The new package is offered on Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 crew cab models and features exterior camo graphics, the Realtree logo embroidered on the front-seat headrests, special blackout trim, black bow ties, off-road assist steps and 20-inch black wheels with all-terrain tires.

The car also has some more additional equipment for off-roading, such as the Z71 off-road package with Rancho monotube shocks, Hill Decent Control, an underbody shield, the G80 auto locking rear differential, standard four-wheel disc brakes with Duralife brake rotors, new phone integration, 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity, new wireless phone charging or new available remote locking tailgate.

The capability of Chevy trucks has always enabled customers to go where they want to go, and that’s the inspiration for the new Silverado Realtree Edition. Personalized for the outdoorsman, this great-looking, very capable Silverado offers another choice for customers looking for a truck with style, capability and dependability,” Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet Truck Marketing, commented.

Bill Jordan, Realtree Designer and President, stated that “Working with the team at Chevrolet on this new Realtree Edition Silverado really brought home to me just how important the right truck is for outdoor enthusiasts [...] This truck has the perfect combination of features, comfort and safety - whether you’re driving around town, on the highway or off-road.

The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with an all-new design, LED lighting, advanced connectivity and improved customer-focused technologies.

Under the hood lies either the 5.3-liter engine or the most powerful engine in a light-duty truck, the 6.2-liter V8 mill developing 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque. Thanks to advanced technologies such as direct injection, Active Fuel Management, and continuously variable valve timing, the car offers the best V8 fuel economy in a pickup, 23 mpg (10.2 l/100km) in 5.3-liter models.

The new Chevy Silverado Realtree is available for purchase starting spring 2016.
