2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is just one year removed from its 2019 redesign, but that doesn’t mean the new 1500 comes into the new decade unchanged. Far from it, the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 enters the 20’s with a brand-new diesel engine option, trailering camera system, and available adaptive cruise control. The adaptive cruise control may be arriving a little bit late to the large pickup game, but the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has enough to make for a serious contender against class leaders like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150.
The following is a table that details the different engine options on the Silverado 1500. These five engine options are part of what keeps the Silverado relevant, and more importantly, power its impressive maximum towing capacity.

Silverado 1500 Trailering Camera System
With 15 cameras, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has more camera views than any truck in its class. The truck can compile the camera feeds for a comprehensive overhead view while parking. A back-facing camera and the ability to put a camera on the back of a trailer ensures that even if your vision is blocked, you can still see what’s happening behind you. A low front-facing camera gives you control over how close your front bumper gets to obstacles when you can’t see over the hood.
The infotainment screen on the dashboard lets you control what view you have by the simple power of touch. With the trailering camera system, the Silverado 1500 makes sure you have an eye on everything.
