awesome trucks
There’s some thing desirable about a base-version pickup—maybe it’s all of the old Chevy C-10s, Ford F-100s, and assorted circumvent trucks we troll the internet for, or maybe it’s that contemporary vehicles are pricier and more tech-weighted down than German luxury sedans. A 2015 Ford F-a hundred and fifty we ran through our How We’d Spec It on line configurator take a look at become a moderately ready four-door that price nearly $50,000. Having already rebelled in opposition to ever-climbing truck charges with our stripper F-150 build (below $30K!) and built a near-fifty-grand Silverado 1500, it’s time once more for a few reasonably-priced subversive action. Enter our modern day base-model truck fantasy build, a 2015 Chevy Silverado paintings Truck.
Version:
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 normal Cab short box 2WD (base rate: $27,three hundred)
For simply below $30,000, Chevy’s base Silverado is available in regular-cab “work Truck” form that, like Ford’s base F-a hundred and fifty, rocks black-coloured plastic trim, metallic wheels, and a popular vinyl bench seat. GM’s all-new 4.Three-liter V-6 is blanketed, and it makes a wholesome 255 horsepower and 305 lb-feet of torque and even features cylinder deactivation and direct gas injection. The cabin is austere however now not a complete penalty box, with a four-speaker audio machine with USB and auxiliary ports; a center fold-down armrest; a 3.Five-inch driving force-statistics display; energy door locks; cruise manipulate; and air con. Positive, the ground is vinyl and the home windows are manual windup sorts, but searching at it from a pitcher-half-full perspective, the factor’s easy to clean and also you burn calories at each tollbooth and force-through.Or a few stunning reason we won’t question right here, Chevy offers an array of Borla cat-back exhaust structures on the choice sheet. We selected the $1249 dual-facet-outlet setup, which clusters a pair of tailpipes close to the inventory exhaust place. As attractive as twin exhausts poking out from underneath the rear bumper could be, we decided to hold our low-spec velocity device as sleepy-looking as possible. As such, we stuck with the oh-so-commercial Summit White paint; as cool as it is that the Silverado comes with a vinyl bench, we decide on now not to paste to things in hot climate, so we swapped it for a material unit for no charge. Oh, and because we adore to look out of our home windows, we opted for the $175 rear window defogger.

The Ford-versus-Chevy guys available can also have observed that our unicorn base Silverado’s charge tallies as much as $30,778—a little over $1K greater than the stripper F-one hundred fifty we built to similar spec. The 2 are literally the same truck—V-eight, rear-force, manual crank home windows, towing bundle—meaning the Chevy’s Borla exhaust is the difference-maker. Leave off the exhaust, and the Silverado work Truck’s fee dips below $30K. That stated, the exhaust probably sounds candy, and given how even a team-cab, 4-wheel-drive Silverado with the same V-8 we examined hit 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, the light-weight, cheater-axle-ready Silverado pictured here ought to be even faster. We simply want the manufacturers’ press fleets had vehicles ready this manner, because we’re wondering a cheap-truck contrast take a look at is so as . . .
