2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500: First Look – PickupTrucks.com
Cars.com:
this is our first chance to see the 2020
Chevy Silverado heavy duties right next
to me is a 2500 LTZ and you can look at
it and tell that this is an all-new
pickup truck powertrain design interior
everything has been completely redone as
far as powertrains the carryover Duramax
diesel is gonna come to the new 2020
Silverado HD s what you have here are
some Auto Show cables so it might look a
little bit different but still the exact
same carry over engine 445 horsepower
910 foot-pounds of torque but now has a
10 speed heavy-duty Allison transmission
made it up to it also the big news in
all-new 6.6 liter direct injection v8
engine 401 horsepower 464 foot-pounds of
torque now that new gas engine is also
made it up to a revised six-speed
transmission and also one thing to
consider here if you're doing any work
on your engine on these new heavy duties
they're a little taller than they were
before so when you're trying to reach
for this hood it's a little difficult
inside everything is going to be very
familiar to the Silverado half-ton
pickup truck regular extended and crew
cab is going to be larger more legroom
especially for rear passengers but the
inside - very very similar to what we've
already seen on the half tons dual glove
boxes this is the LTZ package very nice
organic looking center console plenty of
storage here in the middle and also a
uniquely designed gauge cluster for the
driver another feature we like an
all-wheel drive capable transfer case on
a heavy duty vehicle that's a segment
exclusive here at the back of the truck
we love the fact that it's got the rear
view cameras push button tailgate drop
does it automatically you also have four
fifth wheel or gooseneck hitches you've
got the 4 and the 7 pin hitches here on
the inside also a three-prong 120 volt
plug here on the opposite side and then
you've got almost 7 inches of extra
width in the beds and the longest beds
in the segment no matter what the cab
configuration
and then because this has the auto
dropout a lift tailgate one push button
and it'll send the tailgate right back
up and closed
there's obviously tons to talk about
with this new vehicle and we will be
talking more about this after we get
some time behind the wheel but to call
out just two features that we really
like the DEF tank is right here at the
fuel filler and the fact is that every
single duly equipped Chevy heavy-duty
Silverado 3500 with the diesel will be
able to tow over thirty five thousand
pounds for more information go to pickup

Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado: Battle for Pickup Truck Supremacy | Edmunds Video
Edmunds:
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: This is Edmunds
exclusive three-way comparison
of America's most
popular pickups.
We'll drive them on the
road, take them to our track,
tow an airstream trailer, and
even put a quad in the bed.
After all that, we'll tell
you which one is the best.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This is the
all new Ram 1500 pickup.
We've been big fans of
the Ram for a long time
because last time around,
they added coil spring
rear suspension, which made
the ride just so supple,
and it made really
good towing stability.
This particular
example is a Laramie.
It's a nicely equipped truck,
it's not too expensive,
and from here, you can add all
sorts of interesting options.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: And this is
the all new Chevy Silverado.
It's redesigned from the
ground up with different body
and frame materials.
It's longer, taller, and
wider than the previous model.
And what we've got here
is the LTZ trim level.
Now, this one's got
the 5.3 liter V8,
but it's also mated with
the new 8-speed automatic.
We picked it because we like it
right in the middle of Chevy's
line.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: The Ford F-150
is one of the top selling
vehicles in America.
It's well-known for its
lightweight aluminum
construction and a wide variety
of trim and engine options.
For our test, we have
the mid-level lariat
with a 3.5 liter V6 EcoBoost.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're going
to put these trucks
through their paces
to see which one
is the best one you can buy.
Let's get to it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Getting
into the F-150
is more like walking
into an apartment
than it is getting into a truck.
For me, the truck is
actually almost too big.
I feel like I'm
floating around in here,
and I can't reach all
of the soft spots.
But I can reach
all of the controls
very easily with the
exception of the trailer brake
adjustment, which
makes Dan really angry.
The interior looks really
nice from a distance,
but as you get
closer, the materials
aren't as nice as they look.
They're plasticky and hard.
Two things I really
like about this truck
that I think are very unique are
the way that the doors or cut.
It gives a lot of visibility
and it also looks interesting.
I also like where the
door handles are placed.
