I drove a 2020 Silverado D/A 3500HD today
In short.... I LIKE. They look really good in person. I do wish the High Country had the LTZ chrome bumper. The 10 speed tranny is seamless, and the Dmax power is there as usual. Lots of G whiz...

Ok I got my first look at a Chevy 2500 truck and the front end is as hideous as the pictures. Also the bed step is a poor design that will add very little value. The interior looked ok with black leather seats.
Something tells me Chevy is already planning on fast forwarding the refresh sooner rather than later. The front end, bed step and interior will receive the main focus on the refresh.
Bottom line there's nothing with these trucks that make me want to part ways with my '12 truck.
Those side steps on the 2020's have value if you work out of one. Take a look at any truck that someone works out of and look at the side of the bed. You will notice scratches from coat zippers and people dragging things across the tops of the bed rails that inevitabily slide down the outside. Why? Because they cant reach over the bed to the bottom of the deck to grab things, and they dont want to crawl in the bed to from the back to get it. The step on the side is a great feature, I am not crazy about the look of it. However there is no doubt it serves a practical purpose. At the end of the day for me, that is what matters. Just as a general unscientific observation, the internet objection about the looks has softened now that they are on lots and being seen in real life. I am not saying they that it couldnt have looked better, but its not the crisis that many would make it out to be (most of those were not going to buy a GM anyway). I do think the interior will get upgraded in the HD before to long as the 1500 upgrade is already enroute.
