To answer the obvious question, this rendering portraying a Chevrolet Camaro pickup truck had been put together for the sake of giggles. So, if you happen to identify as a purists, there's no reason to fret about anybody ruining a Camaro by turning it into a full-size pickup truck.
Now, the starting point for this shenanigan was the Ford F-150 Raptor and there's a solid reason for that - if you're in the market for a performance truck that can be driven right off the showroom floor these days, the Raptor is in a class of its own.
If you have to find the closest competitors coming from the other two Detroit giants, we have to mention the Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss and, of course, the Ram Rebel. In fact, the latter will even receive a TRX incarnation soon (here is some fresh spy media). And, as showcased by the namesake concept, this will finally see the Ram badge gaining Hellcat motivation, so it sounds like the Raptor is in serious trouble.
Returning to the Camaro, the ZL1 used for this digital adventure, is a model that has secured its place in the muscle car hall of fame. Sure, any range-topper is a delight, but keep in mind that the 1LE incarnation of the sixth-gen Camaro ZL1 proved it could tame the Nurburgring back in 2017.
That's when the slab of America blitzed the infamous German track in 7:16:04, the kind of chronograph aficionados used to associate with supercars of that time.
Come to think of it, the current Camaro hasn't played all its cards yet. You see, the iconic nameplate isn't expected to be replaced until 2023, with an all-electric model expected to be part of the next generation. Meanwhile, though, Chevy might just prove the rumors about the return of the Z/51 for the 2021 or the 2022 model year were true.
