2020 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Trim Levels

The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is undoubtably versatile. This full-size pickup has long been one of America’s favorite trucks for a good reason. Buyers at dealerships like the Pocatello Chevrolet dealer can get the Silverado 1500 configured as a bare-bones work truck, a powerful towing and hauling machine, a capable off-road vehicle or a comfortable daily driver. With so many different configuration combinations, there’s a Silverado 1500 for every need.

The 2020 model year brings a few changes to the Silverado 1500, including more engine choices, more space in the cabin and more standard features. Customers at the Chevrolet dealer serving Pocatello appreciate the new Vertical Trailering Mirrors, which help with towing chores. The 2020 Silverado has a maximum towing capacity of 13,400 pounds, making it the leader in its segment. Perhaps the most notable change for 2020 is a new available diesel engine.
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered in eight trim levels: Work Truck (WT), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ and High Country. There are three cab styles and three bed sizes. We’ll look at the Silverado 1500 trim levels and explain the different features of each one.
