2020 Silverado HD's Mammoth Towing Capacity Outlined in Autoblog.com




Just before its reveal at Chicago Auto Show, the 2020 Chevy Silverado HD was proudly presented at an event in Flint, Michigan. The folks on staff at Autoblog.com now claim that this truck comes aptly armed with the ability to tow an astounding 35,000 pounds. This is more than just a casually notable increase, as it resides at a total increase of 52 percent. Payload is way up as well, now sitting at a very able and agile 7,466 pounds. Everyone here on duty at O'Rielly Chevy is consistently in awe at the power source that makes this all possible: the monstrous Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8.



Producing 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque, there is now a larger 28-inch mechanical fan on board to keep the hard-working diesel engine cool. GM is actively pairing this engine with the brand-new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, and the engine boasts a very modern and high-tech trait: it has the “smarts” to protect itself after a huge haul. If it's too hot after the completion of a heavy job, a message located in the cluster will tell the driver to keep the engine on, and if that nudge is ignored, the remote-start system will automatically engage to cool the engine down accordingly.



Every single component located between the wheels and transmission have been upgraded heartily to take on the brunt of the increased towing load. The prop shaft is now 30 percent larger, and the box ladder frame as well as axles have an increased rigidity and toughness to fully weather the most demanding of drives. Tell us which proposed grille from these images here is your favorite, as everyone who loves driving the Silverado has for the most part loved the “big and bigger” mantra that has been the defining vibe of annual grille evolution! Much painstaking effort has been put into making this truck tow-friendly, and the Ram Heavy Duty as well as 2019 Ford Super Duty numbers were outdone in terms of the revamp.



When hard-working people from all walks of life tell us what they need in a truck, many of the solutions stem from the abundance of modern camera angles. Just a decade or so ago you could not have access to valuable sight lines that literally protect your investment, and keep you safe during harrowing backups and beyond. We are very proud of our new trailering system that provides up to 15 camera angles, with one of them being the “transparent trailer” view that aids you in viewing any obstacles in the rear. It's also imperative that you check out the brand-new Park Grade Hold Assist Feature: with it you can now use all four service brakes to ensure the truck's held stoppage on a hill while carrying a heavy load. If chrome happens to be your thing, make sure to feast your eyes on the LT and LTZ trims: they don't skimp on the royal silver treatment, and up the ante for appearance on the Silverado to the nines!
