2020 Chevrolet Silverado: Power, capability and durability

Over the last decade, full-size trucks have evolved into the most versatile vehicles currently on offer on the Canadian market. No longer is it enough for a big pickup truck to simply haul and tow. Today, discerning truck buyers expect comfort, technology, and performance without sacrificing what it is these vehicles were conceived to do a century ago, which is work.

Chevrolet, and its Silverado truck, have an enviable reputation for being some of the most dependable, capable and efficient full-size pickups in North America. The Chevy Silverado meets and exceeds Canadian truck buyer needs but this all-new 2020 edition is far more.

Chevrolet has met every demand consumers had for their new truck and the 2020 Silverado is the result. It is, without a doubt, the most refined and comfortable pickup ever. Owners spend countless hours on board which is why the truck can be fitted with an 8-inch touchscreen, Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System, 10-way power front seats, Bose Premium audio, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and so much more.

Configuring a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado is an exercise in building a truck that will be tailored to your exact specifications. There are four body configurations, eight trims, from the basic Work Truck to the top-line High Country, and a vast number of options and packages that will ensure that your new truck will be as luxurious and capable as you’d like.

On the topic of capabilities, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the only truck in the entire segment that offers a 4-cylinder engine. Surprised? Concerned? Don’t be as this turbocharged mill produces a whopping 348 lb.-ft. of torque. For the typical do-it-all Work Truck, the 4.3-litre V6 is the way to go. From here, we step into the V8 zone.

The 5.3-litre V8, depending on your needs, can be equipped with dynamic or active fuel management. As the go-to engine, you’ll not find a more efficient and general-purpose capable engine anywhere. At the very top of the ladder is where the powerful 6.2-litre V8 and its 460 lb.-ft. of torque sit. With best-in-class 13,400-lb. maximum towing capacity, the 6.2-litre nets you power and V8 durability.

Finally, when seeking out the utmost in frugal power, only the all-new Duramax turbodiesel 3.0-litre inline-6-cylinder engine will do. This powerplant can tow up to 9,300 lb. or consume as little as 7.1L/100km on the highway.

On top of all this, the new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado is designed and built to be the most comfortable, refined and advanced pickup ever. It’s all here.
