What You Will Like

The Silverado 1500 has always covered a huge portion of the market, meaning there's always been a wide gulf between the base truck and the most expensive version. Pricing starts at around $29,000 for a no-frills work truck, with prices going up into the mid-$60,000s for models that feature massive towing capacity or for Cadillac-level luxury appointments.

What's New For 2020

After a full re-design last year, the Chevrolet Silverado expands its capabilities to more trim levels this year. Its 420-hp 6.2L V8 and 10-speed automatic transmission combo will now be optional on Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss trims. Maximum trailering capacity increases to 13,400 pounds when properly equipped and Chevrolets 10-speed transmission can also now be paired with the 5.3L V8 engine on certain Silverado trim levels. Also new this year is Chevrolets camera-based cruise control offered in LT, LTZ and High-Country trim levels.