They're tucked away in here,
and you hit them from the top
rather than pulling
them from the side.
It's pretty cool and
they're really easy to use.
Overall, I think
that the interior
is nice, but not exceptional.
It's really something that's
best viewed from far away.
I bet it looks great in photos.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So
this is the inside
of the all-new Silverado.
There are some small changes,
some things that are nicer.
For instance, this
touch screen is new.
It's got new graphics
that looks pretty good.
And also this giant
center console is new.
And one of the things
I like about this is it
feels very at home for a truck.
It's simple and everything
is at an arm's reach.
One of the things
I'm not a huge fan of
is how far out this dash
feels like it sticks.
Feels like it intrudes in
the cabin a little bit,
and also intrudes on this
center console space.
And also this little
bin here, there's
not much to organize it.
Your things are just
going to slide around.
For instance, if your
phone is mounted up here--
you hit a curb, it's
just going to fall over.
But basically, this is the
Silverado's new interior
and I'm a fan, but
it doesn't wow me
as much as some of the
other competitors do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This new
Ram is really impressive,
and you see it the
moment you get inside.
One of the things I
really like about this,
and I'm surprised to
hear myself say it,
is this center
console is amazing.
All the actions here--
I mean, this is big.
You could put a couple of
purses and a laptop in here
at the same time.
You can put your drinks here.
Look at this, my
phone's plugged in,
but it snaps in there
with the cord attached.
The other thing I like
is the Uconnect system.
Now, Apple CarPlay,
Android Auto--
the 8.4 inch Uconnect and
this one both have it.
It's all really easy to use.
There's swiping, and pinch
zoom, and all of that stuff.
Another unique feature
is the sunroof.
I'm not a huge fan though,
because it's $1,300.
It's quiet when it's open, but
it does let in a lot of heat.
Overall, the Ram 1500's
interior is on another level.
The other two trucks feel
like they're catering
to their existing buyers.
This one looks like it's trying
to win over new converts,
and I think it will.
All of these trucks
are crew cabs.
Ram used to be third
place out of these three.
But this year they've
added four inches
to the wheelbase, four inches
to the length of the cabin--
they put all of it back here.
But what's really good about
the Ram is the seat back
angle is much more
pleasing, and they do this.
Ah-- the others can't
match this right now.
But also, if that
wasn't enough, we've
got a center console--
a pretty big one.
The whole center of
the seat folds down,
and there's a couple
of cup holders here.
The back seat area of the Ram
has the other ones covered.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: One of
the main reasons people
can carry around their toys.
We've got this 750
pound Honda Rubicon.
I'm going to load it
into all three trucks
and see how it goes.
All right, so let's open
up the Chevy power up,
power down tailgate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Woo, fancy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well done, Trav.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
So are you putting all the
ratchets in the front, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: I'm going to put
one on each side in the front.
And I'm going to go
for the lowest hook
down here just because
that seems to be
when I get the best angle.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: OK.
A lot of guys, if they
get this further forward,
they're going to bend it up
halfway and strap it down,
or a lot of people will
just roll with it like this.
DAN EDMUNDS: You could
buy a longer truck.
[LAUGHING]
This crew cab-- if
you get the quad cab,
you're going to
get a longer bed.
ELANA SCHERR: I never
realized that that
was what quad cab meant.
You can put a quad in it.
DAN EDMUNDS: Well,
I guess that's it.
Touche.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: All right.
Well, let's take
it out of the bed
here and put it in
the other trucks.
DAN EDMUNDS: Going to need this.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
Safety first.
DAN EDMUNDS: All right.
ELANA SCHERR: Well done.
All right, Dan, let's get the
quad in the back of this one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yep.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So it's damped,
but it's not a power tail gate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Not power,
this is just dampened.
ELANA SCHERR: Also
(GRUNTING) no step on this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All
right, there we go.
All clear.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Woo!
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That
was a little fast, man.
ELANA SCHERR: You were
right earlier, Dan.
You said this bed
was a lot shorter,
and it really is-- like, you
have almost the entire tire
out.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: These tires
are completely on the tailgate.
Which one has a better system
in the back, you think?
DAN EDMUNDS: The
Chevy's lower tie downs,
I like that a little better.
But it's also got a
slightly longer bed.
Although neither one of them
was long enough for this ramp
to fit in with the
tailgate closed
without putting it in sideways.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Let's
take it out of the Ford
and put it in the Ram.
DAN EDMUNDS: There you go.
ELANA SCHERR: Oh, beautiful.
DAN EDMUNDS: Like butter.
ELANA SCHERR: Show
off for me, Dan.
(SURPRISED) What?
Magic.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, right?
If I had my hands
full from Home Depot,
I wouldn't have to
put anything down.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah, but I
still don't have a step.
At least I have a little
handhold on this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're good.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Nice!
DAN EDMUNDS: All right,
that was a little better.
You only got a
little bit of air.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: The tie downs--
how well would you compare them
to Ford?
DAN EDMUNDS: Well, the
thing about the tie downs
is they're nice and
low, so I like that.
And they're really big.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
Those are much larger than--
DAN EDMUNDS: Even the Chevy's
TRAVIS LANGNESS: --Ford
ones, especially in the rear.
And this is sitting almost
completely on the tailgate,
right?
ELANA SCHERR: I think
it's right in between.
I think the Chevy
had the most room,
and the Ford was the shortest.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Well, let's
take the quad out of the back
here and move on
to the next test.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Expert
level unlocked.
[LAUGHING]
So we successfully loaded
the quad in all three trucks.
Any of them would work.
Do you guys feel like there was
one that was a clear winner?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
I know it's the truck I
brought, but I like the Chevy.
The multiple tie
downs, and the fact
that you had that side-step on
the tailgate to get in and out.
I felt like that
made it the easiest.
ELANA SCHERR: I
definitely liked the step.
What about you, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, I agree.
But I do like the Ram's hooks
because they're really low
and they're really big.
I was able to put two
straps on them with ease.
So, not bad, but yeah, the
Chevy's a little better.
ELANA SCHERR: Sounds like
the Chevy wins this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
To do a full-on tow test
on any one of these trucks
would take the whole episode.
But we wanted to illustrate
some of the tow tech
and how easy it is to use.
To do that, we've got
this Airstream 25FB--
it's the Flying Cloud.
And it's about 25 feet
long, about 6,500 pounds,
and it'll be great to showcase
what these trucks can do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPING]
DAN EDMUNDS: I wonder
where Travis and Elana are?
They're leaving me to
do all the hard work.
Want a soda back there?
ELANA SCHERR: (GROGGILY) Wha?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: Good to go.
The Ford works pretty well.
The problem I found
there is they've
got this Pro Trailer
Backup Assist
system that they talk
about, which sounds great,
but it's theoretical because I
can't use it on this trailer.
This sticker is supposed to
go somewhere in this area.
And you can see the propane
tanks are in the way,
so I can't install this
on the trailer, which
means I can't use Pro
Trailer Backup Assist.
The Silverado, it's
got a lot of power,
but the camera
wasn't my favorite.
To me, the Ram is
golden because it's
got a much better camera
that's easier to use.
Time to roll.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We then hit the highway and
headed for the nearest hill.
All three were able to pull
it up the grade easily,
but the F-150 felt more
willing, while the Ram
was the most stable in
corners and cross winds.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well, the
F-150, or the F-series trucks,
are the best selling
trucks, right.
We talked about that.
And I can see why
people like them.
It's a really predictable
truck, it does everything
that you need it to
do, it's quite quick.
They have a ton of
different options
for engines and interiors, so
you can find one that you like.
The engine in this truck
it is never working hard,
which is not something I
normally say about turbo V6s.
Even if they have
a lot of power,
you're way on the throttle
to make that happen.
That is not how I feel here.
I feel like you can use just a
very small throttle application
and be right up
to cruising speed.
There's a little bit of
delay-- a little lag, mostly
if you surprise it, and that
might be in the transmission.
DAN EDMUNDS: Now, that
10-speed here is really clever.
I mean, you don't know that it
has 10 gears to choose from,
because it's really nice
at picking the right gear
at the right time.
So you don't feel like it's
shifting all over the place.
So this is a really
nicely sorted 10-speed.
ELANA SCHERR: This is an
extremely comfortable truck.
