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.

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.

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.

The Story of the Chevrolet D20 with Rare Versions That Are Unknown to Most Brazilians

The Chevrolet D20 Went Through Several Aesthetic Changes Over The Years

The 4×4 Version Of The D20, Launched In 1989, Brought Four-Wheel Drive

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

Watch created at USP is used by astronauts of Artemis II and brings Brazilian technology into NASA’s largest mission.

US$ 3.5 billion, a port capable of receiving the largest ships in the world, and a direct route to Shanghai place Chancay at the center of a logistics revolution that could cut up to two weeks off trade between South America and Asia, repositioning Peru as a new strategic hub of the Pacific.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Omoda & Jaecoo revolutionizes the electrified segment with the launch of a plug-in hybrid SUV priced below R$ 200,000 and a range of 1,200 km.

Xiaomi (sim, a mobile phone) received 200,000 orders in 3 minutes for its electric SUV that travels 835 km on a single charge and costs less than a Tesla…

It costs around R$ 40,000, has a reliable Fire engine, and has been a sales success since its launch; see if it’s worth buying a used Fiat Punto in 2026.
