ram and Ford are doing with their top trims—meaning you’ll still see the usual chrome surrounds with brushed aluminum accents, and plasticky wood trim pieces on the center console and door panels. We actually like the idea of keeping the interior looks between light-duty and heavy-duty similar but we’d really like to see more drama with better-quality materials and choices. Beyond that, the softer dash materials and stitching choices are still pretty good, just not for a truck that can easily run above the $75,000 mark. We consider this the biggest area of opportunity for GMC and, unlike some of our colleagues, we’re willing to wait and see what’s likely to come in the next mid-model refresh.

Rollout for the new GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 models is happening now but the more popular models (meaning crew cab 4x4s) will come first, then the others later. Expect the AT4 and Denali crew cabs first, with other trims and cabs rolling out thereafter. Eventually, 2020 GMC HDs will offer three cab configurations, two bed lengths, two engine choices, and five trims—the value-oriented Sierra trim, the more mainstream SLE and SLT, then offer the more well-appointed AT4 and Denali for those wanting to fully option and have more style. Entry-level Sierra HD regular cab will start at $38,790. The more popular 2500 SLE crew cab 4×4 will have a starting price $1,900 cheaper than the outgoing model and will include these upgrades: a stronger, more efficient 6.6-liter gas V-8, LED headlights, traction select, more payload and towing capacity, more sidesteps, and more cargo tiedowns in the bed. Pricing for this specific model starts at $46,990. The top-of-the-line 3500 dually Denali 4×4 crew cab will have a starting price of $69,490 and include the 6.6-liter Duramax and 10-speed transmission, surround-view cameras, Multi-Pro Tailgate, and much more. Realistically, though, you can expect one of the heavy haulers to get pretty close to or above $80,000 with all the boxes checked. Certainly not cheap by any measure, but consider the upgrades being offered for the 2020 model year, there’s a strong value proposition to be made.

GMC Sierra HD 2020 a monster of nature ... human

San Diego, California - As part of the launch of the AT4 version of the GMC Sierra 1500 2019, the General Motors truck division took the opportunity to unveil the HD versions of its new Sierra pickup truck.

GMC Sierra HD 2020 a monster of nature ... human

In essence, this is what consumers expect when the model hits the market this summer.

Design

Obviously, since we are talking about a new generation of products, we are talking about a completely revised style. Those who have seen what Chevrolet is preparing with the Silverado HD will be reassured; we went there more moderately at GMC. The pace is muscular, certainly, but it is successful. And, as is the custom, there are noticeable differences to distinguish versions. A simple look at the variations Denali and AT4 are enough to understand.

Towing

In the world of the HD pickup truck, towing is a big deal. Of course, we are referring here to capacities, but also to all the helpers that make life easier for homeowners.

In this regard, the GMC Sierra HD 2020 will offer a more user-friendly experience than ever before. One of the things that's catching your eye is the ProGrade Trailering system, which has 15 camera angles that let you see the load you're pulling from all angles. Then, a device that allows you to see behind as if the trailer did not exist. In fact, the cameras in question (those on the tailgate and those on the back of the trailer) work together to allow the driver to literally see through the towed load. The effect is successful and rather mind-blowing.

GMC Sierra HD 2020 a monster of nature ... human

Capacities

Because this is the nerve of war in this category, the announced towing capacity was done with great fanfare. The latter is estimated at 13,607 kilograms, or 30,000 pounds in the case of the 3500 version. A demonstration to put our eyes on it was also organized for the occasion. We could see a double axle variant towing a load of 225,000 pounds over a short distance. It was reminiscent of the Toyota Tundra feat that towed the Space Shuttle a few years ago.

Put it in the category "my truck is stronger than yours".

Much more

Of course, the GMC Sierra HD (2500 and 3500) is more than that. whether in terms of innovation equipment, style, mechanics, lark!

Because you have to draw the line somewhere and avoid talking all day long about the features of this new GMC Sierra HD, here are some additional highlights.

GMC Sierra HD 2020 a monster of nature ... human

- The Sierra pickup truck introduces a new type of hatchback that deploys in multiple ways by offering six functions. Named MultiPro, it is available on all variants of the model and is standard on SLT, AT4 and Denali grinds.

- A head-up display with a diagonal of 15 inches including a wealth of information (towing, speed, navigation, etc.)

- A mirror offering the possibility of broadcasting the image of a camera placed at the back.

- More space on board (the vehicle is a little bigger)

- A 6.6-liter V6 Duramax turbodiesel.

- A new 10-speed Allison automatic gearbox.

- An AT4 variant designed for off-road driving.

- Quantity of driving aids for towing.

-SIMILAR ITEMS:

-THE CADILLAC EV 2020 IN 3 POINTS

-Alfa Romeo GTV: worthy heiress

-New i10 (2020): Hyundai changes everything on board!

2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Heavy Duty revealed: Tech-focused towing machine

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=6746&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr Trucks are designed to work and the 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty lineup has a laser focus on towing. Unveiled Tuesday, the 2020 GMC Sierra HD family of pickup trucks is larger with more chrome, more lights, and more tech than before. 2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty Built to haul Hauling—whether it’s a trailer, boat, or load of bricks—starts with power. GMC didn’t fully outline the new HD’s powertrain lineup, but confirmed the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V-8 will return with 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, which is now paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive will be standard while four-wheel drive will be available. A gas-powered engine wasn’t detailed, but likely will be offered. Full capabilities will be laid out closer to this summer, when the truck goes on sale, but GMC said the new HD lineup will be capable of tugging over 30,000 pounds when properly equipped. To be the HD towing king it’ll need to beat the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty’s max tow rating of 35,100 pounds. GMC didn’t say how much the truck will cost when it goes on sale.

