Silverado "High Desert Edition" announced

[CRApex]

At the Detroit Autorama today, Chevrolet Performance had a crew cab z71 "rally edition" with 4.3! I asked about the High Desert being offered with no 6.2, the reps looked at me like I was from Kentucky...

That's because you can get it with a 6.2..I did a build online and was able to select it as an option.

Yeah, I see that has changed from last night. Last night it went something like this when attempting to add 6.2L:

But only available on short bed (which I expected). Too bad they didn't make it available on the standard bed.

 

I actually hate the box/sport bar but would like to order a High Desert to get the Magnetic Ride Control. Oh well -- guess I'll wait for the next gen truck!

I think that the only thing that I don't like about the Raptor is there's no choice of a V8.

 

That's the only reason I haven't already gone to a Raptor. But apparently that's being fixed for the 2018s with a 5.0 Ecoboost. As soon as those come out, I plan to trade off this clunky POS for one.

Looks like they are now. I would like to see a rear air shock option to help keep the rear level while towing.

Agreed! I find it hard to believe Gm never migrated the load leveling off the Tahoe/Burbs/Yukon to the 1500 trucks. It worked awesome when towing my boat!

Is it even offered anymore on those??
