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.

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

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

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 .