You get a little bit of
road feel, but not a lot.
In fact, I think Chevrolet
was a little more road feel,
and definitely more road noise.
One of the things that really
stood out to me in this truck
is how quiet it is in the cab.
I think it's a
good looking truck,
and they also did a pretty
nice redesign on the nose.
And so, it's very striking.
The lights in the grill are
integrated really beautifully,
and there's a lot
of small details
that you'll appreciate if you
spend a lot of time looking
at the truck.
DAN EDMUNDS: They've got
these huge mirrors, though.
They're a little too huge.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah,
the mirrors are ugly,
and I already hit
a bush with them,
and not even on a small street.
If you put this truck
against the Silverado
and asked me which one was
more recently redesigned,
I would think this
was the newer truck
and that was the older one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
ELANA SCHERR: I am
a little bit proud
that the truck
that I brought has
the best numbers at
the track, and it also
has the highest torque.
So it's a 375 horse, but
it is-- you ready for this?
470 torque.
That has all the
torques, and I win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: [LAUGHING]
It's all the torques.
DAN EDMUNDS: Wow, you do win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That has
a lot to do with the fact
that this one is turbocharged
while the other trucks are
naturally aspirated.
And one of the
other things that's
interesting about the track
performance in these trucks
is all of them stopped from 60
to zero in our panic braking
test within feet of each other.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah,
that's pretty good.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That's
pretty remarkable.
DAN EDMUNDS: Those numbers were
about five or six feet better
than they were the last
time these trucks were new.
So there's been
improvement over time.
And that's good to see
because trucks have always had
the longest stopping distances.
And they still do, but
now, the gap isn't so big.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah.
I feel like all the
manufacturers are really
recognizing that
people use trucks
for a lot of different reasons.
I mean, towing
toys, towing horses,
but also just as daily drivers.
And they're really
working on making
them safer, and more
comfortable, and more
pleasurable to drive.
So that's nice.
It's good to know that the
audience is being heard.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I
know this sounds weird,
but the Ford is the most
fun to drive for me.
The handling and the steering,
for me, are the best.
But those may not be things
that people that want a track
are concerned with.
DAN EDMUNDS: I like
the Ford's powertrain--
it's really powerful.
And the 10-speed
automatic is just
so nicely calibrated when you're
towing, when you're not towing.
I really like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Travis,
you've spent the most time
of any of us in this truck.
But to me, just getting in
it, it doesn't look new.
TRAVIS LANGNESS:
That's the impression
I not only got when I first
saw the truck, but after 1,400
miles in the truck from
Wyoming to Los Angeles.
It doesn't feel
completely redesigned.
And also, under the
hood it feels the same.
So the 5.3 liter V8 gets a
new fuel management system.
And now, it's paired to the
8-speed automatic instead
of the 6-speed, which has
a little bit faster shifts
and it's a little
quieter on the highway.
I like that it
doesn't rev as high.
ELANA SCHERR: Dan is going to
hate me for this because there
is no scientific
way to measure it,
but Travis how do
you feel the truck
jealousy is on this truck?
And you know what
I'm talking about.
It's like, who's looking at it?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I do.
I do.
This one I feel
like is particularly
polarizing-- just the new
Chevy look in general.
It's got a lot of
chrome on the front end.
Some people love it,
some people hate it.
From the back on the
sides, some people
can't really tell
the difference.
And then, of course, the
power tailgate in the back.
You load all your stuff
and you press the button,
and they've got to push it up.
There's a little bit
of truck jealousy
there, just a small amount.
ELANA SCHERR: You
nailed it when you said
the front end is polarizing.
I mean, it's got these
weird origami folds,
and like slots and tabs,
which I guess are for aero,
but they are unusual looking.
DAN EDMUNDS: I mean, I
like the new Silverado,
but it doesn't feel like
a brand new Silverado.
It feels very evolutionary,
not revolutionary.
ELANA SCHERR: I'd
be happy to drive it
but I don't want to look at it.
[LAUGHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One of the things that I noticed
about the Ram when I got in it
was that the steering
felt a little heavier,
but in a good way.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, it
has really good feedback.
You really know which way the
tires are pointed at all times.
