The 2020 Chevy Silverado’s LT Trim is Loaded with Value

When looking at new vehicles for sale, there are so many options it can, at times, seem overwhelming. And while it is hard enough to decide on a vehicle, it can also be difficult to decide on a trim or model once you narrow down your search. For instance, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500, with its dozens of different configurations, literally offers a truck for everyone. With the 2020 Chevy Silverado, no matter what your needs are, you can find a truck designed specifically for you. There are just lots of options to wade through, so we thought we would take a look at one of the more popular trim levels for the Silverado, and see what makes it such a good configuration for most people.

The LT trim is one of the most popular trim levels, and for good reason. The first thing you might notice is the starting price is very reasonable. At $38,795, you get just about everything you could possibly need and a little more, making this trim loaded with value. There are also lots of available features, such as three engines to choose from and all of the latest technology you could ask for.

There is a reason why the LT is such a popular trim – the combination of affordability and convenience makes it a hard trim level to ignore. Imagine finding a reasonably priced truck that has just about everything you need. That is essentially what the LT trim is. So let us see what exactly you will find standard in this Silverado 1500 model and what other options are available when you move up to the Luxury Touring trim.

What is the Best Engine?

With three engine options, you know you will be able to find the perfect engine for your lifestyle and needs. The standard engine is a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-4 that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. As the standard engine, this is a great option, and most people will not need more muscle than this engine provides.

You can see the value in the LT trim already building with this engine. With 310 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque, you will have plenty of power at your disposal. This engine is rated to tow 7,000 lb, so you will be able to hook up a trailer and tow with confidence as well. You will also be pleasantly surprised by how fuel-efficient this engine is. The 2.7-liter engine has a fuel efficiency rating of 21 mpg combined, so you will not be sacrificing fuel economy for the added power that comes with this engine.

However, if you need more power, there are other options for you. The Silverado has a big V8 if you are looking to tow and haul heavier loads regularly. It is a 5.3-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine boasts 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Chevy’s fuel management system also returns great fuel efficiency for such a big engine, getting 19 mpg combined.

Your towing capacity to 11,600 lb with this available engine as well. This makes it a great option with the raw power you need to get the job done. And with the added bonus of good fuel efficiency, you can even commute to work with this engine when you are not using it for your weekend projects.

Finally, Chevy is offering a diesel option for the first time on the 2020 model year Silverado 1500. This is an exciting choice, and it is great to see a diesel option for the Silverado 1500. The 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-6 comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and provides 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of muscle, not only will you have excellent towing capability of up to 9,300 lb, but you will have more control for your off-road adventures. And you will find the fuel economy just as impressive at 27 mpg combined.

Interior and Technology

The LT trim for the Silverado 1500 includes lots of on-board tech and convenience features to ensure that your commute is more comfortable than ever before. So let us take a look at what comes standard with this trim level. We will start with one of the more surprising options to find standard at this trim. An 8-inch touchscreen is standard at this level if you can believe it.

You will also find even more standard tech, such as the instrument cluster with its 4.2-inch color driver information center. The LT trim also includes 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, which allows you to use the internet wherever you go. It is also compatible with OnStar and Chevrolet Connected Services. With so much on-board tech, you will be able to stay connected with everyone everywhere you go.

Other standard equipment includes a tailgate with EZ lift and lower assist, LED headlamps, and a 40/20/40 split-bench front seat with a covered armrest storage bin. You can see how much value Chevy has packed into the Silverado’s LT trim and why it is such a popular choice. It is capable of being an incredibly competent daily driver, is built for the family, and can be just as capable off-road and on the job site.

At the LT trim level, you also have many more options to choose from to customize your 2020 Chevy Silverado. This level can be equipped with heated front seats, for instance. So you also have the opportunity to turn your work truck into a luxury family hauler. Dual-zone automatic climate control is another option to consider, as is the high-definition backup camera.

What About the All-Star Edition?

The LT trim also brings the chance to upgrade to the All-Star Edition package, which adds even more convenience and comfort to your ride. With this package, you will find features like keyless open and start as well as remote start, while passengers in the second row will also find two charge-only USB ports, so everyone can keep their devices charged. LED cargo bed lighting is also included in this package, so you will be able to find things in the bed even when it is dark, and there is also a power lock and release tailgate with lift assist included. These features are normally reserved for the upper trim levels, so having these luxury amenities available further increases the value of choosing the LT trim.
