Chevy Stays Ahead of the Game with the New and Improved Silverado
Chevy continues to prove why it's an American bestseller with its brand-new line of Chevrolet Silverados. Whether you go with the Silverado's 1500, 2500 HD, or 3500 HD model, what you'll be getting is a robust work truck with state-of-the-art tech folded into its powerful frame.
From navigation to towing, this iconic heavy-duty pickup is ready to tackle any task, big or small—all thanks to a collection of new features that are making this next-gen Chevy a dependable standby.
Chevy Infotainment Keeps You Connected
All your messages, music, and calls are only a few taps away with the Silverado's Chevy Infotainment 3 System, an upgrade to the older MyLink that Chevy loyalists will fondly remember. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let your smartphone perfectly integrate with the Silverado's sleek, straightforward touchscreen display.
Anyone worried about unresponsive tech and complicated menus can rest easy thanks to intuitive menu design and sizable buttons. These will keep drivers from dangerously fumbling at the controls, tumbling through menu after menu just to change the nav destination.
Cutting-Edge Driver Assistance
The Chevy Silverado takes advantage of new tech to keep you safe on the road, with its new adaptive cruise control and rear-seat child reminder alarms joining a wide variety of safety options. Some, like the Safety Package's blind-spot warning alerts and front/rear parking sensors, are designed to better your everyday driving experience. The higher-level trims will also enjoy more advanced features, like automatic emergency braking and collision alerts.
Others are more geared toward the Silverado's workhorse functions, like surround-vision cameras and trailering mirrors to make towing an oversized load much easier. These can go a long way in providing visibility with traditional trailering blind spots.
Serious Power for Serious Hauling
While less obvious than the shiny new toys found in the interior, Chevy enthusiasts will be delighted by the Silverado's updated powertrain, which includes robust new V-8 and turbo-diesel engine options that can output a vigorous amount of torque, ideal for hauling heavy loads without feeling like you're handling a school bus. The new turbo-diesel engine also has the accolade of having the best fuel economy in its segment without sacrificing a smooth, powerful ride.
Opting in for the optional Performance packages can boost the horsepower of the Silverado's engine even further, with the 10-speed automatic transmission effortlessly shifting its power around as you drive uphill or take a tight corner without a problem.
High-Tech for Hard Towing
The 2020 Chevy Silverado backs up its tough powertrain with the newest technologies that take the stress (and danger) out of towing.
Smartphone integration goes beyond minor conveniences, serving as your personal assistant so drivers can confidently haul a load onto the road without a worry. Chevy's Advanced Trailering System (ATS) pairs with the myChevrolet Mobile App to ensure complete safety before you even pull your trailer out of the driveway. A light test and pre-departure checklist are a few of the features that you can program into custom profiles for different loads and different hauls.
Once you're on the road, the ATS can monitor the status of your trailer, alerting you to conditions like low tire pressure or upcoming regular maintenance. Long drives become easy when you're confident that your trailer is hooked up in good condition.
They become even easier with the Silverado's Enhanced Digital Variable Steering Assist, which can automatically guide your steering according to changing road conditions and the speed of your truck, keeping dangerous occurrences like lane drift out of your weekend wilderness trek.
See Up, Down, and All-Around
You can't move a trailer that you can't see. Chevy fixes that by providing the Silverado with camera packages that total a whopping 15 different views of your trailer. From when you connect your trailer to the moment you're pulling into the campsite, the Silverado's surround-vision cameras give you clear visibility to ensure safe, precise maneuvering.
With the available cameras, you have a rear top-down view to check your truck bed's clearance, a hitch view for trailer connection, and even a virtual transparent view to see "through" your trailer to the road behind you.
Overall, the new Silverado has brought with it a set of very impressive improvements from its predecessor which has made it even more dependable than it already was.
Safety and convenience are the names of the game that the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado is ready to deliver with its high-tech assortment of major-league upgrades.
