Design: What Truly Sets Them Apart
The first thing to be aware of when making this decision is the difference in classification. The 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a light-duty pickup truck while the Silverado 2500 falls in the next class up as a heavy-duty pickup.
Consequently, the Silverado 2500 is quite a bit larger in size with roughly 20 inches in length on the Silverado 1500’s 241.2-inch maximum length. The 2500 is also about five inches taller with a maximum height of 79.8 inches.
In terms of cabs, the Silverado 1500 and 2500 each give you three options: A Regular Cab, a Double Cab, and a Crew Cab. You’ll have more than 43 inches of legroom in every seat with this cab in either model.
Silverado 1500 vs 2500: Power & Capability
In their respective classes, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 are leaders in terms of capability. However, there’s quite a big difference between them due to their classifications.
The Silverado 1500 is ideal for smaller to mid-range construction and DIY projects. With its 13,400-pound towing capacity, this model can move anything from a flatbed trailer piled with fresh mulch for DIY landscaping to a large recreational boat.
As a heavy-duty model, the Silverado 2500 gives you a bit more muscle, making it ideal for bigger jobs, like hauling full-size hard-sided camping trailers and excavators for projects on the worksite. When properly equipped, this model can move up to 18,500 pounds.
