For the past few years, the Silverado HD lagged behind the heavy-duty trucks from Ford and Ram. It wasn't as spacious and couldn't match the towing capacity of the Ford F-350 Super Duty or Ram 3500. But things have changed with the overhauled 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD. Thanks to a redesigned cabin with much more space than before, updated powertrains that deliver higher tow ratings across the board, and more tech to help manage whatever you decide to tow, haul or carry, the 3500HD is a far more compelling truck for 2020.
Like most everything in this class, the Silverado HD is available in a variety of configurations and trims. There are three cab configurations, two bed lengths and two engines to choose from. Additionally, you can select four-wheel drive or dual rear wheels for even more capability. On top of all that, there are a variety of trims, from a bare-bones Work Truck to a fully loaded High Country. If it sounds a bit convoluted, that's because it is, but it also means there's a Silverado 3500HD for just about every heavy-duty need.
All of this means the heavy-duty truck segment is more competitive than ever. We will say that you might prefer the Ram if you want a truck with a more luxurious-looking cabin. The 2020 F-350 gets a lot of updates too. But no one truck has a dramatic lead over another, so your final decision could simply come down to brand loyalty or personal preference.
Which Silverado 3500HD does Edmunds recommend?
For most shoppers, we recommend the midlevel LT trim. It includes a few useful upgrades compared to the Work Truck (such as additional USB ports), but the big benefit is a much larger pool of options and packages. Going with the LT helps keep the overall cost manageable, too. The new 6.6-liter gasoline V8 is stout, but if you plan to tow or haul heavy loads, we suggest opting for the 6.6-liter diesel V8.
2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD models
As with most full-size and heavy-duty pickup trucks, there's a lot to sort through with the Silverado HD. There are four trims — Work Truck, LT, LTZ and High Country — each one adding and offering more features and equipment than the last. Additionally, there are three cab configurations — regular, double (extended) and crew cab — with the latter two offering four full doors.
