The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series is a true workhorse in the heavy hauling business. The pickup features powerful engines, multiple transmission options, and trim variants so everyone has something to look forward to this year. In addition to the standard variants, the automobile manufacturer has also launched special editions of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at a premium price.
These vehicles stand out from the rest of the competition in every possible way. Check them out.
LT Trail Boss Midnight edition
Chevrolet has definitely gone all out for the custom Midnight edition of its Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series. The pickup sports a beautiful dark exterior with everything black including the badging, bowtie emblems, assist steps, bumpers, and even the grills. The 18-inch aluminum wheels with a Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tire tread feature a stunning high-gloss back finish that compliments the dark cab and chassis brilliantly. One of the main highlights of this custom off-roader is the Z71 off-road package for the standard 2-inch factory installation, making it one smooth ride over bumpy terrain. High intensity LED lamps and a stunning black dual exhaust system completes the dark ensemble and justifies the midnight edition name. Under the hood, you will get a whopping 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine that churns out a massive 420 horsepower thrust.
Custom Rally Edition
If you are not looking to customize an off-roader, the Silverado 1500 Rally edition is a better option for urban street appeal. In fact, contrary to the all-black exterior and color scheme of the Midnight Boss, the Rally edition comes in red, white, and a silver finish. Further customization is done to the badging and the body grille to suit the color scheme of the pickup. If you still prefer the black exterior over lighter shades, Chevrolet can customize the Rally editions hood, tailgate stripes, assist steps, and exhaust tips. This edition also comes with bigger wheels sporting a 20-inch aluminum set designed to rip that asphalt. The engine is smaller and less powerful in comparison to the Midnight Boss. But the 2.7L Turbo comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission with a better fuel economy. Note that the Custom Rally Edition is not necessarily built for racing the dunes.
RST Rally Edition
The Custom Rally Edition is also available in the RST trim variant with a few modifications done to the exterior. It is a premium alternative to consider in place of the original Silverado. One of the key highlights of the RST trim is the powertrain, featuring multiple engine options. You can either opt for the standard 2.7L Turbo or install the more-powerful 5.3L and 6.2L V8s. The 2.7L and 5.3L both get an 8-speed automatic transmission while the 6.2L is a better upgrade with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. You can get a full black exterior or opt for the three colors that are a standard on the Rally edition. To support all that power and transmission, the RST gets even bigger 22-inch aluminum wheels.
Note that all special editions of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are premium automobiles and priced accordingly.
