Most Capable, Most Advanced Silverado HD Ever To Debut In February 2019


2020 Silverado HD is the third all-new Silverado in 18 months


DETROIT — When the 2020 Silverado HD debuts in February 2019 it will be the most capable and most advanced Silverado HD ever. It will also be the third all-new Silverado model from Chevrolet in just 18 months — each designed for different customers.
“We know the needs and priorities of heavy-duty customers are different than those of either light-duty or medium-duty customers,” said Jaclyn McQuaid, chief engineer, Silverado HD. “As such, we built a heavy-duty truck tailor-made for them that has more differentiation than ever before from light-duty models, offers advanced towing technologies to improve towing confidence and includes new features such as the integrated Bedstep, which makes it easier to access the bed while pulling a fifth-wheel trailer.”
Built at the Flint Assembly plant in Flint, Mich., the new Silverado HD’s design has a bold, sculpted form that follows its enhanced heavy-duty function, differentiating it from the light-duty Silverado. In fact, the 2020 Silverado HD exterior shares only the roof with its Silverado 1500 stablemate — every other piece of sheet metal is exclusive to Silverado HD.
“We set out to make a statement with the 2020 Silverado HD and wanted to visually capture the power and capability of the truck,” said Brian Izard, lead exterior designer for Silverado HD. “The result is a truck that looks like a piece of heavy machinery with modern, chiseled finishes and customer-focused details.”
The interior benefits from similar architectural changes made to the all-new Silverado 1500, including an additional 3 inches of legroom on crew cab models and a taller, more comfortable seating position.
Under the 2020 Silverado HD’s hood is a choice of two new powertrains: an all-new gasoline engine with direct injection mated to a six-speed transmission, or the Duramax Turbo-Diesel V-8, which delivers 910 lb-ft of torque through an all-new, Allison 10-speed transmission.
The 2020 Silverado HD also will offer all-new customer-focused trailering technology, significant increases in towing and payload capabilities and a host of technologies and features designed specifically for heavy-duty truck customers.
GM’s focus on understanding truck customers has helped build the most successful truck franchise in the industry over the last four years. Since introducing the industry’s first three-truck strategy with midsize, full-size light-duty and full-size heavy-duty trucks in 2014, GM has been the best-selling truck manufacturer for four consecutive years. The company has sold more than 600,000 pickups than the closest manufacturer from 2014 through the first three quarters of 2018.
That momentum is expected to continue with the launches of the new Colorado ZR2 Bison, all-new Silverado 1500, the all-new Silverado Medium-Duty trucks and now the all-new Silverado HD models.
The 2020 Silverado HD goes on sale in mid-2019, stay tuned for more details about the all-new 2020 Silverado HD.

Section 179 Tax Deduction Deadline Is Near! Take Maximum Advantage! Save Money!


Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 179), allows a taxpayer to elect to deduct the cost of certain types of property on their income taxes as an expense, rather than requiring the cost of the property to be capitalized and depreciated. This property is generally limited to tangible, depreciable, personal property which is acquired by purchase for use in the active conduct of a trade or business.

No need to spread the expense out, and you can take maximum advantage of this tax code, but time is running out. The end of this year is near. Call us at Paradise Fleet and let us help you get the equipment you need and help you save money by taking advantage of this great Section 179 deduction.

Work Truck Wednesday 12-5-18: Let's Raise The Roof!


Rich McGrath with Paradise Fleet shows off a Chevrolet 2500HD Double Cab with a powerful 6.0 Gas V-8 engine with a 6-speed transmission with many interior and exterior optional features. This unit has a Harbor 8' Service Body with Stainless Steel open top lids, a material rack, and a Raised Cargo Bed Enclosure. Raising the lockable sliding 3-piece roof on this Cargo Bed Enclosure really expands the cargo area and keeps things out of the weather and out of sight. Harbor's Cargo Bed Enclosure slides on Teflon pads making it trouble free and more easily controlled in sliding and also in having it stay put where you want it.

Paradise Fleet typically has several of this model and configuration in stock ready to go out and go to work. You can see one example in our inventory here. Or, better yet, give us a call with your work truck needs at 951-252-2980.
