Chevrolet doesn't want you going to an aftermarket modifier. Not because it doesn't want you modifying your truck at all, but because it wants to be the one supplying the parts. To that end, it has introduced four Silverado Concepts to show you all the personalization you can achieve with Chevy accessories.

The Silverado High Country Concept was unveiled today at the State Fair of Texas and three more (the LTZ Concept, the RST Off Road and the RST Street) will be unveiled at other events. All four will then be shown off at SEMA.

Each concept is designed to show off what Chevy's warranted parts can do to make your Silverado neither plain nor Jane.


"We know every truck customer is unique, which is why the Silverado offers eight trims, each with a different combination of technology, performance, and design," said Hugh Milne, Silverado marketing manager. "With a full catalog of accessories and performance parts, we offer exponentially more ways for customers to build their ideal truck. And, unlike certain aftermarket components, these are designed, engineered and validated to the same engineering standards as the Silverado itself, and backed by Chevrolet."



The High Country Concept, specifically, was designed as a "premium" outdoor truck, for the rakish cowboy type with a bit of cash. Raised by two inches and sporting bigger wheels, the modifications are subtle, but powerful and include:
