The 2020 Sierra HD is much better looking,  IMHO

Agreed! But at least this media event gets us a lot of the specifications for the GMC!

You guys want a reason why the DEF tank should have stayed where it was?

 

Gas fuel tank capacity (all cabs/wheelbase):  36 gallons.

 

Diesel fuel tank capacity:

RCLB:  28 gallons.

DCSB:  29.4 gallons.

DCLB:  36 gallons.

CCSB/CCLB:  36 gallons.

 

Double Standard box and RCLB lose fuel tank capacity on diesel. 

 

Also...3.73 gears on gas ONLY.  I'd like to know (other than fuel economy) why the 4.10 was dropped, unless they plan to add the 10L90 next year.  I get that there is more power, and I do see that the tow ratings are the same/more than a 4.10 with the 6.0, but still...

 

Duramax/A10 Allison gets 3.42 gears now too. 

 

And FINALLY...larger tires on the 18" and 20" wheels.  LT275/70/18 (same as Ford) on the 18", and LT275/65/20 on the 20".

Another video with LOTS of detail about the 6.6L gas,  6.6L diesel, and some general information:

The white truck in this video looks like a Storm Trooper LOL

The wheels look like those of the Tundra or Tacoma.

Hood scoop on the gasser is cosmetic only. 

 

Finally some pics without cab clearance lights.

[gearheadesw]

Fake hood scoop, thought that was Toyota Tacoma territory...

So a guy has to go all the way up to a high country trim level just to get a bowtie on the front grille? Really GM??

higher towing rates great now just make it so anyone who buys it can tow that much with out having to go to tractor trailer school to do so and the expensive inspections on gvws over 10K lbs .

does anyone know what the gvw will be on the trucks ?

Max gcwr is listed as 43,500 for3500  reg cab, diesel, drw

 

All srw's are under 30,000 gcwr.

All 2500's are under 28,000

All gassers are under 24,000

Gassers have higher payload ratings than diesel. 

 

From the link:

 The 2020 Silverado HD also includes a VIN-specific Trailering Information Label, something no competitors has, that clearly lists the truck’s specific trailering metrics including curb weight, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), gross combined weight rating (GCWR), max payload, max tongue weight, gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and fifth wheel and gooseneck ratings.

The one thing i like it looks like the truck sits level now instead of being jacked up in the rear.

New video from Mr. Truck. Talks about a few interesting things like

 

- 6.6L torque is improved 20% across the entire RPM range, not just peak

- Torque peak has lowered to around 4000 RPM

- E85 is NOT available on the new 6.6L

- The 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package is mounted 3" behind the rear axle instead of directly over or in front of the rear axle
