SILVERADO 2500HD CARHARTT EDITION

-

THE 2017 SILVERADO 2500HD CARHARTT concept vehicle is a truck built to tackle the toughest jobs while integratin­g the rugged aesthetics of hard-working lifestyles reflected in the resiliency and versatilit­y of the iconic work jackets.

Durability is expressed in the texture of the concept’s distinctiv­ely trimmed jet black interior, which features Carhartt’s signature duck brown garment material on the seats, armrests and door panel inserts, with triple-stitched seams just like the jackets. The Carhartt logo is laseretche­d on the headrests, while antique nickel-finish trim is used on the doors, center console and instrument panel. Carhartt’s tough fabric is also used for a custom concept tonneau cover.

A number of Chevrolet accessorie­s and concept parts enhance the truck’s appearance and functional­ity, including trailering mirrors with camera system, black Bow Tie emblems, all-weather floor liners, assist steps, perimeter bed lighting and a bed-mounted toolbox and swing-out tool chest. Additional concept and custom equipment includes a 20-inch LED light bar, electrical outlets in the bed, antique nickel accents on the grille, mirror caps and tow rings, and 20-inch aluminum wheels.

The Silverado 2500HD Carhartt concept features a unique, two-tone Carbon Flash exterior finish with a matte finish above the beltline and high-gloss black on the bottom half.

The all-new, next-generation Duramax 6.6L V-8 turbo-diesel engine offered in the ’17 Silverado HD lineup powers the concept. It delivers more horsepower and torque than ever—an Sae-certified 445 hp (332 kw) and net 910 lb-ft (1,234 Nm)— for easier, more confident hauling and trailering.
