The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD introduces a brand-new fourth generation for the heavy-duty nameplate, completely overhauling the pickup as the strongest, most capable Chevrolet Silverado HD ever offered. Now, the new 2020 model year is available in the two-door, regular cab body configuration.
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD is offered in five individual trim levels for 2500HD models, including Work Truck (WT), Custom, LT, LTZ, and the range-topping High Country. Meanwhile, the 3500HD is offered in just four trim levels, including WT, LT, LTZ, and High Country.
Folks interested in speccing theirs with the two-door regular cab will find it on the WT and LT trims. The regular cab body combos with an extended Long Bed in back.
Further body configurations include:
- Double Cab / Standard Bed
- Double Cab / Long Bed
- Crew Cab / Standard Bed
- Crew Cab / Long Bed
Two powertrain options are on offer, including the standard naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T, which produces 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, and the turbodiesel 6.6L V8 L5P Duramax, which produces 445 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 910 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm.
The gas unit mates to the six-speed automatic MYD transmission, while the diesel mates to the GM 10-speed “Allison” automatic. Both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available.
Properly configured, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD posts a maximum towing capability of 35,500 pounds, a massive 52-percent increase compared the previous generation.
Pricing starts at $36,195 (including destination) for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD WT with the gas-powered 6.6L V8 and Regular Cab / Long Bed configuration.
In addition to larger exterior dimensions, redesigned styling, and more capability, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD also comes with a plethora of cabin tech, including up to 15 unique camera views to keep tabs on the trailer and the area around the vehicle.

OK then. It’s about time. GM just might be listening to consumers again. Finally, a reg cab again. Now maybe, just maybe, they will start selling the short wheel base, short box in the USA again too. We can only dream. Just sayin’
There’s not that much demand for the 1500 std.cab short bed truck. The only reason they’re building this is because this is what they base their 35,500 lb towing capacity.
Bob, GM makes the short box available in the Middle East and Mexico. Why not here? If they make it, it SHOULD made to sell here too. Even if the numbers were down for new sales, if they make to sell somewhere, they should sell it here too. Just sayin’
You need to send your question to contrary Mary Bara, you’re wasting time and internet asking your question here.
Bob, the only reason GM lists the Regular Cab 3500 dual rear wheel 2WD Diesel pickup combination is for the 35,500 LB max tow rating, and the highest payload rating. The rest of the powertrain and drive axle combinations of HD pickups and Cab Chassis with regular cabs will get customer orders.
A lot of this is due to EPA rules and regulations. Meeting fuel economy standards etc. for every truck like this they sell they probably have to sell 4-5 Colorado’s.
HD trucks, anything over 8550Lb GVWR, are not regulated by fuel economy standards (CAFE). HD vehicles are regulated by EPA standards for Green House Gas, as measured in grams of CO2 per mile. The allowable standard for a manufacturer is cumulative for the units sold, not at all like CAFE for light duty fleet. The total gCO2/mi allowable for HD’s considers the Work Factor of each vehicle sold, work factor being a formula which uses the Payload and GCWR of each sold unit. Higher work factors allow for more GHG so there is incentive to inflate payload and trailer capability by the manufacturer. Reg cab 3500 dually diesel sales are so low and of little significance on overall GHG compared to the remainder of HD fleet of pickups, cab chassis, and Vans. GM increased the standard GVWR values of most 2500 series pickups over 10,000Lb for the first time with 2020 models to help enable a higher allowance of GHG, but this has been a deal breaker with a number of commercial customers because going over 10,000Lb GVWR subjects commercial operators to a different set of federal and state commercial driving rules and fees. Being under 8550LB GVWR, Colorado sales do not influence the emission regulations of HD models. It may seem complex, but when you get into vehicles with 8 or more lugs on the wheels, it’s a different world.
They still build reg cab short box they just don’t make it available in USA. We’re not getting whole story as to why. There may not be huge demand but some of still want one. Make it available by some COPO order. They ship them to Middle East so what the neck is the problem with shipping to US?
RCSB with the High Country package or a GMC with the Denali Package. Either 6.2, 6.6 or the small Duramax, and the 10 speed. Count me in, I will order tomorrow morning.
Regular cab HD models are the subject of this article. A Regular cab short box 2500 or 3500 series would be useless, Bozo.
Pretty sure this configuration has been out for awhile now. I’ve seen em sitting on delaership lots for a few weeks now. Trust me, I tried to find some reg cab last gens…..sadly there aren’t any left.
The main reason for this truck is fleets (along with the tow ratings). However, based on its size, its damn near useless with a utility bed and ladder rack on it! Imagine trying to get a ladder off something that high! Or lift material into the bed!
2500/3500 series Regular Cab pickups have not been out for awhile. GM completely botched the production roll out on the 2020 HD pickup body styles. The strike didn’t help, but they completely missed snow plow season and pissed off a number of customers that were expecting to have trucks with the new 6.6l gas engines in time for winter. GM Regular cab HD pickups are the number one choice for commercial snow plowers because of payload capability, manueverability, and value. I have a number of clients that wanted upgraded gas engines from the previous 6.0l, or wanted out of Diesels due to cost and maintenance issues, before winter.
Now the2020 Cab Chassis model production is being delayed almost indefinitely, by covid19 and other issues, and the regular cab models of these are sought after by landscapers and contractors to install flat beds and dump bodies on. Construction and landscapers are still working around the country, and GM is going to completely miss this season too. Your statement that the main reason for these regular cab HD trucks is for fleets and for tow ratings is your own opinion. I doubt you even know what it takes to qualify for a GM Fleet Account Number. We can set you up with a bucket truck version to resolve your concerns about ladder placement, or even a trailer to put it in.
We already have a bucket truck thank you. An 02 F550 7.3 that still runs great! Not to mention, it’s damn near the same size as our ’19 1500 Silverado. The new GM trucks are too big in general!
And trust me, we are well aware of the lack of a chassis cab combo. Just had to replace an 06 F350 (a real POS). Ended up going with a 3500 Ram HD Cummins. Our first Ram. Fords are generally junk, and GM didn’t have an offering, not to mention the visibility is much better in the RAM.
Here is another suggestion. And I hope Mary Barra is listening. The 2019 and 2020 SIlverado 1500 Regular Cab Long Box models have chrome bumpers as an option and aluminum wheels as an option, which is great. Theses trucks are only available, however, with the cheap black “Work Truck” grille which looks like total crap. It makes these trucks look like cheap junk. Why not have an option for the Chrome LT Grille on the Regular Cab Long Box model truck? It would make them look 1000 times better than they do now. GM might even sell more of them. If a Chrome Grille Option is not possible then GM might as well not waste its time with the Chrome Bumpers option and the Aluminum Wheel option on this model truck either.
No problem getting the LT Grille instead of work truck grille, just order a truck with LT trim. Although this article is about HD model regular cabs, the 1500 series work trucks have had chrome bumpers as either standard or optional for the last several generations because some owners were complaining about stone chips causing rust on the black painted bumpers.
Are there really that many more reg cab HDs sold versus 1500 reg cab short boxes? Seems like numbers would be similar. Any sales figures for comparison?
Not sure on 2020 yet, but on previous generations 20% of all HD models sold were regular cab in pickup, box delete, or cab chassis versions. Some years thats about 40-50,000 units. Didn’t follow previous generation 1500 series short boxes so couldn’t tell you volume there, Not sure why the comparison because light duty and heavy duty box construction, frames, and chassis components are not compatibile
