When a future 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 next on standby. Here at West Chevy of Knoxville, we get a fairly steady stream of spy shots, keeping us up to date on details such as what the appearances of future models will be like, even if they may be heavily camouflaged 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 overtly-able and ready-to-haul pickups in 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 these models will be sporting more tiers of lights.
On the underside, LED as well as fog lights appear to be present, and the heavy body cladding does not provide a perfect look at the truck's front and rear stance, but the fenders appear to be more prominent than on models past. Another very noticeable difference between the Chevy and GMC versions is 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. The exact specs of any alterations to the powertrain are not known, but the Chevy and GMC feature adjustments and tweaks that will substantially improve their hauling capabilities. Getting work done quickly and possessing amazingly high levels of dependability are two traits that serious truck buyers are going to look for, and these are definitely traits these two proudly wear as a badge of long-standing honor.
There is supposed to be a hefty refresh on deck for the Duramax 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine, while the base engine options will most likely be the 6.0-liter Gasoline V8. 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 dropping into their heaviest-duty of models. The Chicago or Detroit Auto Shows will most likely be the site where these two will make their first appearance next year, and we guarantee that attendees will stand up and take notice of their stance and swagger right away!
The folks on staff at the Jalopnik blog claimed that after seeing a few spy shots themselves, that “The new heavy-duty Silverado HD is coming for you in your nightmares”, and gave it props for the bolder, larger proportions of the truck that make a serious impression immediately. Jokingly claiming that the future Silverado is a vehicle that will instill fear in the drivers of very tiny cars such as 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 legendary power gain more powerful new models in the future. The larger size is recognizable instantly, and will no doubt be a major draw for this illustrious truck line. Prepare to be rapidly taken aback and amazed: 2020 will arrive quickly, and so will all of the tough duties you'll have on your list to dish out for this ready-to-conquer duo!