The New Chevy Silverado HD Can Tow More than Your Truck Can

With a grille that would do a Mack truck proud and a claimed best-in-class towing capacity of up to 35,500 pounds, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty bowed at the plant in Flint, Michigan where it will be built. Like the rival Ram Heavy Duty and Ford Super Duty lines, the Silverado HD and its close sibling, the GMC Sierra HD, have targeted big numbers and best-in-class with a fervor usually reserved for Camaro vs. Mustang vs. Challenger, only here the profit margins and contribution to the corporate bottom line are exponentially larger and more important.

The Chevy Silverado HDs share virtually nothing in design or engineering with the Silverado 1500s, says General Motors president Mark Reuss. “[These customers] do not want a bigger light-duty. They want a truck scaled to their needs,” he said.

Reuss also acknowledged GM’s recent spate of layoffs as part of the company’s “tough decisions, right decisions” in shifting the automaker into the right direction for future success. Those layoffs make the timing of the big trucks’ introduction awkward, though Reuss said GM plans to add 1,000 jobs to this Flint Assembly plant, which has more than 3,000 hourly workers on three shifts.

HD and half-ton Silverados share no major parts and components beyond having the same roof panel, and together the heavy- and light-duty Chevrolets and GMCs account for 24 distinct models. (This does not include the midsize Colorado/Canyon or the new medium-duty trucks.) GM trucks have collectively been number one in industry sales, Reuss said, with more than 973,000 sold in 2018, a position it’s likely to lose with the return of the in-demand Ranger to Ford’s lineup.

While the half-ton full-size GM pickups adapted mixed-material construction for 2019 in order to cut weight, the HD Silverado sticks with all steel for its ladder frame and body. The taller grille and prominent, functional dual hood vents are intended to help cool the engine in diesel versions, said Rich Scheer, exterior design director for Chevrolet trucks. The HDs are wider and taller and the crew cab’s wheelbase is increased by 5.2 inches.

Scheer acknowledged negative reaction on social media to a preview of the Silverado HD’s visage, though the new, techy nose looks better in person than in photos.

Four of the five trim levels—Work Truck, Custom, LT, and LTZ—feature the CHEVROLET lettering across the horizontal grille bar, while the top-dog High Country replaces the lettering with a gold bowtie. The five trims are available on both the Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 3500 dually models.

Engine choices are an all-new 6.6-liter V-8 with what Chevy says is first in the HD segment with gas direct-injection. The iron small-block V-8 features a high-compression ratio, Chevy says, and makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, up from 360 and 380 for the previous gas V-8. It delivers power through a carryover six-speed automatic transmission.

The much more popular engine, the Silverado HD’s 6.6-liter Duramax V-8 diesel, is a heavily upgraded version of the outgoing rig’s. It now has a new 28-inch-diameter fan, up from 25, and its oil cooler has five extra plates for a total of 19. Engine-braking capacity is up 14 percent. While the Duramax’s 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque is unchanged, Chevy swipes at the Ram HD’s 1000-lb-ft Cummins diesel by bragging that its diesel can put down all its torque from launch, in first gear.

The Duramax is paired with a 10-speed Allison automatic, built by GM. Chevy says it was developed with Allison engineers and validated by the transmission maker, and is on architecture “similar” to the 10-speed automatic that Ford and GM developed together, and which comes with Ford’s freshly updated Super Duty F-series pickups. The transmission’s clutches and brakes are the same, but gear ratios are slightly different, according to Chevrolet. The new gearbox also features an integrated power take-off unit with chain drive, all for quieter operation.

A new Autotrac active two-speed transfer case on 4×4 Silverado HDs electronically controls the 4 Auto mode, for “seamless” shifting between rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive.

Every Chevy Silverado HD dually has a towing capacity of more than 30,000 pounds, up to the 35,500-pound maximum, which is a 52-percent increase over the outgoing model’s max. The Silverado 2500 with the gas-powered V-8 has a 17,400-pound towing capacity, up 18 percent.

Features on the HD Silverado’s new ladder frame include a one-piece, five-inch prop shaft in place of the old truck’s two-piece, 3.5-inch shaft, for better load distribution. The Silverado 3500 has a new 12-inch rear axle and 12-inch ring gear. The trucks carry over their double-wishbone front suspensions.

Being a new pickup truck, the ’20 Chevy Silverado HD features the latest advanced camera technology, with eight available cameras offering up to 15 different views. The digital cameras are hard-wired and high-definition, and include a rear side view with turn-signal activated biasing, and a “see-through” feature that allows the driver to virtually “look” through the trailer he or she is towing. The driver also can use the center screen to check tire pressures and temperatures on the trailer, as well as the truck, and can pre-condition a trailer home’s heating, air-conditioning and water heater.

Chevrolet claims the largest cargo volume in the truck’s segment, and the Silverado HDs come with a 120-volt outlet in the bed, a segment-first power up-and-down tailgate, and nine moveable and 12 fixed bed tiedowns. Advanced trailering features include a pre-departure checklist, customizable trailer profiles, and a smart trailer app. This is the first Silverado HD that doesn’t share its bed with the Silverado 1500.

Yes, these gargantuan trucks have all the modern features one could fit inside. Each Detroit competitor has its own list of best-in-class numbers, and it seems each will continue to leapfrog the others as long as there are companies to build them.
