Imagine, sitting in the cabin of a brand new Chevy Silverado 1500 HD, believing it’s just a normal pickup and then all of a sudden being pressed into your seat trying to not scream bloody murder.

Monster builds are nothing new here. We routinely see 1,000-plus horsepower builds. From Camaros to Corvettes and everything in between.

It’s so fitting that 72-year-old Richard Hutchins drag-races in a Chevrolet Rebellion because he refuses to do the things most people would expect him to do.

It seems someone got impatient waiting for a new Silverado SS to come out and decided to make their own Chevrolet supertruck.

The Chevrolet Silverado you see here has a driver’s door from another truck, a junkyard alternator, and a cheap boost controller.

Chevrolet needs the 2015 Colorado to be more than just a case of good placement and timing. The automaker needs it to be the right truck. I had a week to determine if a crew cab Z71 model felt that way to me.

It seems GM thinks its Z71-equipped trucks can be even more bad-ass. The company has moved to trademark the name “Z71 Trail Boss.”