You get a really good
sense of straight
ahead when you're
driving straight.
You don't have to make
a lot of corrections,
you don't have to
think about it.
It goes where you want to go.
And in corners it feels nice,
when driving straight it
feels nice.
This is the best steering
of the bunch by far.
Whatever they've done,
it works, and I like it.
The ride comfort
is nicely damped.
It's quiet, there isn't
a lot of road noise.
The engine makes
a noise you like
to hear when you lay into it.
But when you just
cruise, it just
fades into the
background-- there's not
a lot of wind noise.
This thing is
really nice riding.
I mean, what you
see is what you get.
This truck has coil
spring suspension
which is really good.
There's less friction
when it hits a bump.
The other thing I
really like, the fenders
are cut down real tight
to the headlights,
and it's really easy to see
the corners of the truck.
It feels like I
could see it right
in front of it,
which is something I
can't say for the other trucks.
ELANA SCHERR: Is
this the biggest
engine you can get in a Ram?
DAN EDMUNDS: It is.
The 507 HEMI is the
top of the range.
There's two versions
of it, though.
They both make it
395 horsepower,
which is more than
the other to trucks,
and 410 pound feet of torque.
The 507 HEMI that we have here
does not have the new eTorque
system-- that's coming soon.
And that system is a mild
hybrid system that basically
improves fuel economy.
This one is good
for 17 MPG combined,
but the eTorque version will
be good for 19 MPG combined,
which is the same
as the 3.5 EcoBoost.
This is the 8-speed that
Ram introduced in 2014
in the last generation
truck about halfway through.
And we really liked it then
when it first came out.
We had a long-term EcoDiesel
with that transmission,
and it was perfect.
ELANA SCHERR: I can easily
imagine the Ram engineers
sitting together in a
room and really saying
what do truck buyers
want, what do they need,
and how do we give it
to them, because that's
what this truck feels like.
DAN EDMUNDS: To me, the Ram
is the best truck to drive.
I really like the steering,
the 8-speed transmission
does everything I need it to do.
There's plenty of power, and the
link coil suspension not only
rides nice, it's also really
stable when you're towing.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: It's definitely
a classy look that I enjoy,
not only parked in my driveway,
but driving it on the highway.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All three of
these are solid trucks,
and fans of each brand
won't have any trouble
if they buy a new one.
But we've got to pick a winner.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: In third place,
we had the Chevy Silverado.
It's completely redesigned
and more capable than ever.
But in our tests,
it doesn't have
quite what it takes to edge
out the Ford and the Ram.
ELANA SCHERR: We really
liked all three trucks.
But from the very
beginning one stood out,
and it wasn't the Ford.
The F-150 might be the number
one selling truck in America,
but it turned out
number two in our test.
DAN EDMUNDS: That leaves the Ram
1500 as the winner of our test.
It's Edmunds top-rated truck.
The others may satisfy
brand loyalists,
but this one could
win some converts.
Well, that was fun.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I
had a great time.
We got to do it again,
but first, dinner.
GROUP: Tacos.

The First 5 Silverado Parts You Should Buy For Your 2019 Chevy Silverado - The Haul
AmericanTrucks Chevy & GMC:
Hey, guys.
It's Sara with americantrucks.com.
And in this episode of "THE HAUL" we're gonna
check out the first five mods that I picked
for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500.
There's been a lot of buzz about the 2019
Silverado and its new look that really stands
out in the crowd of pickups.
Now this new design looks and functions great
but good luck telling us not to modify our
truck to make it even better.
So without further ado, here are my pics for
the 2019 Silverado's first five mods.
Most trucks have a slight rake from the factory
which means the back of your truck is going
to sit a bit higher than the front to aid
in towing.
So those of you who don't like this look or
don't plan to tow on a daily basis, a leveling
kit is a great solution to the factory rake.
A leveling kit, as the name implies, brings
up the front of your truck so it sits level
with the rear.
Also if you're looking to comfortably add
larger tires to your truck, a leveling kit
will ensure you can run larger wheels and
tires by giving you that much needed suspension
lift in the front.
Now a lift kit will also remove the factory
rake and will allow you to run larger tires
but they can get much higher price wise because
they require additional parts and a much more
involved installation process.
