Chevy is elbowing its way into the off-road market at various levels — such as the Colorado ZR2 and Silverado Trailboss. With the Detroit automaker set to introduce the 2020 Chevy Silverado HD sometime late next year, new spy photos over at TFLTruck.com shows a camouflaged version heavy-duty pickup truck with a few interesting bits that could make this a Silverado HD Trailboss model with a new Duramax diesel engine under the hood.
The heavy-duty Silverado is no secret. There are countless spy photos of the truck along with one lone teaser the automaker released back in April. Since then, things have been quiet. Chevy released a teaser darn near 18 months ahead of the truck’s is scheduled on-sale date. That allows for products to change, or, maybe, get a new additional trim, such as a Silverado HD Trailboss.
The photos show a Silverado HD pickup with what looks like a slightly raised suspension over other HD prototypes spied in the wild. TFLTruck.com reports there could be Rancho off-road shocks underneath. Right now, this is just speculation, but it would make a great addition to the Silverado HD lineup, giving the automaker a wide breadth of off-road capable pickups.
In addition to the raised suspension and suspiciously off-road ready shocks, the large exhaust hints at a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel engine under the hood. Another giveaway that this is an off-road capable pickup is the rear bumper, which TFLTruck.com points out is sculpted around the hitch. This could help give the truck greater ground clearance.
Slowly, we will see more and more of the prototypes as we get closer to the Silverado HD’s scheduled launch. This means more teasers, exposed prototypes, and a reveal at a splashy auto show. Until then, though, we will have to keep scrutinizing every spy photo we see for clues about the new heavy-duty pickup truck.

I see they moved the Chevy emblem off center .. so ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Designers are retarded emblem looks out of place ????
That could also just be a fake emblem to make people think its possibly a Ford, besides, it looks oddly round to be a Chevrolet badge. This is backed up by the image at the top of the page, released by GM, that shows the grill without the round badge above the large cross bar.
I would much rather see chevrolet improve on the dependability instead of redesigning. As an owner of a 2011 Equinox that has had nothing but problems since it was purchased I will not buy another Chevrolet product until they improve the quality. I also own a silverado but these will be the last one I ever purchase. The MIL light comes on so much it a wonder it hasn’t burned out.
I THANK THIS WOULD BE EXCITING IF YOU KNEW THAT IF THEY DID MAKE A TRAIL BOSS EDITION IT WOULD BE MORE THAN JUST A 2 IN LIFT ON A Z71
Please Chevrolet open wheel wells up for bigger tires with out suspension mods, straight axle already this is why ford sells so many trucks straight axle please, and relocation of the def reservoir not under hood it’s hard on older people’s.
The front look good ,I hope they upgrade the hp and torque ,,,
It sure is disappointing when all GM can do is change a little trim around, Alter the height a little with suspension changes, and offer a couple new colors. As I previously wrote years ago, I have not purchased a new GMC Truck since 2002. Then I was sold a defective unit that required a complete repaint job one week after purchase. Putnam GM in San Mateo CA spent 2 months on the paint job at GM’s expense. To date replaced the rear end, transmission, multiple issues with steering along with many other issues that started at GM’s expense until the warranties expired. All I could ask for once again, as I see the new 2020 platform being shown off is that GM offer a vehicle with outstanding Fuel efficiency. Great durability. Innovative design for better performance and most of all a Vehicle THAT IS GOING TO LAST! On average these GM Trucks are costing upwards of $72,000 now for a fully loaded 4X4 Crew Cab Denali. Yes there are more computer controls and new issues operating with DEF as well as more electronics with in the interiors on all the Diesel Models, but yet nothing that blows the doors off of other manufacturers. As well as No Durable Electric 4X4’s to date. In the SF Bay area ground was just broken for the first ever FUEL-CELL Ferry Boat. We taxpayers saved GM years ago, but still don’t have anything to show for it other than there flashy commercials that look good, but only until the day that you’ve begun to really experience your new GM Truck! Since 2002 I have driven many new GM Truck Models through my job. And this is the reason of why I feel the way I do!
From Orchard Supply in CA we just purchased an ALL original 1929 Model A wood and steel Flat bed Truck with rear duels, and it still runs Great!
