When a new future truck model is under development, it's no doubt that Chevy keeps the details heavily under wraps, and the next-generation Silverado HD is one of the ranks in the standby department. Here at O'Rielly Chevy of Tucson, we are able to obtain a fairly steady stream of spy shots, keeping us properly up to date on details such as what the appearances of future models will be like, even if they are cloaked under heavy camouflage during their secret outings. New shots that have just been leaked to us clearly show GM putting both the Chevy and GMC versions of these very trusty and ready-to-conquer pickups in their various body styles. The New Silverado HD appears to feature a very prominent bar in the grille that gives the truck a much rougher appearance, and the photos we saw suggest that both models will sport more tiers of lights.
Immediately evident on the underside, LED as well as fog lights appear to be present during the test runs, and the body cladding on the heavy side does not provide a perfect look at the truck's front and rear stance, but the fenders appear in the shots to be much more prominent than on past models. Another very noticeable difference between the GMC and Chevy versions is seen right at the front: the future Sierra HD appears to sport more bars in the grille, and the LED lights are situated above, instead of below these bars. At this point, the exact specs of the powertrain alterations aren't known, but the GMC and Chevy feature adjustments and tweaks that will substantially improve their hauling capabilities. Being able to get work done quickly, and possessing a hefty dependability factor are two of the traits that serious truck buyers are going to be on the hunt for, and these are both traits that these two trucks undoubtedly tout daily.
There is slated to be a hefty refresh on deck for the Duramax 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine, while the base engine option will most likely be the 6.0-liter Gasoline V8. The avid and dependable shifting duties are likely to be handled by the same six-speed automatic heavy-duty transmission, which is the same that Ford and Ram are still placing into their heaviest-duty models being sold currently. The Chicago or Detroit Auto Shows will most likely be the location where these two will make their first dazzling appearance next year, and we guarantee that attendees will be star-struck by their presence right away!
The very knowledgeable folks on staff at the Jalopnik blog claimed that after checking out a few spy shots for themselves, “The new heavy-duty Silverado HD is coming for you in your nightmares”, and gave it props for bolder, larger proportions of the truck that resonate with a serious impression right off the bat. Jokingly claiming that the future Silverado is a vehicle that will easily instill fear in the drivers of the tiny tin box likes of Renault and Fiat, their write-up in early April is a nod to how excited they are to see such a staple of hard-working and monumental power gain exciting new models in the future. The larger size is recognizable right away, and will not doubt be a large draw for this adamantly tough truck line. Prepare yourself to be quickly amazed and taken back: 2020 will arrive quickly, and so will all of the well-chiseled chores you'll have on your list to offer up for this massively can-do duo!