A leveling kit is a great entry-level and
much more budget-friendly solution.
So with that in mind, I chose the Pro Comp
Suspension 2.25-Inch Leveling Kit because
it's a relatively simple and budget-friendly
way to prepare your truck for larger wheels
and tires.
This leveling kit allows for the addition
of up to 33-inch tires while still leaving
plenty of room for clearance when driving
and eliminates that factory rake.
This kit consists of two strut spacers for
each side that will increase the front of
your truck 2.25 inches, giving your truck
a more level appearance.
The spaces are constructed from billet aluminum
and the kit includes a top and bottom spacer
simplifying the installation process.
Because of the way this kit is designed with
two spacers instead of just one large top
spacer, install can be completed without dropping
the lower control arm.
Although this leveling kit is considerably
less complicated to install than a full lift
kit, you'll still need a professional alignment
afterwards.
And because this kit features direct bolt-on
installation, there's no permanent modification
to your truck if you choose to go back to
stock or upgrade to a lift down the road.
Lifts or leveling kits just beg for aftermarket
wheels and tires, so now that our truck is
level, let's move onto our next mod, wheels
and tires.
I chose this 20x9 Fuel Maverick Wheel in Gloss
Black wrapped in this Nitto Terra Grappler
G2 All-Terrain Tire.
It's a 275/60R20 which is equivalent to about
a 33-inch tire.
I went with an all-terrain tire because it
really is the best of both worlds.
You get the upgraded look and function over
an all-season like the ones that come factory.
These are going to give you more grip in off-road
situations but the all-terrain isn't going
to be as noisy as a mud terrain so you can
still take your truck on the highway.
If you're looking to get the best of both
worlds and you're planning to take your truck
off-roading on occasion or you just want to
add some performance to your daily driver,
these tires are an excellent choice.
This 20x9 wheel features one-piece aluminum
construction with a gloss black milled finish.
They have an offset of only plus one millimeter,
so they sit flush with your fenders similar
to stock but the 20-inch Fuel wheel is a nice
appearance upgrade over the factory 18s.
The wheel style really does come down to personal
preference and I like this particular set
because it delivers that upgraded look without
being too over the top.
This setup fills the wheel well nicely and
still leaves room for your suspension to travel
without hitting or rubbing.
A set of side steps is another popular first
mod for truck owners and for good reason.
Side steps make it easier to get into your
truck especially if it's lifted and allows
you to add a bit of side protection and some
of your own style in the process.
There are a ton of options out there for side
steps but I pick these Barricade HD Steps
because of their unique drop step design and
the black powder coat that goes nicely with
the look of our truck.
The Barricade HD steps feature a drop step
which brings down the stepping surface and
comes in handy especially if your truck is
lifted or leveled like ours.
These Barricade steps feature a tubular steel
construction with a textured black powder
coat finish and with the raised steel step
pads to provide easy access to your truck
in all weather.
These are a great option because they deliver
the aggressive look of a high-end drop step
while still leaving some money in your pocket
for other modifications.
Stock exhausts are almost always lacking soundwise.
With large restrictive mufflers from the factory,
you can barely hear the 5.3-liter engine roar.
One of the first modifications that most truck
owners do is swap out the stock exhaust for
something that is sure to wake it up and make
the drive more enjoyable.
I chose the Corsa sport system because of
its great fit, high-quality materials and
it delivers an aggressive sound.
I'm giving it a four out of five on the loudest
meter and here is a quick before and after
sound click.
This exhaust is designed for those who are
looking for not only an upgrade in sound overstock
but also an upgrade in appearance.
This Corsa exhaust features mandrel-bent 304-stainless
steel construction with twin 4-inch gloss
black tips.
The black tips are an upgrade when compared
to the factory slash exhaust that really is
lacking any tip at all and they compliment
the wheels that I've chosen pretty nicely.
Don't let its sleek appearance fool you, though.
This one packs a punch as one of the louder
options for the new Silverado.
We had a lot of fun with this exhaust.
Corsa really hit the nail on the head with
this system.
It produces that aggressively loud growl on
the outside and you still get some dude exhaust
sounds in the cabin with no drone when cruising.
