Unlike the voting showdown of significant redesigns that begat the 2019 Ram 1500 half-ton pickup as victorious over its rival Chevrolet Silverado 1500 counterpart, the battle for 2020 honors involved redesigns of the larger heavy-duty class and the Silverado HDs versus the Ram 2500/3500 (not to mention the diesel-equipped Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 half-tons, returning Ford Ranger and all-new Jeep Gladiator). Both of the HD trucks were impressive, but the winner came down to one crucial element: context.
Our editors chose the Silverado 2500/3500 because “heavy-duty trucks are about work, and the Silverado HDs are massively capable, pleasantly easy to operate and chock-full of technology meant to help you get work done — especially towing.”
