2020 Highlights - Fullsize Diesel Pickups
• Ram's EcoDiesel obtains an extra 20 horsepower and 60 lb-ft for 2020, bringing peak engine power to 260 horsepower and torque to 480 lb-ft. Additionally, the diesel equipped Ram 1500 earns higher fuel economy ratings, with appropriate two wheel drive models reaching 32 mpg on the highway.
• GM's "mini Duramax" debuts with best-in-class fuel economy ratings of up to 33 mpg for properly equipped two wheel drive and 29 mpg for properly equipped four wheel drive Silverado/Sierra 1500 models. The 3.0L Duramax is the only engine in its class with an inline cylinder arrangement.
• The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500HD pickups receive a major facelift, improved payload and towing capacity, and a new GM designed, Allison certified 10 speed automatic transmission. The 6.6L Duramax L5P returns, providing 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque on tap.
• Ford's Super Duty, which comprises F-250, F-350, and F-450 models, returns with an upgraded powertrain that includes a widely upgraded 6.7L Power Stroke diesel and new TorqShift 10 speed automatic transmission. The revised Power Stroke diesel provides up to 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque as the result of numerous revisions, including an updated VGT, steel piston design, and new high pressure injection system.

[1] Class 2 refers specifically to a class 2B pickup truck with a GVWR between 8,501 and 10,000 lbs, as defined by the NHTSA. Often expressed as a 3/4 ton pickup. The Ford F-250 and Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 2500HD are available with optional payload packages that exceed the 10,000 GVWR limit; these offerings do not qualify to compete in this class despite arguably being 3/4 ton models.
[2] Class 3 refers specifically to a class 3 pickup truck with a GVWR between 10,001 and 14,000 lbs, as defined by the NHTSA. Often expressed as a 1 ton pickup. This class has been split into single rear wheel (SRW) and dual rear wheel (DRW) sub-classes due to the large difference in payload capacity and tow ratings between a SRW and DRW vehicle.
