Silverado 2500HD Exterior

It’s a very handsome design. This high-country model is the one that has a more traditional design since it uses the regular Chevy bowtie grille with thick chrome bars, Bronze accents between them, and the high-country branding under the right headlight. Surprisingly though the LTZ and every other trim below it now have the non-traditional grille which has Chevrolet spelled out across it.

As far as the headlights, both of the top two trends pretty much have the same design. With two separate housings and stacked LED headlights in the bottom and then finally along the bottom, both have LED fog lights housed inside either a chrome bumper on the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD LTZ, even a body-colored one on the hike up. Moving on to the side right now, only 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Crew Cab is being offered with your choice between the normal and the long lives and in the back.

It adopts the same design 1500 debuted last year. With Chevrolet written out across the back and the new wiggly LED taillights So overall, while the new heavy-duty is a pretty dramatic departure from the alcohol and model in person. It has a great mixture of traditional and modern cues. Now turning to the wheel’s heavy-duty trucks, do have to have smaller ones for capability purposes. Which is why this 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD High Country comes standard with 20-inch polished out voice instead of 22s, like on 1500.