You want to be able to hear your exhaust without
being overpowered by it while driving, and
this Corsa sports system delivers just that.
Many truck owners choose to add a tonneau
cover to their truck to protect the contents
of their bed from the elements and would-be
thieves but they also deliver the added bonus
of a more sleek appearance.
There are many different styles of tonneau
cover and they all have their pros and cons.
I think the tri-fold styles combines all of
the best features we would want out of a tonneau.
So let's get into why I chose this Undercover
Ultra Flex Tonneau for our first five mods.
Tri-fold tonneaus are one of the more popular
styles of tonneau because of their design.
This folding hardcover not only provides protection
from the elements but because it is a hardcover,
it provides more protection from would-be
thieves as well.
This tonneau is constructed from heavy-duty
aluminum and features a textured black finish
with a light that slides into the rail system
as an added bonus.
In addition, the tri-fold style folds all
the way up to the back of the bed in seconds
and locks in various positions so you can
still haul larger cargo.
This undercover tonneau does all this while
adding a sleek appearance with its flush design
that compliments your new Silverado.
So that's gonna do it for my first five mods.
I want to hear what you guys think or what
you would pick in the comments below.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado - Review & Road Test
Kelley Blue Book:
When Chevrolet first revealed their
fourth-generation full-size Silverado
they dangled it from a helicopter onto a
massive stage.
Hey, our reveal is just as extravagant.
Okay so maybe we need more helicopter
budget, but we're on dirt and those used to be pine trees. So here it is the
fourth-generation Chevy Silverado.
Okay, I can't.
You know I'm not sure this looks that
different from the previous model. There
are four grille options, this is one of
them and it's bigger and beefier than
the previous generation, but other than
that it looks pretty much like a
Silverado. It does have a steeper
windshield and adds a roof spoiler for
better aerodynamics, but also rides an
inch higher than the third generation.
Thanks to its new bigness the second row
in the crew cab expanded. There are three
more inches back here of space for your
legs, but if you prefer to haul stuff
inside the 60/40 seats fold up. There are
a lot of cool storage spaces.
Check out that cubby. It's pretty neat.
This is bigger than some apartments I've
lived in.
Bed size also benefits from the
Silverado's expansion to the tune of
seven inches of width thanks to GM now
stamping the beds into pieces. It's also
stronger, which is a good thing for tough
payload.
Even the 12 standard tie-down loops are
stronger, and there's an optional power
tailgate, which we think is cool. The
Silverado comes in eight models. The Work Truck
comes with vinyl or cloth seats
and 17-inch wheels, remote keyless entry,
a USB port, seven-inch touchscreen and
Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system with
Apple CarPlay and Android Audo. Optional
safety features include front and rear
parking assist, lane change alerts with
blind zone warnings, and rear
cross-traffic alerts. Those are some good
options for a base model truck. The
Custom trim adds 20-inch aluminum wheels
and LED tail lights. The Trail Boss adds
a 2-inch lift and the optional Z71
off-road package, which of course
requires four-wheel-drive and includes a
locking rear differential, skid plates,
and 18-inch Goodyear Duratrack tires
for off-roading. Step up to the LT trim
and there's the aforementioned
optional off-road equipment, an
eight-inch touchscreen comes standard as
well as a step up to the 8-speed
automatic transmission from the 6-speed
in lower trims. Hill descent control is
also a good option for when you're
coming down from all those mountains
you're driving over. The LT Trail Boss
includes the off-road capabilities of
the custom Trail Boss. Looking for a
sporty or Silverado the RST trim
includes body coloured exterior trim LED
lighting and 22s.
This high country is at the top of the
Silverado trim mountain, and it is swank
at the summit. Everything is covered in
leather and it's pretty comfy in here in
a truckie kind of way. Both front seats
are heated and ventilated and the
driver's side has 10-way power
adjustment including lumbar. Micah!
It's wireless charging capable and the
storage in the center console is so big
you could probably fit a whole bucket of
fried chicken in there.The Bose audio
system is awesome, you know what, if I
went camping I would probably just stay
in here. Six powertrain choices are
offered on the Silverado. Those larger
two are new options and include GM's new
dynamic fuel management system which is
able to use as few as two cylinders
cutting fuel to the rest for improved
fuel economy. The diesel option is new too. Some EPA numbers weren't available for
various power trains at the time of this
videos making, but here are those that
are.
