2014 Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne review and pictures
Chevrolet, very often referred to as Chevy, is a brand of vehicles manufactured by General Motors. It was first founded by Louis Chevrolet and ousted General Motors founder William C. Durant on November 3, 1911 under the name Chevrolet Motor Car Company. It was bought by General Motors in 1918. Chevrolet-branded vehicles are sold in most auto markets worldwide, with plenty of success. The Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne concept is the last vehicle placed in the pickup field and it will be officially introduced at SEMA.
The new Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne is based on the regular Silverado and features carbon fiber bumpers, tailgate and cargo box which make the pickup 200 lbs (91 kg) light. The weight loss is quite significant. The vehicle is equipped with a rear stabilizer bar, carbon ceramic brakes from Brembo, Borla exhaust system and a suspension kit that brings the car closer to the ground. Although its main target is to be a great utility vehicle, this doesn’t mean it can’t have many options. Stepping inside, we can see some Recaro sports seats and a steering wheel borrowed from the Camaro ZL1. The vehicle is also equipped with a lane departure warning system as well as front and rear park assist with rear-vision camera, so safety is not something that should concern the future driver too much.
The new Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne concept is powered by V8 6.2-liter which produces 420 bhp (313 kW) and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque. This makes it 65 bhp (48 kW) and 77 lb-ft (104 Nm) more powerful than the previous engine that existed on the Silverado models. Power is transferred to the wheels via a Silverado's production six-speed automatic gearbox equipped with hill descent control and hill start assist. And speaking about wheels you should know that the car rides on a set of 19-inch Camaro Z/28 alloys wrapped in high-performance tires. When the concept becomes mass production it will surely be very successful.
