Steering Wheel Shakes at Highway Speed
The steering wheel vibrates or shakes primarily when driving at highway speeds, indicating a likely wheel or tire imbalance issue. This is common in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and usually does not pose an immediate safety risk but should be addressed to prevent uneven tire wear and suspension damage.

Possible Causes
Wheel imbalance: Loss of balance weights or uneven tire wear causes vibration at higher speeds.
