The unveiling took place at the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this week.

Developed in collaboration with Realtree, a company that specializes in camo equipment and clothing for hunting and fishing enthusiasts, this outdoor-ready pickup will be available in a limited number of units, all based on the Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss.
That means you get a two-inch factory suspension lift and the Silverado’s Z71 Off-Road Package which includes monotube Rancho shocks, Hill Descent Control, automatic locking rear differential, skid plates and an AutoTrac two-speed transfer case.
The Realtree Edition adds several camo graphics most notably on the hood, bed panels and interior door panels. No wild animal will ever mistake the truck for a bunch of trees, but you get the idea.
Other distinctive features include 20-inch black wheels with Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, black Silverado and Z71 badging, black rectangular dual exhaust tips, four-inch black round assist steps and all-weather floorliners. Meanwhile, the high-strength, roll-formed steel bed floor will be perfect to haul your gear and game.
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Realtree Edition will go on sale this summer with a standard 5.3-litre V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower via a six-speed automatic transmission. GM’s 6.2-litre V8 rated at 420 horsepower is optional along with a 10-speed box. Pricing has yet to be announced.
