Love it and seems reasonably priced

7200 lbs!

Maybe a 4 door "towing package" version of this would be an option for guys spending 70 to 80K on a new Silverado Duramax

Hard to believe you can buy a 800 hp new pickup for 47K

Wow that’ll roast some tires!

Pretty cool truck, love the hounds-tooth interior, but I'd rather have an extended cab even if it was just with jump seats in the back.

----No way a half ton Silverado weighs that much,,,NO WAY! I doubt it weighs 5000lbs. Also agree with Charley about the price. Really neat ride though.....Bill S

For scary comparisons Shelby super snake had 800 horsepower in a 2,200 pound chassis. Can you imagine how scary that was. 800 horsepower in a 5,000 pound truck... a walk in the park

Agree
 

Especially with an aluminum hood, doors, and tailgate.

Maybe they upgraded the rear from the 8.6" diff and have something like a 9.5, 10.5 or 11.5 out of the heavier trucks. That would add some weight, but deliver much better reliability.

That’s a lot of truck for the $$$$$! I too love the upgraded seats!

No way are you going to buy it in the 40's. I'm guessing alot of bad info in that article.

7200 lbs? Seems people often confuse the GVWR with the actual vehicle weight.
Neat truck. Though, nothing appeals to me more than the SRT/10 with a manual.

I think that truck will be 65,000-70,000 if only 25 are to be made

The silverado is all of 5500-5700 lbs. The Ford F150 Shelby is 500+ lbs lighter and almost same hp. And its been out for years.

Or you can buy a new F150 5.0 shortbed 2wd 3.55 geared and throw a tune on it and run 12.7's with out even changing the tires and only spending half what the Chevy costs and you will have enough to toss on a blower and smoke the Chebby .

This is my buddys 2018 F150 and its a 12.7 legit with just a tune. Stock puny tires even .

LOL, I'd still rather have the Chevy with an LS.

The silverado is $46,000 over the price of the truck. + another $2500 of the seats. so its $48,500 + $37,000 for a base truck. Total is about $85,500 if you wanna play

Or you can buy a new 650 hp Lightning F150 for $50k. Just giving you an alternative. No doubt the Silverado is way cool https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...150-lightning/

There's no way. Shipping weight on that truck with a 5.3L V8 is only 4800 pounds. They're not adding 2400 pounds of weight.

Of course. 5500-5700 is more like it

Its $85,500. Its $45000 just for the package

and.. here is another 725 hp pick up to throw in the mix. Best part is full factory warranty and $38k out the door

I would really like to buy a new Chevy or GMC truck. I looked at the 100th anniversary chevies last week, I really like the emblems as well as the rest of the truck. I just bought a new work van so it's not something I can justify but they sure are nice. Maybe I could add a procharger to my 05 Hemi Sport truck to ease my pain & suffering....

Just wondering what became of the 800HP 2018 Yenko Silverados SVE announced earlier this year?
25 were announced available, have any been sold/built/delivered?
:hmmm:
