The new 2020 Chevy Silverado HD will be presented in Detroit. However, its twin, the 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 will debut at some other event. But, we can have some clues what to expect from the premiere of Chevrolet’s vehicle. However, for the complete image, we will have to wait for the second half of 2019.
