2021 Silverado Realtree Edition: Sensational Splash of Camo + Off-Road Prowess

One attribute of truck buyers we have realized here at West Chevy of Memphis is that outdoorsmen are perhaps some of the most loyal pickup truck buyers of all. In celebration of men and women everywhere that can't control their urge to hunt, fish, and be as far away from the city as possible, the 2021 Silverado Realtree Edition is a special appearance package that is built upon the 4-wheeling Custom Trail Boss trim. Chevy's partnership with the camouflage brand first came about with the 2016 Silverado Realtree Edition, and it now sees an upgrade for the half-ton pickup's fourth generation in existence.

For starters, there is a splash of camo graphics on the Silverado's bed as well as its hood, and inside components like the door handle grabs have been covered with the distinct camo. The Realtree logo is also present on the durable bedliner, and the Custom Trail Boss extras such as two-inch factory suspension lift and upsized Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires are on deck for off-road mastery.

This Realtree Edition also comes fully equipped with Chevy's Z71 off-road package, which offers up Hill Descent Control, Rancho monotube shocks, skid plates, an automatic locking rear differential, and an AutoTrac two-speed transfer case. The standard engine is a 5.3-liter V8, and you can choose to upgrade to the 6.2-liter if you desire, upping the ante to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The heftier option is paired to the 10-speed automatic, while the first one runs in conjunction with the six-speed gearbox. Disappointingly for some, it doesn't currently look like the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six will be available, since it can only integrate with the Silverado LT and higher trims.

The staff on duty at Motor Trend remarked this year that the 2021 Silverado possesses “Phenomenal powertrains, responsive steering, and over-the-top pulling power”. Motor1.com called the Trail Boss trim “Tough as nails and a helluva ride” and doled out extra appreciation for the hidden storage compartments under the front seats and rear bench, and the number of USB ports found within the center console and back seat.

The new Silverado’s exterior sheet metal is nothing short of revolutionary, and we feel it’s a show-stealer as far as the continuing rivalry with the menacing cross-town Dodge Ram! When you come to see us here for a test drive, you’ll be impressed with the handling and stability of the Duratrac Mud-Terrain tires: they redefine the “go anywhere” mantra with their knobby makeup and expert design!
