CarGurus Analysis: 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
overall

Summary
With 831 currently listed for sale near Wichita, KS and an average price of $31,240.00, 49.2% of 2020 Chevrolet Silverados for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.48 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.
86.9% of 2020 Silverado 1500 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 stands out as a full-size pickup built for work, play, and everyday use. It follows its 2019 redesign with several updates, including a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline 6-cylinder engine, greater availability of popular powertrains across trim levels, a new bed-view camera, and a camera-based adaptive cruise control system. Those changes make it more appealing to buyers who want a truck with broad capability and a wider range of choices.
It also has some clear strengths that help define its appeal. The Silverado offers multiple powertrain options and is described as comfortable, while owners praise its excellent fuel economy, smooth performance, and spacious interior. At the same time, it is not without drawbacks: advanced safety features are not standard, and it is criticized for poor value for money. Some owners also note that certain features are missing for the price, including a bed camera and electric seats, and the rear camera has been criticized for poor performance in low light conditions.

I purchased the 3.0 liter diesel for the torque and fuel economy. Neither one disappoints. The $50k purchase price was steep but was the best value when compared with equally trimmed competitors. I love this truck!

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $29,137 |
| Year-Round Low | $28,929.84 |
| Year-Round High | $31,343.32 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $31,340 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −7.03% |
Prices have softened 7.03% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 9,532 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for you to compare trims and conditions.
If you find a listing below $28,929.84, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good car?
Generally — the 4.48/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 7.17/10. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.
Owners consistently praise the Silverado for its excellent fuel economy, smooth performance, and spacious interior. The truck also stands out for its versatility, with multiple engine choices that let you tailor it to your needs.
The trade-offs are familiar: some features feel sparse for the price, and the interior design comes across as dated and less refined than rivals. That matters most if you want a truck that feels as polished inside as it is capable on the road.
For you, the Silverado makes the most sense if you want a full-size pickup that emphasizes capability, comfort, and configuration flexibility over cabin sophistication. With 31.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.
Is the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.48/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise for smooth performance and the kind of capability you can count on. That same long-term confidence is reinforced by the Silverado’s strong utility and broad powertrain range.
Chevrolet also gives you 10 years of free remote diagnostics and maintenance prompts, which can help you stay ahead of routine ownership needs.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about whether the truck has been maintained well and equipped with the features you expect.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
At 74.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing, off-roading, or heavy work. Pay close attention to body condition, cabin wear, and whether the equipment level matches the asking price.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The cabin design and materials can feel dated and less refined, and some versions lack features that you might expect at the price point.
- Powertrain: You get multiple engine choices, including a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with up to 27 mpg on the highway, plus broader availability of the turbocharged 2.7-liter 4-cylinder, 6.2-liter V8, and 10-speed automatic.
- Safety package: Forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and camera-based adaptive cruise control are limited to LTZ and High Country; blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning can be added to LT and RST.
- Infotainment: You get a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Chevrolet Connected Access, and a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot; upgrades include navigation, wireless device charging, and a Bose premium sound system.
- Fuel efficiency: The diesel engine returns up to 27 mpg on the highway, and the test truck averaged 16.8 mpg in combined driving.
Which 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trim should I buy?
The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered in 6 trim levels: WT (Work Truck), Custom, LT, RST, LTZ, and High Country.
Here's the short version:
- Base trim: WT is the most stripped-down path, and the safety content makes clear that advanced driver-assistance features are not standard at this level.
- Sweet-spot trim: LT is the best value-oriented choice if you want broader equipment availability without jumping all the way to the luxury end.
- Premium/top trim: LTZ and High Country are the trims that unlock the most important safety tech, including forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and camera-based adaptive cruise control.
- Off-road trim: Trail Boss is the one to consider if you want off-road hardware, but its all-terrain tires and steering response make it less ideal for typical daily driving.
The safety-package note is simple: if advanced driver assistance matters to you, you need to shop LTZ or High Country.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop, but the best listings still deserve quick action.
- Deal availability: 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,532 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.03% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 74.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $28,929.84, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's resale value?
The current average of $29,137 sits slightly below last year's $31,340.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. If you plan to sell later, the softer current pricing means your resale upside may be more limited than in a stronger market.
Even so, the Silverado’s broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction should help it stay in demand. Trucks with a reputation for capability and happy owners tend to hold buyer interest better over time.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.48/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 safe?
The Silverado earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings for driver and front passenger protection in a head-on collision. In IIHS testing, it earned a Marginal rating for front passenger protection in a small overlap frontal-impact collision on the right side, a Good rating for the driver on the left side, and Poor headlights.
It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.
Standard safety equipment includes a rear-seat reminder system and Teen Driver driving report card technology. Chevrolet’s more advanced driver-assistance systems are not widely standard, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking is reserved for LTZ and High Country. Lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and camera-based adaptive cruise control are also limited to those trims, while blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning can be added to LT and RST.
The main safety takeaway is that you should not assume a higher-priced Silverado automatically includes the driver aids you want; you need to verify the exact trim and equipment list carefully.
Should I buy a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 74.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.03% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.48/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
- It adds a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel, broader powertrain availability, and a camera-based adaptive cruise control system.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $26,830, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $29,137 average.
- It brings a redesigned cabin with broad engine choice and strong towing capability.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $31,795, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $29,137 average.
- It emphasizes versatility and the available Duramax turbodiesel for strong towing and hauling efficiency.
The bottom line: You should start with the 2020 if you want the best balance of price, inventory, and updated powertrain choices. If your priority is spending less, the 2019 is the better value path; if you want to pay more for a slightly newer alternative, the 2021 is worth a look.
