The History Of The Chevrolet D20, A Pickup That Left Its Mark On The Brazilian Automotive Industry. Available In Single Or Double Cab Versions, And With Engines Ranging From Four To Six Cylinders, Gasoline, Alcohol, Or Diesel, The D20 Was A Success. Let’s Discover Its Aesthetic Evolutions, Its Rare Special Editions, And The Reasons That Led To The End Of Production Of The 4×4 Version.
The history of Chevrolet pickups in Brazil began in 1958 with the Chevrolet 3100, popularly known as Chevrolet Brasil. It had round headlights, wide fenders, and an impressive payload capacity of 733 kg. Under the hood, there was a 4.3L six-cylinder engine with 142 horsepower.
In 1985, Chevrolet launched the series 20, including the famous D20. Unlike the series 10, the series 20 offered more powerful engines and greater payload capacity. The D20 was equipped with diesel, alcohol, and gasoline engines, standing out with the robust 3.9L Perkins engine and, later, the 4.0L Maxion S4 engine.
The Chevrolet D20 Went Through Several Aesthetic Changes Over The Years
In 1986, the double cab version of this Chevrolet model was launched, offering more space and comfort. In 1988, the Custom S and Custom DeLuxe versions appeared, with power steering as standard and options like air conditioning and power windows.

The 4×4 Version Of The D20, Launched In 1989, Brought Four-Wheel Drive
However, it faced durability issues in the front drive, leading to the end of its production in 1990. Nevertheless, the D20 4×4 was a highly sought-after pickup for its robustness and off-road capability.
Despite all the improvements and innovations, Chevrolet discontinued the D20 in 1997, replacing it with the Chevrolet Silverado, which did not achieve the same sales success. The D20, with its rare versions and remarkable history, remains a legend among pickup enthusiasts in Brazil.
