Meet the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 Redline Edition.
It's a long name for a big truck with big capabilities.
Part of the Z71 edition gives you up-rated suspension and underbody armor.
And the Redline gives you a more blacked out exterior.
That includes these dark wheels with... wait for it... red lines!
Under the hood of ours was the biggest engine on offer, the 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Configured with the Max Trailering package, the 1500 with that engine can tow a whopping 12,500 pounds!
That is class-leading, which is all-important in this sector.
And, perhaps even more importantly, the Silverado 1500 has amazing on-road manners. It's a relatively pleasant drive.
The Silverado 1500 starts at under $28,000, but if you want one configured like this, look to spend $59,610.