The 4.3-liter V6 offers up 285
hp and 305 pound-feet of torque.
The 6.2-liter V8, which is in this High
Country crew cab I'm driving has 420
horses and 460 pound-feet of torque. With
a curb weight of 5,000 pounds, a payload
capacity of a little over 2,100 pounds,
and towing capabilities of 12,000 pounds
I'd say that power is going to come in
really handy. That's cute.
Incidentally that's less towing capacity
than a similarly powered Ford F-150 but
more than the RAM 1500 and the same as
the GMC Sierra, which makes sense because
they share power trains. But how does it
drive I hear you ask? You know what? I
have a really good way to find out. Why
thank you.
On the road the Silverado feels sturdy
and solid but surprisingly un-trucky. It
actually drives like a much smaller
vehicle. That might be thanks to Chevy
shaving off up to 450
pounds depending on which Silverado you
drive. The Silverado makes easy work of
curvy mountain roads and is maneuverable
enough to not get you in too much
trouble when parking in relatively tight
spots. The High Country's more refined
road manners are partly due to a 10-
speed automatic transmission with which
it is equipped. Shifts are quick and
smooth. It's tight ratios keep the engine
closer to peak power when at full
throttle. It also makes for easier
operation when towing. It's too bad this
transmission is only an option on the LT
trim and above with the diesel or 6.2-
liter engine. The cabin is quiet. I don't
hear the road and there's no notable
vibration or noise coming from the
engine when that DFM system is doing its
thing. You know if someone was looking
for a midsize crossover alternative with
more utility and towing capacity then
the Silverado drives nicely enough that
it should be considered an option.
Base price on the Work Truck will cost
you around $31,200 including
destination. Our tricked-out High Country,
which is at the top of the spending
spectrum is more like $67,000. This one
also has the Deluxe package that
includes safety features like forward
collision alert, lane keep assist with
lane departure warning, low speed forward
automatic braking. It also has a sunroof,
all-season tires, as well as the Tech
package that gives us the surround
vision camera and head-up display. Those
safety features come in handy especially
in a big truck like this. Sometimes
little things like Miatas or cyclists
are really hard to see. You know, I kind of
feel like the blind spot warning is
pretty much on all the time in this
thing.
The purchasing sweet spot though is
probably the LT trim that starts at just
under 40 large and comes standard with
the 5.3-liter engine and the 8-speed
transmission, but is optional with the
diesel engine mated to the 10-speed. It
also opens up more optional packages
that include tilting and telescoping
steering wheel and navigation. If you're
in the market for a full-size truck the
fourth-generation Silverado has a lot of
competition to check out including the
F-150, Sierra, Ram 1500 and even the
Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra,
but the Silverado has a lot of great
qualities to consider. It's well equipped,
nicely powered and a good-looking truck
that rides nicely on the road. See no
splashy helicopter entrance necessary.

200512 - New, 2020, Chevrolet Silverado, 1500, Standard Cab, Test Drive, Review, For Sale -
McCluskey Chevrolet:
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado is here and can
be customized to be your perfect truck.
Especially when compared to the 2020 GMC Sierra.
To help make reversing safer, the Silverado
optional cross-path warning system uses wide-angle
radar in the rear bumper to alert the driver
to vehicles approaching from the side, helping
the driver avoid collisions.
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado stops almost
5 feet shorter than the GMC Sierra, in the
60 to 0 Brakes and Stopping tests applied
by Motor Trend Magazine.
To make loading and unloading groceries and
other cargo easier, the Chevrolet Silverado
LTZ packages have standard power cargo doors
which open and close automatically by pressing
a button.
These two trucks are highly comparable, but
the one thing that really takes the spotlight,
is payload.
The Silverado out does its competition, with
most standard bed sizes, by hundreds of pounds
of towing and payload capabilities.
Your customizable Silverado will be ready
to hit the road once you buy it, we will cover
it with our free lifetime mechanical warranty.
Come on down and take it on a free 48 hour
test drive.
