New V8, big towing, trick features and tech for 2020 Chevy Silverado HD

With pickup trucks seemingly taking over the personal-vehicle market, it's no surprise the Detroit Three automakers are devoting more attention than ever to the pickups-for-real-work side of the equation, too. In launching the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD line at a high-profile event at the trucks' newly-expanded assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, General Motors president Mark Reuss said, “At GM, we've been preparing for this changing market for years.”

So have Ford and FiatChrysler, too, though, and with all three powering into 2019 with all-new (FCA's 2019 Ram HD) or significantly updated (Ford 2020 Super Duty) 2500/3500 heavy-duty pickups, expect competitive fireworks.
