Meet the 2024 Chevy Silverado Fox Factory Edition. A 700-horsepower brutal pickup truck with a suspension that has enough travel to even safely land on an aircraft carrier. And the most interesting thing is that there will be far more than one such car. A total of 500 examples will be built.

The declared cost of the SUV is $209999, or about 19,7 million rubles. Expensive, yes, and also 100000 USD more than one of the main competitors, the F-150 Raptor R, costs. Moreover, this is the starting price tag, and then everything depends on the equipment.
The price of a custom Chevy Silverado includes a 6,2-liter V8 engine producing 700 horsepower. With. and with a torque of 867 N*m. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Borla exhaust pipe. The latter makes the engine growl even louder.
The engine is not the most interesting thing about the new product. The updated Silverado has lost its original leaf-spring rear suspension. In its place was a long-stroke multi-link system. As a result, its stroke increased to 39 cm, which will definitely come in handy in difficult road conditions.
Changes also affected the front suspension. Its stroke increased to 36,8 cm due to the installation of new A-arms. All chassis elements are branded - they are manufactured by Fox Factory itself.
The suspension also includes a Dana 60 axle and an ARB pneumatic locker on the rear axle. The entire system is electronically controlled from the cabin. At the touch of a button, the driver can raise or lower the SUV, adjusting it to the road conditions.

Changes made to the suspension design increased the track by 15 cm. The SUV sits on 17-inch wheels with 37-inch BFG K02 tires mounted on them.
In addition to technical innovations, the Chevy Silverado from Fox Factory received new front fenders and a hood made of lightweight carbon fiber. The rear sides are made of a similar material.
Factory bumpers were replaced with custom ones, adapted for higher ground clearance. New headlights installed. The interior is trimmed with Alcantara and complemented with carbon fiber elements.
