2019 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty truck

Yet another impractical vehicle for Ascension Parish dads.





It comes with a choice of a 6.6L diesel V8 that produces 910 lb-ft of torque or a 6.6L gasoline V8.

As you can see, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD is big. Really big. Features editor Scott Evans stood next to one at a preview event and found the Duramax badge was almost at eye level. And those helpful bed steps you see in front of the rear wheels? Those are mid-thigh height. So if yo}re 6-foot-6 and need a new truck, look no further than the Silverado HD.

I think the front looks like a Ford, but the rest is okay. I like the step side. The exhaust looks like a cannon barrel.

Supposedly it's several sizes larger than the current HD trucks, and dwarfs the new half tons (which themselves were substantially larger than their predecessor).

The HD is physically bigger than the half-ton truck and looks absolutely nothing like it. The two trucks get completely different sheet metal with only the roof panel common to both half-ton and 2500/3500 models. Parked next to each other, as I saw them last month in Arizona, the new HD dwarfs the standard Silverado in practically every way — it's an absolute monster of a pickup truck.

Chevrolet says that the cab shares the same kind of improvements as the light-duty model does, with 3 inches more legroom for passengers and a taller, more upright driving position. The high bed can be accessed by a novel new integrated side step that's fitted to the forward part of the bedside. We weren't allowed to try it (the truck we saw was a clay model and we weren't allowed to even breathe on it too hard, lest it break), but it seems like a simpler way to get into the bed from the side of the truck without using the tire as a step.

Chevy will be making the new Silverado 2500/3500 at its truck plant in Flint, Mich., and says that sales will begin in mid-2019.
