Chevrolet’s interpretation of an ultimate outdoor adventure vehicle is beyond cool, and can be seen on the SEMA 2015 Show floor.
To highlight the 2016 Silverado’s personalization possibilities, the American car manufacturer teamed up with camo hunting gear company Realtree and Michael Waddell – the star of Outdoor Channel’s “The Bone Collector” – and came up with the Realtree Bone Collector Concept; this could very well be one of the most coolest names in automotive history
The prototype is based on the Silverado 1500 High Country crew cab with 4WD, and features a plethora of add-ons and mods, designed to make it the ultimate adventure truck, as Michael Waddell stated:
“This Silverado concept is the perfect outdoor lifestyle vehicle, offering the capability to take you deep into the woods and mountains, with the specialty gear to make the excursion more successful,” said Waddell. “The Realtree camo graphics really distinguish it, too, adding functional personalization.”
Yes, the Silverado bears a striking camo-motif, complemented by Realtree Bone Collector green graphics and the blackened-out body elements, but the coloring further extends to the tie-down rings and bungee cords in the bed (used to secure camping gear), and o the six-piston disc brake calipers, part of a concept upgrade package from Chevrolet Performance that also includes 16.1-inch-diameter (410mm) disc rotors.
The humongous brakes also indicate some serious grunt under the hood, more specifically a 420 hp, 6.2L V-8, which enables up to a 12,000-pound max trailering capacity. Combine this with larger, aggressive off-road tires, wrapped around Chevrolet Accessories 22-inch black aluminum wheels, and Chevrolet Accessories’ new off-road package (which includes front push bar, assist steps and sport bar, and features an LED off-road light bar to help illuminate the trail at night), and you’ve got yourself a very capable full-size toy.
