The Chevrolet D-20 is a series of pickup trucks manufactured by Chevrolet in Brazil and Argentina as a complement for the 10 Series. Based on the contemporary American C/K series, the interior was the same but it had a different exterior design which incorporated the Opala headlights and a similar grille. Whilst all models are commonly referred to as D-20, the gasoline model was marketed as the C-20, and an otherwise mechanically identical ethanol-fueled version as the A-20.[1][2][3][4]

Introduced in May 1985, it was only available in a regular cab pickup configuration, engine options consisted of a 4.1L gasoline or ethanol engine (C-20 or A-20, respectively) or a 3.9L Perkins diesel (D-20). There were two trim levels: base and Custom, custom being the most luxurious model. In 1986 a crew cab pickup was introduced. In 1989 a 4x4 model was introduced. In 1991, the Perkins diesel engine was replaced with the Maxion S4 diesel making 66 kW (88 hp) and the turbocharged Maxion S4T making 92 kW (123 hp), also power windows, locks and mirrors and an alarm were introduced.
